Today's reflection is adapted from the introduction to the book Calling on the Merciful, which features excerpts from the supplications taught by the Beloveds of Allah [swt].
In this episode, we reflect on the beautiful invitation and promise from Allah [swt] in Surah Ghafir [40:60]:
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
"And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will answer you."
This verse is a powerful reminder of our constant need for connection with the Divine. Despite our illusions of self-sufficiency, our hearts long for the One who never fails us. Allah [swt] reassures us that He listens, responds, and never tires of our supplications.
Drawing upon Quranic wisdom and the supplications of the Ahlul Bayt [as], we explore:
🔹 How Dua is not just about seeking worldly relief but about deepening our relationship with Allah.
🔹 The importance of aiming higher in our prayers—beyond immediate needs to true spiritual fulfillment.
🔹 The transformative power of calling upon Allah through the words of His Beloveds.
🔹 How the act of supplication itself brings healing, peace, and clarity, even before our prayers are answered.
✨ Special Reflection for This Month ✨
Let us mindfully engage with the supplications of the Ahlul Bayt [as], allowing their wisdom to guide our hearts and souls. Join us on Instagram for daily excerpts from these profound prayers:
