How To Make Powerful Prayer (dua)


Do you believe in the power of dua (prayer)?
Do you really believe in its power?
Many people seem to have abandoned the making of the dua?
It seems like they no longer believe in it.
I was recently reading a book The Secret and it completely made me understand dua even more.
The prophet would make dua even for a shoelace that needed repairing.
Here's how you can bring power to your duas and make them a reality.
1.Desire
Make dua for things you really want badly and desperately
People make dua for things they don't actually care about. Remember when you were a teenager and you wanted to pass your exams really really badly. Ask yourself how much feeling did you have in your dua, how involved were you in it how connected did you feel to it, how badly did you want that grade and make dua for it?
The Quran talks about the person who is so desperate stuck at sea  an atheist and then when all hope was lost they made sincere intentions with full feeling and desperation  called upon God to be saved and the dua was accepted that's the level of desire for the dua you need to have and feeling you need to have when you make  your dua but that can't happen unless you really really want that thing you're asking for. the man got answered as he really wanted to stay alive.
How badly do you want what you're asking for? If there isn't a strong desire for wanting what you're asking. You need to ask for something else.
2.Feeling
Bring feeling into the dua
Imagine you have two beggars  coming up to you and asking you for money one of them displays no emotion no enthusiasm no feeling and  just says, yes can I have some can I have some money please.
The second one explains oh please I desperately need the money I am in such a difficult situation please help me please help me please help me he displays so much feeling so much emotion so much desperation you can feel it and see it yourself out of the two which one are you likely  to give the money to?
When you make dua which one of the two are you?
Robotic duas are not going to go very far.
3.Don't ruin your dua
There's a hadeeth about someone who keeps on making dua until they become very impatient and then say it's not getting answered.
The bigger the thing you're asking for the bigger the dua needs to be. In the book the secret when a person says it does not work they are answered with no it does not work. This invalidates all your previous efforts. Don't do it. If this thought comes into your mind release it.  
4.Provision is not limited
Many people have this feeling and thinking that there is simply not enough resources this is false but true if you believe that this is the case.
I am as my servant thinks of me (hadeeth Qudsi)
If you believe that there's not enough to go around then that's what you'll experience.
An examination of the Quran clearly proves that provision is unlimited.
God provides for whom he wills without limit (surah imran)
If all of mankind were to ask and I gave them what they wanted it would not decrease my Dominion accept the amount a needle takes when it is taken out of water. (Hadeeth Qudsi)
This proves that all of mankind will to be given every single thing they wanted the wealth of God would not decrease at all.
So what you are looking for a house, spouse, wealth it's even less than a needle it might be big to you but it's even less than the amount of water on a needle needle to God.
Look at the number of stars in the sky look at the number stars in space and try to count them.You can't its unlimited. We may be limited God is not.
A company expands when it makes more money.
The universe expands because it's provision is being expanded.
For expansion to occur provision must expand.
So hold the belief that you can get what you want in unlimited quantity from the one who has no limit. If you need a reminder just look around you at creation.
Spend ten minutes contemplating on the Stars the moon's planets the galaxies the creation of the creation in the sea the creation of the earth animals New animals and species that are being discovered everyday, new new inventions that being invented by humans inspired by God.
5.Sajdah
You don't Have to be in salat for this just get on the floor in sajdah with Wudu and ask beg for what you really want. God loves those who ask him and becomes angry when we stop.
6.Complain a lot
What! Yeah complain about your problems. But not to creation to the one who loves hearing complaint. God.
Creation hates complaints. So if creation hates Complaints who should you be complaining to?
If you've worked in a complaints department you know how horrible it must be having to listen to people's complaints one after another. When Yaqoob complained about Yusuf he complained to God not to anyone else. Complain and ask God for better things to replace the complaints. 
7.Last third of the night
Are you someone like me who sleeps late after two sometimes? 
Utilize this time! There is a hadeeth that says God comes to the lowest heaven saying is there any person who would like to be forgiven? Don't think this means just forgiveness this is a time to ask for anything you want! 
This does not mean you have to do wudu, pray tahajjud coz if you're lazy you don't have to do that. 
You could before sleeping late lie on your bed on your back and ask for what you want. Just make sure you feel the dua. 
3 simple practical steps
Step one:Ask 
Believe and know you can have whatever your heart desires. Make it a habit to ask.
The bigger the thing you want the more duas you will have to make to get it. Think about it asking for guidance to find something you've lost such as your wallet is not as big as asking for a beautiful house now is it? 
Step two:Believe 
When you make dua Believe it has been answered and at that moment believe you have received it in the unseen. It just has not shown up in the seen world yet. 
Each time you make dua see it like you've deposited money in the bank it's there deposited but you can't see the money but you know it has been deposited.  You don't need to know how it's gonna happen. This shows a lack of faith. How it's gonna happen is for God to do not you. 
Just believe it will. When I wrote Get Fluent In Arabic  I didn't know how I was gonna write it.I just believed I would. 
Step 3:Receive
Once you've made the dua (prayer) feel happy smile and relieved you have made it. 
Abandon your robotic duas you've been making as a kid and start asking for things you really want.
Thank you please re share if you found this  beneficial :)

How To Get Serious About Your Arabic?

Assalam alaikum everyone,
When I returned back to the UK I started teaching people Arabic for free.
I was excited to teach them Arabic without using English immersing the student into the Arabic language.
In Islam intermediaries are not a good thing. They most certainly are not when it comes to using an intermediary language.
Check out the Berlitz section of my book Get Fluent In Arabic for more details of why using your mother tongue to learn Arabic will only inhibit the learning process.
The free lessons did not last long as students would turn up late, not do the homework assignments, forgetting their classbooks, not even bring pens notepads. (By the way these were grown men.)
It’s just a basic fact of life that free things are never valued.
The more harder it is to get into a certain college the more higher the standards are likely to be. And the more easily readily available something becomes the less valuable and lower in standard it is likely to be right?
I’ll admit that for years in my area we had this gym for young people such as myself. Me and my friends would go to the gym talk for most of the session do 15 minutes worth of a workout and then leave.
Suddenly as soon as the youth worker announced a fee of $5 per session for using the facilities our attitude changed. We started to talk less,  and get on with the main purpose of why we were attending the gym in the first place.
Ask yourself are you looking for cheap or free ways to learn Arabic?
A simple step you could take to make yourself more serious is to start paying for your education. This does not mean spending thousands and thousands of dollars.
After failing my level six half term exam paper scoring a miserable 13 marks out of forty. My initial reaction upon seeing a red circle with a thirteen above a forty was to quit. But then I realized I’ve already paid for the course I need to finish it. And more importantly,  I need to pass the final exam to avoid repeating the whole level again.
If you're a person who is studying by themselves casually put some money down for lessons and you may see your level of seriousness rise up a few notches.
