– Shaykh Navaid Aziz
I looked at the greatest needs we have
in this day and age and selected 7 dua’s from the Quran and Sunnah that I
feel would be in the best interests of every Muslim. It would be ideal
to print this list (or have it on your phone) and keep it handy at the
time of iftar. Likewise, please add to your list anything else that you
would like, especially that which your heart desires. For your
convenience I have included the Arabic, English transliteration, and
English translation. I pray Allah accepts from us all, and makes us from
those who are forgiven and pardoned this Ramadan and entered into
alfirdaws in the hereafter. Ameen.
DUA 1:

وضَلْـعِ الـدَّيْنِ وغَلَبَـةِ الرِّجال

bukhli wal jubni, wa dala’ad-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijâl.

powered by men.)
