The Virtue of Dua' Whilst Fasting - Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān حَفِظَهُ الله

www.oxfordsalafidawah.com 'The Virtue of Dua' Whilst Fasting' Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān حَفِظَهُ الله "Allāh, Glorified be He, the Most-High, said: وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ "And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright." [2: 186] This ayah (verse) came amidst the verses (pertaining to) fasting. Allāh, the Most-Sublime, informs his fasting slaves to increase in making Dua' (supplication). Whilst they are fasting and throughout this month generally. Because when supplication is coupled with fasting, it is more deserving of being answered. The supplication of the one fasting is more deserving of being answered. And that is because the one fasting is in a state of worship, and that is (by way of him) fasting. So if he calls upon Allāh during it (i.e. during the fast) then that is more deserving and worthy of being answered to by Allāh. Even though supplications are answered at any (given) time, especially if they are from the one in severe need. Allāh is near (with His Knowledge) and responds at any time. But there are certain times and instances in which supplications are (more) certain (of being responded to). Such as during the fast, in Ramadān and in other than (the month of) Ramadān. (During) the fast, regardless of whether (it be) in Ramadān and in other than (the month of) Ramadān. But the one who is fasting during the month of Ramadān and supplicates, (many) virtues are combined for him. The first of them is the virtue of the month (itself), and secondly the virtue of fasting, and thirdly the virtue of the supplication (itself). All of them being acts of worship. And supplication is the greatest type of worship. As has (been mentioned) in the hadeeth: "Supplication is worship". Meaning it is the greatest type of worship. Allāh, the Most-High, said: وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا "And the mosques are for Allāh (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allah."
