Question:
Asslamo Allaikum Shaykh,
I heard your Urdu Bayan on dua and then I translated the Wazeefa which you have given at the beginning for the benefit of English speaking people but before publishing it on my site I thought that Rasulullah (Sallahu Alaihe Wassallam) has given us Salatul-Hajat for our needs so shouldn’t we read it for our needs?
And if people are looking for Wazeefas then doesn’t it damage their Eemaan that they will think that by reading Salatul-Hajat my need was not fulfilled but after reading a Wazeefa by a certain Shaykh my need was fulfilled.
I fully understand that the Wazeefa only consists of Ayaat of the Qur’aan but my mind cannot understand it so please explain it to me.
Jazakullah Khairun
Answer:
We learn from the experiences of numerous Ulama and Mashaaikh that certain wazeefahs can be more effective for certain purposes. If a person feels his purpose was not fulfilled through Salaatul Hajaat, this must be due to some deficiency in their salah.
