Amal at the time of calamity
1. Qunoot-e-Naazilah:
Rasulullahencouraged the Ummah to read this duaa at the time of
distress and calamity. Encourage family members to recite this duaa daily; as well as our local
ulama to recite in the Fajr salaah;preferably. We may learn or get a copy of the Duaa-e-Naazila
from our local Ulama; and may recite it; even as a Duaa outside salaah if we are unable to read
it in salaah.2. Useful Wazeefahs:
One may read these beneficial wazeefahs; 100 times daily during times of
calamity and distress:(i) "Hasbunallaahu wa ni'mal wakeel":
Allah is sufficient for us and our Guardian.(ii) "La ilaaha illa anta subhaanaka inni kuntu minaz zaalimeen":
There is none worthy of worship except You. Certainly I am amongst the wrongdoers.
Hazrat Anasdescribes that Rasulullah
said that Allah Ta'ala says that sometimes, He
intends to send a calamity to a land; but the idea is given up; seeing those men who populate
His houses(Masjids) and recite "ISTIGHFAAR" in the late hours of the night; and He witholds
the calamity. (BAYHAQI)Hazrat Jabir
and Hazrat Abu Talha
reported that Rasulullah
has said that whosoever
helps a Muslim at the time of loss of honour and humility; receives Help from Allah when he is
in need of help.( ABU DAWOOD)
