Why are we doing this?
“Some EARTH SHKING rights were given to women by Islam in the 7th century that were unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Many of those rights were not given to women in western countries until the 20th century, 1,400 years later."
Let NO ONE tell you OR make you believe you DESERVE LESS than the value Your Creator has already given you! ALHAMDULILLAH!
EMBRACE it and CELEBRATE being a MUSLIMAH.

Seek the Divine Help
With the power
of
Dua’
![Page 13: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is
Dua’?
![Page 14: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is Dua’?
• Supplication• A petition, a request, a desire, a wish, a need, a
want• Loosely translated in English, you can say prayer
or supplication, but it is so much more than that. • A weapon of a believer• Essence of worship. Dua’ is a common
indispensable element among every faith
![Page 15: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In Short
• Dua’ (prayer) is a form of Ibaadat (worship) - a powerful Ibaadat that can create and alter Qismat (destiny), and Allah is generous and if His servant raises his hands towards Him, He answers it.
• We can make Dua’ for anything and everything that we need including guidance, forgiveness, paradise, solution to problems – best in this life and the Hereafter
![Page 16: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dua’ goes hand in hand with gratitude
First word in the Quran
AlhamdullilahAll praise and gratitude belongs to Allah (The God)
![Page 17: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

"And remember when your Lord proclaimed: IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL, I will surely INCREASE YOU."
[Surah Ibrahim 14:07]
![Page 18: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dua’ goes hand in hand with gratitude
ون, ف&ر& ( H ل,ى و)ال) ت وا &ر& ڪ & و) ك & ك ( ,ىK أ ون &ر& ك مف) م ٱ م� م� م� م� ٱ
So remember Me, and I will remember you, and be thankful to Me and be not ungrateful to Me.
(Surah Baqarah 2: 152)
![Page 19: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dua’ A Total Win-Win
• More Dua’ means more remembrance of God!• A worship that can be done irrespective of any
state you are in• You can make Dua’ in your own language and in
your own time and in any place.• Sometimes you don’t even need words in a Dua’. It
is just a spiritual connection between you and your Lord.
![Page 20: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why should we make
Dua’?
![Page 21: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
We are always in need
Human beings are always in need of something because we are not self
sufficient. Whereas God (Allah SWT) is self sufficient
AS-SAMAD. He does not need anything from anyone. We need Him, he does not
need us.
![Page 22: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Asking the One who is capable of giving
• He is capable of giving and He loves to give
• When you ask something from a person vs. when you ask something from Allah
![Page 23: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Because He knows
Allah is close to every one of us. He has the knowledge of our wishes, feelings, thoughts, every word uttered,
anything whispered and even what is concealed deep in our thoughts.
He knows and hears everyone who turns to Him and makes Dua’ to Him.
![Page 24: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Because He told us to ask Him
“And when my servants ask you about Me, then no doubt about it I am near. I respond to the call of
one when he prays to Me. So let them respond to Me, and have faith in Me, so that they may be on
the right path.”
(Surah Baqarah 2:186)
![Page 25: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Because He told us to ask Him
• This is God’s blessing on mankind and a manifestation of His mercy, grace and infinite power.
• Notice the use of word When instead of If• Allah says that I am near – implying that He is already
near. And we know that Allah has mentioned in the Quran that He is closer to each one of us individually – Closer than our jugular vein (Surah Qaf 50:16)
• For answering the Dua’, Allah uses the word Ujeeboo which means I answer immediately – not that I will answer or I try to answer
![Page 26: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Because He told us to ask Him
Your Master has said: “Call Me, I will respond to you. (Surah Ghafir 40:60)
![Page 27: Introducing Aafreen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b4f38ebb61eb20038b46e1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Because His Prophet (PBUH) reminded us
The messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, said:
“Shall I introduce to you a weapon which will protect you both from the evils of enemies and increase your sustenance?”
They said: Yes, O Messenger of God.
He said: “Call upon your Master day and night, for “Prayer” is the weapon of a believer.”

Our Master, surely You know what we conceal and what we reveal. For nothing whatsoever is hidden from Allah, whether
on the Earth or in the Heavens.Surah Ibrahim (Abraham) 14: 38
Whatever we have inside us, Allah already knows about it. We do not need to carry the guilt, shame and fear. We must always ask Him for forgiveness
and carry on. So Dua’ is a powerful tool to let things go, allowing ourselves to rise your personality
