SUPPLICATION


Meaning of SUPPLICATION in English

Dua, prayer

Useful information: It is recommended that after offering the prayers one should engage oneself for some time in reciting supplications and reading the holy Qur'an. It is better that before he leaves his place and his ablutions, or ceremonial bath or tayammum becomes void, he should recite supplications facing Qibla

It is not necessary that supplications be recited in Arabic but it is better to recite those supplications, which have been given in the book of supplications. The tasbih (hymn) of Lady Fatima-tuz-Zahra (peace be on her) is one of those supplications which have been stressed upon most. This tasbih should be recited in the following order: Allahu Akbar 34 times; Alhamdulillah 33 times and Subhanallah 33 times. It is permissible to recite Subhanallah earlier than Alhamdulillah, but it is better to maintain the said order.
