Seize the Last Hour today

by Asma bint Shameem


Today is a beautiful chance to make duaa for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.


That’s because there’s a SPECIAL TIME on Fridays when our Duaas are GUARANTEED to be accepted.


🍃 The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:


“The day of Friday has twelve hours, in which there is no Muslim slave who asks Allaah for anything but He will grant it to him, so seek it in the last hour after ‘Asr.”

(Abu Dawood, and an-Nasaa’i- saheeh by al-Albaani)


This is known as Sa’at al-Istijaabah (a time when Duaa is answered)


So the Duaa that’s made before Maghrib on Fridays is answered.


That’s why some of our pious predecessors would close their businesses, leave the world behind and confine themselves to the masjid after Asr, just to make Duaa.


🍃When Mufaddal bin Fudhaalah would pray Asr on Fridays, he would seclude himself alone to a corner of the masjid and then continue making duaa until the sun would set.


🍃 Similarly, Sa’eed bin Jubayr would pray Asr, then he would not speak to anyone until the sun would set - meaning that he would busy himself with duaa.


🍃 Ṣalt bin Bastaam once became blind, so his brothers sat after Asr on Friday making duaa for him, and suddenly before the sun set, he sneezed and his sight returned!


So be SURE to make good use of this time.

Free yourself up of all other distractions and make special efforts to set aside this time only for duaa.

Beg Allaah for His Mercy on the people of Palestine and the rest of the Ummah.

Be sincere and make taubah of all your sins.

Cry and beseech His Help and victory in that SPECIAL ‘HOUR’ when Duaa is accepted on Fridays, this evening.


‎🍃 Ibn al-Qayyim said:


‎“The Hour of Response in it (i.e. Friday) is like the Night of Decree in Ramadhaan.” ⁣

‎⁣(Zaad al-Maa’d 1/398)


Surely Allaah’s Help is near.
