The third important thing about Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith which I will explain now is dua Iftitah hadith. I want you to understand that at the end of this discussion so that you have a good understanding of dua Iftitah after reading this article.
The dua Iftitah hadith that I mean is as follows:
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ أَبِيْ طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ ؛ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِيْ فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيْفاً وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ إِنَّ صَلَاتِيْ وَنُسُكِيْ وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِيْ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَبِذَالِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا أَنْتَ ، أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ ذُنُوْبِيْ جَمِيْعاً إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَاهْدِنِيْ لِأَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّيْ سَيِّئَهَا لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّيْ سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرَ كُلُّه فِيْ يَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوْبُ إِلَيْكَ . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ . وَفِيْ رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِيْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ
From Ali bin Abi Talib radliyallahu anhu, from the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, that when he stood praying, he said, “I turn my face to Allah who has created the heavens and the earth, in a condition of accepting Islam. I am not one of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my worship, my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the universe. There is no sect for him. That’s why I was ordered and I am one of those who surrender. O Allah, You are the Ruler. There is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I confess my sins, so forgive all my sins, verily no one forgives all sins except You. Show me the best etiquette pocket. No one can show that but You. Save me from the worst etiquette, no one can save me from it except only You. I answer Your call and I love to obey You. All goodness is in Your power. Evil does not draw near to You. Your goodness always increases and You are most pure from all shortcomings. I ask Your forgiveness and repent to you.” This hadith was narrated by Muslim. He (Muslim) has another narration that explains that the prayer is read at night prayer.
Please pay attention to the sentences that I bolded in the hadith above. Those are the long dua Iftitah.
That is a brief explanation of dua Iftitah hadith. As Muslims, we must understand that.
That’s a brief explanation of Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith and some important things about all of them. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
I think that’s enough for this article. May be useful. Amen.
