Simple Explanation Of This Dua

Oh Allah, to you belongs all praise.

O Allah, to you belongs all praise, You are the light of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them.

To You belongs all praise, You are the sustenaner of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. To You belongs all praise, You are the Lord of the Heavens and earth and all that is within them. To You belongs all praise and the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them.

Look at how beautiful this supplication is.

What is this praising Allah?

So Many people say that part of the etiquette of Dua is to praise Allah and offer salutation upon the Prophet SAW.

How do we praise Allah?

This is one way of doing it.

To You belongs all praise, You are the king of the heavens and the earth.

And to you belong all praise, You are all the truth.

Your promise is truth, Your word is true, And the day in which we will encounter You is true, The garden of paradise is true, The Hellfire is true, The prophets are true, Muhammad SAW is true, and the final hour is true.

All of this you say as an inauguration of your prayer.

What does it contain?

It contains the pillars of iman, it contains all what you believe in, and imagine when you say it every single night, this is what you leave upon. This is the code you leave upon, which is most Muslims don’t even know.

Then he says,

oh, Allah, unto you I have submitted, Allah I declare, I submit everything in my life, All my decisions are by your instruction, O Allah, unto you I have submitted, And upon you I’ve relied, I trust no one, I rely on no one, I have no confidence except in you, And in you I have believed.

And to you I have turned in repentance, and over you I have disputed.

So my dispute is not over worldly matters or for dominance or to gain power. When I dispute, it’s for your sake

And to you I have turned for judgment.

I don’t go to the Security Council, I don’t go to the Labor Court, I go to the Sharia Court, Quran and Sunnah.

This is your law that I go for arbitration, so forgive me, after mentioning all of this, I say so forgive me, this is a conclusion.

Forgive me for what has come to pass of my sins and what will come to pass that is in the future and what I have hidden and what I have done publicly you are all Mukkadim and Muakkir, and these are two of Allah’s beautiful names.

None has the right to be worshiped except you. You are my deity. None has the right to be worshiped except you.

The concept of praising Allah like this, shows you how much love the heart of the prophet SAW contains for Allah.

And by the way this comes only from knowledge.

Now, when you pray to Allah, what do you know of him?

Unfortunately, nothing.

We know about the best footballers. We know about those who won the Oscars and the latest movies, the latest songs, the artists, the singers, the actors.

If we don’t know Allah Azzawajal, it indicates that we have zero knowledge of who Allah is.

And this is why we have big failure in tasting our prayers, in contemplating on the thicker that comes out of our mouths.

And you haven’t started fatiha yet, then you will find a different taste for your prayer, especially your night prayer.

May Allah make me and you among those who stand in the middle of the night seeking his forgiveness, wanting his favors and blessing.
