dua for earthquake victims

[aabassi]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

I was wondering if there are any special duas you can recommend us to pray for all the earthquake shahid in kashmir ?

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Wa' laykum-as-Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Brakaatuhu.

The best thing to do, is whenever you pray Qur'an, pray salaah, perform wudhu', or make a suplication, or whichever deed you do, to make du'a, and to present the reward of your deed, to all those people who have passed away as Shaheed, in Kashmir.

Remember, when you pray salaah, you say:

'Rabbij'alni....'
'Oh my lord, make me firm in my prayer, and make my offspring firm also, accept my supplication oh lord, oh my lord forgive me, my parents, and all those people until the day of Judgement'

When you pray salaah, you make this supplication, which does not specify any exemptions, in terms of people, at any time, but until the Day of Judgement, so everyones forgiveness is being asked for, which is perfectly permissable.

Another one is the one after the above du'a:
'rabbanaa aatinaa fid dunyaa.....'
Which is also said in salaah. But whether it is said in salaah or outside salaah, Allah is the acceptor of all supplication.

But we must NEVER cease our five time prayer!

May Allah help us to supplicate in whatever words that we have, that may be pleasing to Him, and may He accept our prayer. (Amin).
