Use of inappropriate word in duah.

[Saalik]

Respected Imam Saahab, with all the due respect that I owe you I am hereby asking for your wise opinion on the following:-

Is it correct to say thus:

May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'alaa keeps us away from all actions that belittle His Beloved Nabi Sayyadinah Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha Salla Laahu Alaihe Wa Sallam.

Is bellittle a convenient word to use? Can our actions really belittle our Madani Aaqaa Salla Laahu Alaihe Wa Sallam? Does the use of the word belittle (literal or figurative) in the duah becomes Kufr-e-Kalaam in this case? What about instead of using the above word if we use "cause pain to" like below, with the intention that our Master Sayyadinah Rahmatul-lil-Aalamine Salla Laahu Alaihe Wa Sallam is pained with our wrong doings because of His Love for us, His Ummat.


May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'alaa keeps us away from all actions that cause pain to His Beloved Nabi Sayyadinah Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha Sallal Laahu Alaihe Wa Sallam.


Jazzak Allah Khairan.


Allahumma Salle Alaa Sayyidinah Wa Mawlaanah Raahate Qulubenaa Wa Shafie Zunubenaa Wa Tabibe Zaahirina Wa Baatinina Muhammadinw Wa Alaa Aalehi Wa Ashaabehi Wa Awliyaae Ummatehi Ajmain Ilah Yawmiddeen.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam


Jazak'allah for your question. If you take the word 'belittle' to mean 'gustakhi', then may Allah the Almighty prevent us all from making any such remarks, and any such actions which could be the cause of that.


If you mean, which may cause an 'upset', then Allah the Almighty is our guide, and we should do all we can in terms of struggle, and care, not to do those things which may upset our Aqa, the Most Beloved of His Creator Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.


Generally we should not really go too deep into meanings of such actions as they are not positive actions. However, we should go thoroughly deep, and take care, in all those actions which are positive, and any supplication that we make, must be positive also. For example, to supplicate that;

'Oh Allah, help us to make all those actions which are beloved to You, and Your Beloved Messenger Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, in terms of word and action' instead of concentrating on what 'may belittle them'.

I hope that i was not too technical in my explanation, and trust you, that if you do have any further questioning, that you will refer back.



Wallahu A'lamu Biththawaab
