The Art of Asking from God

We have all stood in situations and circumstances, whether out of despair or gratitude. Raised our hands and supplicated to Allah for a need, for help, or to merely show thanks. To make a dua can be an art we all have the ability to harness. As we slowly approach the holy month of Ramadan, where the nights are blessed and the gates of forgiveness are open. We will in this month's critical issues seminar at SeekersGuidance Canada, aim to answer the following questions:

What is the importance of Dua?

In which way does Dua come forth in the Quran & Sunnah?

What are the various examples of Dua from the companions and friends of Allah?

What are the ways to approach an accepted Dua?

Speakers:

1. Shaykh Faraz Rabbani spent ten years studying with some of the leading scholars of recent times, first in Damascus, and then in Amman, Jordan. His teachers include the foremost theologian of recent times in Damascus, the late Shaykh Adib al-Kallas (may Allah have mercy on him), as well as his student Shaykh Hassan al-Hindi, one of the leading Hanafi fuqaha of the present age. He returned to Canada in 2007, where he founded SeekersGuidance in order to meet the urgent need to spread Islamic knowledge–both online and on the ground–in a reliable, relevant, inspiring, and accessible manner.
