Let us pray for relief from this calamity and to be bestowed with a prosperous life
We are well aware of the situation the world is currently facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of people have been infected, while many thousands of lives have been lost due by this virus. The whole world has come to a standstill. Normal routine lifestyles have been disrupted severely. People are miserably spending their days in fear, sorrow and in depression.
It is a duty bound upon every Muslim to pray towards Allah for the total eradication of this situation from our country and from the rest of the world.
It is known that since the initial stage of this situation, the ACJU has been continuously reiterating to engage in Tawbah, Isthigfar, to observe Sunnah Fasts, to offer Sadaqa and to involve in Duas. Through supplications (Dua) our needs are fulfilled, virtues are attained. It also a means of gaining nearness to Allah. Allah loves those of his slaves who supplicate to him.
“Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” (Quran 40:60)
At a critical period when many people are facing economic issues and other difficulties, engaging in charity in all possible means and observing supplementary fasts in abundantly, would gain the pleasure of Allah. The current month of Sha’baan, is a period when the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to observe supplementary fast excessively. Based upon this, the ACJU encourages those who are able, to observe fast and supplicate on the Lunar Days 13,14,15 (April 07,08,09) which is known to be Ayyaamul Beel.
The ACJU requests all Muslim males, females, youngsters, and the elderly to remain at their homes and engage in good deeds, and to excessively supplicate to Allah to relive everyone from difficulties, and also to seek refuge from Allah by reciting the respective morning and evening recitals consistently.
His Excellency the President has also requested all religious places to engage in prayers for the recovery of the nation from all sorts of difficulties, and for prevalence of development and prosperity. Accordingly, during the days of ‘Ayyamul Beel’, the ACJU kindly requests the Masjids to arrange Duas to be supplicated via the loudspeakers after Maghrib Azan, and the people shall respond with ‘Aameen’ from their residences
The following sample Duas can be used for this purpose. We request to supplicate these Duas individually as well.
May Almighty Allah protect us and the people of this nation from all sorts of calamities! And may He ease all affairs!

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ (سورة الأنبياء)
“There is none worthy of worship except You. You are pure. Verily I am amongst the oppressors”
لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ العَظِيمُ الحَلِيمُ، لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ العَرْشِ العَظِيمِ، لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ، وَرَبُّ العَرْشِ الكَرِيمِ. (البخاري: 6346/ مسلم: 2730).
“None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the Heavens, Lord of the Earth and Lord of the noble throne.”
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الهَمِّ وَالحَزَنِ، وَالعَجْزِ وَالكَسَلِ، وَالبُخْلِ، وَالجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ.
(البخاري: 6369)
“O Allah! I Seek refuge with you from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men.
اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ نرْجُو، فَلَا تَكِلْنِا إِلَى أنفسنا طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لنا شَأْننا كُلَّها، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ . (حديث حسن) (سنن أبي داود:4246).
“O Allah, I hope for your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for the blinking of an eye (i.e a moment). Correct all of my affairs for me. There is none worthy of worship but You!”
اللَّهُ، اللَّهُ ربنا، لَا نشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا (حديث حسن) (سنن ابن ماجه:3132)
“Allah, Allah is my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him”
اللَّهُمَّ إنا نسْأَلُكَ العافِيَـةَ فـي الدُّنيا والآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إنا نسْأَلُكَ العَفْوَ والعافِيَـةَ فـي دِيننا ودُنْـيانا وأَهْلِنا ومالِنا، اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُـرْ عَوْراتِنا، وآمِنْ رَوْعاتِنا، اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنا مِنْ بَـيْنِ أيَدَينا، ومِنْ خَلْفِنا، وعَنْ يَمِيـنِـنا، وعَنْ شِمالِنا، ومِنْ فَوْقِنا، ونعُوذُ بِعَظَمَـتِكَ أَنْ نغْتالَ مِنْ تَحْتِـنا. (سنن أبي داود -5073)
“O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religious and my worldly affairs. O Allah, conceal my faults, calm my fears, and protect me from before me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in You from being taken unaware from beneath me.”
اللَّهُمَّ إنا نسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ وَالسَّلامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ نسْأَلُكَ أَلا تَدَعَ لنا ذَنْبًا إِلا غَفَرْتَهُ وَلا هَمًّا إِلا فَرَّجْتَهُ وَلا حَاجَةً هِيَ لكَ رِضًا إِلا قَضَيْتَهَا. (الترمذي: 479)
“I ask You for that which warrants Your mercy, and that which will determine Your forgiveness, and the spoils (fruits) of every righteous deed, and safety from every sin; do not leave a sin for me without forgiving it, nor a worry without relieving it. Or a need that pleases you without granting it.”
اللَّهُمَّ إنا نَعوذ بك من جَهْدِ البلاءِ، ودَرَكِ الشَّقاءِ، وَسُوءِ القضاءِ، وشَماتَةِ الأَعدَاء(البخاري:6347)
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the difficulty of affliction, from the burden of hardship, from evil judgement and from the enemy’s malicious rejoicing (for my suffering).”
اللَّهُمَّ إنا نعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ (رواه مسلم)
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You against the declining of Your Favours, passing of safety, the suddenness of Your punishment and all that which displeases You.”
اللَّهُمَّ إِنّا نعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ، وَالْجُنُونِ، وَالْجُذَامِ، وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الأَسْقَامِ (سنن أبي داود)
“O Allah! Indeed I seek refuge in You from leucoderma, and madness, and leprosy, and all bad diseases.”
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (الترمذي)
“In the name of Allah, through whose name nothing in the heavens or earth can cause any harm. And He is the One who hears and knows everything.”
