Freedom From Jahannam And Acceptance of Dua
Freedom From Jahannam And Acceptance of Dua in Ramadan
Abu Saeed Khudri (radiyallahu Anhu) relates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Everyday and night of Ramadan Allah sets free a great number of souls from Jahannam. And for every Muslim during everyday and night there is a time when his dua is certainly accepted. Apart from the above Hadith there are many others stating that the dua of fasting person is mustajaab (accepted). In one Hadith we read that the dua is accepted at the time of iftaar. The famous dua at Iftaar is :
“O Allah for You have I fasted, in You do I believe, and on You do I rely and noe I break this fast with food coming from You.”
Abdullah bin Amr (radiyallahu anhu) used to read the following dua:
“O Allah I beg You, through Your infinite Mercy which surrounds all things to forgive me.”
In some books we read that Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to say:
“O You who are Great in Bounties, forgive me.”
