Friday Sermon explain about Doa
Doa or supplications have their own speciality and many
benefits. Through Doa, a person seeks blessings from
Allah the Almighty, forgiveness and protection as well
as deliverance from disaster and suffering. Those who
ask sincerely, will see Allah the Almighty accept their
doa. Friday, Friday sermon also explained that Doa can
prevent disasters, even if it is ordained by the
Almighty. For an effective Doa, the Muslim Ummah is
urged to offer it with discipline. A person must take
the Wudhu or ablution properly, perform the Doa facing
the Kiblat, starting and ending it by praising Allah the
Almighty and offering Salawat to Prophet Mohammad S.A.W.
The Imam says that Doa should be read in a low tone and
in humility. Parents should be given priority in the
Doa of their children in a show of thanks to repay their
kindness and care during one's childhood.
