19. Do you know the supplication for strengthening the faith in our heart without any deviation?
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة
ﺑِﺴْـــــــﻢِﷲِﺍﻟﺮَّﺣْﻤَﻦِﺍلرَّﺣِﻴﻢ
Answer:
Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.” (3:8).
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ
Explanation:
We must take precaution to avoid possible deviation of the mind and the heart after accepting the divine guidance.When Allah intends to guide someone, He makes his heart tilt towards what is good and right; and when He decides to let someone go astray, He turns his heart away from the straight path.
While we are In this temporary and transient world we must make preparation for the eternal life of the Hereafter.
To strengthen the faith and to remain firm in their faith, recite this dua’a can be recited in every wajib as well as sunnah salath.
Based on this Quranic supplication, Prophet Mohammad (SAW) asked frequently a dua as it was narrated by Anas bin Malik (RA) and Ummae Salma (RA)
يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ
"O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion!” [Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2140]
They asked: “O Messenger of Allah (SAW), why do you supplicate this so frequently. He said: "Verily, there is no human being except that his heart is between Two Fingers of the Fingers of Allah, so whomsoever He wills He makes steadfast, and whomever He wills He causes to deviate.’”
Indeed the Messenger (SAW) said, ‘O You who make the steadfast firm, make me firm with Your firmness! O You whose oneness is unchanging, for there is no god except You, Glorified are You! Truly I have been among the wrongdoers.’ He would also say: ‘O Lord and Protector (walī) of Islam and its people, make me firm in Islam until I encounter You!’ [Sahl] said [on this matter], ‘The place of faith in God, Exalted is He, is the heart and the place of Islam is the breast, and it is subject to increase and decrease.’ [Tafsir - Sahl al-Tustari]
No one is safe from misguidance. So remember to constantly ask Allah to keep you on the straight path.
Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
"Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate Lord as one heart. He turns that to any (direction) He likes. Then Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) said: 0 Allah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience.[Sahih Muslim, 2655]
Nothing is beyond the Lord of the Worlds.The Almighty can change things in the blink of an eye. He can heal what has been hurting for years in a flash. He can forgive as He wills.
الحمدلله
