:: Post No. 15: Invoking Spiritual and Luminous Bounties from the Root Word Rabb (*R B B) ::

Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts.
Part 1. Knowledge Section
In this enlightenment post, I would like to present ten Qur'anic ayats of supplication from the root word Rabb (*R B B) which invoke great spiritual and luminous bounties. The purpose of presenting these ayats is to create awareness of how to set priorities and ask for the bestowal of gifts which are vital to our prosperity in this world and in the hereafter.
Allah has given clear instructions for setting our agenda for the time which is allocated to us in this world so let us really focus and reset priorities in context of the firman of Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam made in Mumbai on September 27, 1973 where he said:
"...that so long as you are alive, every day is a day that must be lived, and in that day you must fulfil your responsibilities to the best of your ability. So do not let time pass without being aware that once it has passed, it is gone for ever. This is something you should all keep in mind." |
