Prayers of the Pious by Omar Suleiman

DESCRIPTION:

Thirty short prayers taken from the Prophet Muhammad and his pious predecessors, brought together by an American Muslim making a difference, Omar Suleiman. Few people call out to Allah anymore. We have forgotten what it is to have a personal conversation with God, and how simple it is. Allah doesn't care if it rhymes, or how it sounds, or even in what language you call out to Him. What's important is how sincere it is.

Imam Ahmad was once asked, "what is the distance between us and the throne of God?" "A pious prayer from a pure heart" was his reply, that's how we connect to Allah. Through reading the personal prayers of the Companions of the Prophet, this book will remind you how to speak with Allah in the same way they did. How to call upon the Creator the same way they called upon Him. And by using the dua journal you can start a conversation with Allah, following in the footsteps of the pious predecessors.

"In this concise work; Sh. Omar Suleiman has collected many precious gems from the du`as of the righteous. The reader cannot help but get swept away in the spiritual earnestness that these beseechers felt. Animated by these timeless invocations; I pray that all of us can not only use these classical prayers ourselves; but be inspired to produce our own, from the depths of our hearts, so that our du`as, too; can be heard by the Almighty." - Yasir Qadhi
