The Status of Supplication (Du’a)

Ayt. Behjat believes that du’a has a very great status and insists that du’a governs the outcome of every stage of our lives. Ustad Hadawi relates:  

“My daughter was very ill and I came to Ayt. Behjat and asked him to pray for her.  He told me, “You yourself recite the following du’a three times every day:  

“Allahumma ishfiha bi shifaa-ika, wa daawiha bi dawaa-ika, wa ‘aafiha bi ‘aafiyatik” 

“O Allah, cure her with Your cure, and treat her with Your medicine, and restore her health with Your strength”.  

Then, after the third time say: 

“Bi’l Imami’l-Kazim (A.S.), fa innaha amatuka wa bintu ‘abdik”. 

“By the sake of Imam al-Kazim (A.S.), for she is your servant, and the daughter of your servant.”
