Best times to make Dua is when it rains

by Posted in All Q&A, Ethics and Mysticism Tagged , , , ,

Question 164: I’ve heard hadiths that when it rains that it’s the best time to make duaa because Allah swt has bestowed his mercy on mankind and the sky is open as well. Is that the same for when it snows? So, is that true that one of the Best times to make Dua is when it rains?

Answer 164: Dua or supplication is a relationship out of need between the servant and his lord, for worldly and otherworldly needs. Just like every other phenomenon, the answering of one’s supplication has conditions and formalities that when met and observed, will result in the answering of the dua, and in the case of the dua lacking them, or in the case of other barriers not allowing the dua to be answered that we aren’t aware of, even the best duas known for being answered quickly and certainly can be ineffective.

Rest, Rain and Snow in the Heaven

by Posted in All Q&A, Theology Tagged , , , , , ,

Question 325: 1) Does it rain in heaven? 2) May we can rest in heaven?

Answer 325: A 1: According to the Holy Quran, the answer to your question is yes. There you will have all that you desire such as rain, snow and etc. and there are other blissful things with Allah, the Almighty which we have no knowledge of. This means that Allah (SW) will grant us anything even more than we deserve. In the Holy Quran Allah (SWT) says: “There they will have whatever they wish, and with Us there is yet more.”

The Arabic version of this verse is as follows:
لَهُمْ ما يَشاؤُنَ فيها وَ لَدَيْنا مَزيد
Also, there is another verse of the holy Quran in which Allah (SWT) says: “And you shall have therein what your souls desire and you shall have therein what you ask for”.
The Arabic version:
وَ لَكُمْ فيها ما تَشْتَهي‏ أَنْفُسُكُمْ وَ لَكُمْ فيها ما تَدَّعُون‏

A 2: If you want to stop being active for a period of time in order to relax and get back your strength, you need to rest. But, you won’t feel tiered or lose your strength to get it back by resting in the Heaven.
In the Holy Quran Allah (SWT) says in this regards: “Abiding therein; they shall not desire removal from them”. So, we won’t get bored in the Heaven, but in the World. Because, Life of the world is only a (passing) enjoyment, and surely the hereafter is the abode to settle.
If we ourselves want to rest in the Heaven we would be able to, but it doesn’t mean that we get bored or lose our strength in order to get it back by.
