Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Assalam Alaikum,

This question would be an addendum to the earlier thread about meaning of tashahud.

If possible could anyone (Br. Qiyam / anyone) provide meanings of
1. Allahhumma alaiha aahya...
2. Allahhumma rabbid davat...
3. Vajjhya to Vajjhya...
4. Ruku Tasbeeh...
5. Sujood Tasbeeh...
Subhana Rabbeka Rabbil Izzate amma...

Thanks in advance.

Don't mean to offend you. I am posting here what Duaa Prophet SAW is reported to have said i his prayers. Here is one he said in:

Ruku-Bowing

In Ruku one reads at least 3 Times:

Subhana Rab-bi yal azeem (Glory to my Lord who is the very greatest)

It has been reported in Bukhari and Muslim that the Messenger of Allah SAW mostly read the following Duaa in his Ruku and Sajdah:

Subhana Kalla Humma Rab-bana wabihamdika
Allah huma maghfirlee
(Glory be to you, oh our Lord, and all praise be to you
Oh Allah, forgive me)

It is reported by Ali RA that the Messenger of Allah used to read the following Duaa in Ruku: (Ahmed, Muslim, Abu Dawud etc.)

Allah humma Laka Rakatu (
Wabika amatu
Walaka aslamtu
Anta rab-bi khashia samee
Wabasree wa much-khee wa azmee’wa asabee wa masta qal-lat
Bihee qada mav-ya lil-lahi
Rab-bi aalameen

Means: Oh my Lord, I bowed to you and I believed in you and submitted to you. You are my Lord. My ear, my sight, my brain, my bones, my tendons and whatever has been carried by my feet is submitted for the Lord of the worlds.

I will post one he said in Sujud later:

Sajada

In Sajada one must recite at least 3 times

Subhana Rabbi yal aala
(O Allah, glory be to you, the most high)

Other Duaa in Sajdah

Ali RA reported that Prophet SAW used to say following in Sajdah:

Allahumma Laka Sajadty, wabika amantu
Walaka aslamtu,
Sajada wajhia lillazikhalagahu,
Wasaw-warahu fa ahsana suwarahu,
Fashak-qa samahu wabasarahu
Fatabara kal-lahu ahsanul khaliqeen

(Ahmed, Muslim)

Meaning: “Oh Allah, for you I have prostrated, and in you I have faith, and unto you I have submitted, my forehead has prostrated in front of one who created it and gave shape to it and made it perfectly. Then he gave power of hearing and sight and blessed is Allah’s name who is perfect creator.”

Abu Hurairah reported the following Duaa:

Allah Hum maghfirlee Zanbee kul-lahu diq-qahu,
Wa jil-lahu wa as-walahu wa akhirahu,
Wa aalaniy-yatahu wa sir-rahu

(Muslim, Abu Dawud, Hakim)

Meaning:

Oh Allah forgive all my sins, minor ones and major ones.
Ones I committed previously and
Ones I commit in the future.
Ones I commit openly
And ones I commit secretly.

There other Duaas Prophet used to say which are listed in Authentic Hadit Books.

.

Hc,
Salaams.

There is a good booklet, as a startup, that gives the meanings of all these duas (& more) in english. The book is "The 5 daily Prayers". The cost in Canada is $5.00 + pp.

If you want more details, email me & I will forward you the details on its purchase.

Also, another book "The Way of Our Life" gives good english explanations of some of the (other) duaas from the Pillars of Islam.

While we're at it, can anyone offer a translation of "wa zaifuna"?

salaam
