About the book:

• The great muhaddith, Mulla Ali Al Qari (rahimahu allah) excellently compiled the Duas mentioned in the Noble Quran, as well as the Duas and supplications of Ralulullah (ï·º) in this book titled Al Hizbul Azam.
• These include the Duas that Rasulullah (ï·º) made at the Holy Kabah, in the Hateem, the Duas made on the occasion of Hajj, in Mina, Arafah and Muzdalifah, the Duas that he (ï·º) made at the time of Tahajjud and in the different expeditions and battles that took place in the 23 years of his Nubbuwah. Each Dua was divinely inspired by Allah Taala and will remain a balm for ailing hearts till the day of Qiyaamah.
• These Duas are a means of protection for all Muslims against the harms of this world and the next. Rasulullah (ï·º) said, ” Dua itself is Ibaadah” (Tirmidhi). How wonderful would it be to invoke, beg, plead and ask from Allah Taala in the very words of His Rasul (ï·º). Undoubtedly the words of Rasulullah (ï·º) will have its own noor (light) and blessings as compared to making Dua in one's own words.
• This book is excellently divided into seven sections thus making it easier for the reader to recite one section per day.
