There are deep sighs of remorse and sorrow echoed from every corner of the Muslim World. Frustration and anger at the attitude and behaviour of so-called “Islamic states” has only added fuel to the already blazing fire. No matter what we do and how much we speak, Allah Ta’ala is fully aware of the plight and condition of every soul. Everything happens only with His permission and will.

In every crisis RasulAllah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)'s total effort and focus was directed towards dua. The most glaring example was during the battle of Badr, when RasulAllah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) spent the entire night in fervent dua until the Sahaba (radiAllahu anhum) had to stop him. Dua is certainly the most lethal weapon we have and no crisis or catastrophe should deter us a single degree from this course. The benefits of dua are innumerable and its effects and fruits will be seen in the Hereafter also. However, acceptance of dua is dependant on two crucial aspects viz. pure halal sustenance and total unconditional abstention from sin.
