The power of dua : A Mother’s Ramadan Miracle

The power of dua is Islam’s most blessed emotion. It is the bond between a Muslim and Allah (SWT), in which you can  request direction, beg for pardon, and pray for blessings. The most heartbreaking expression of such godly bonding is a mother’s du’a.  A mother’s prayer is highly effective, as long as she prays for her son or daughter in sincerity. With the holy month of blessings (ramadan) and mercy from Allah, Ramadan, Du’a strengthens. This article describes how crucial Du’a is,  and the effect of a mother’s prayer, and a miraculous Ramadan experience that depicts the power of genuine supplication.

Understanding the Power of Du’a

Du’a is the weapon of a believer; it is not just an act of worship in Islam but a powerful means of connecting with Allah.The power  of Du’a is that it is sincere, frequent, and convinced that Allah (SWT) will fulfill it.

Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then verily I am near. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls upon Me.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186)

A Mother’s Prayers: The Most Sincere Du’a

Among all the Du’as, the mother’s Du’a for her kids is the most effective. Islam is very concerned about prayer by parents. A mother’s love is sincere, and her Du’a is an outcome of sheer sincerity.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

“Three supplications are never turned down: the supplication of a father for his child, the supplication of a fasting person, and the supplication of an oppressed person.” (Tirmidhi 1905)

This hadith states that one du’a from a parent is one which Allah (SWT) will never turn down. When a mother performs du’a by lifting her hands up in supplication, particularly in Ramadan, gates of heaven swing open to her du’a.

A Ramadan Miracle: The Power of a Mother’s Du’a

One of the most beautiful Du’a stories is about a prayer made in Ramadan that was answered after a long time.

A mother had been making Du’a for her son, who was away from the path of Islam. She prayed day and night, never losing hope, but felt nothing was happening. But during that specific Ramadan, she prayed more Du’a, getting up every night for Tahajjud and praying honest Du’a.

One night, her son had a dream that he was standing before a radiant light, feeling utterly peaceful. He woke up with an intense desire to turn back to Islam. On the same morning, he prayed Fajr for the first time in forty years. The power of her Ramadan Du’a had softened his heart and welcomed him back into the faith.

It’s a true-life experience that testifies to the indomitable strength of a mother’s Du’a and the grace of Ramadan.
