A beautiful duas
"I really liked In The Garden of Remembrance. It was beautifully written and full of heartfelt duas. I even took it with me on the plane during my vacation, and it brought me so much comfort and peace while traveling."
In the Garden of Remembrance is a collection of traditional prayers to brighten your heart, ease your burdens, and bathe you in the fragrance of faith. Adapted from Murad al-Adnani's book of litanies and translated from the Arabic by Ribaat's own Nishat Lal, this sparkling collection features two heartfelt introductions followed by prayers of praise, salawat, forgiveness, protection, and personal need, bookended by salawat again. All this is followed by a section of time-honored prayers and adhkar often recited at Rabata events. (All duas appear in Arabic, English, and transliterated Arabic.)

ا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ، يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ، بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Lā ilāha illal-lāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, yuḥyī wa yumīt, bi yadihil-khayr, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.
There is no God except Allah alone; He has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise. All goodness lies in His hands—He grants life, He causes death, and He possesses mastery over everything.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ طِبِّ الْقُلُوبِ وَدَوَائِهَا وَ عَافِيَةِ اْلاَبْدَانِ وَ شِفَائِهَا وَ نُورِاْلاَبْصَارِ وَ ضِيَائِهَا وَ عَلَى اَلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَ سَلِّمْ
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā sayyidinā Muḥammad, ṭibbil-qulūbi wa dawāʾihā, wa ʿāfiyatil-abdāni wa shifāʾihā, wa nūril-abṣāri wa ḍiyāʾihā, wa ʿalā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallim.
O Allah, bless Sayyidinā Muhammad, the medicine of our hearts and their cure, the health of our bodies and their healing, and the light of our eyes and their illumination.

"Mashallah! The introduction to this book really speaks to the heart. I read it on my flight back from Hajj and wished I had read it before. Take your time reading each paragraph slowly—it helps you reflect on where you may have gone wrong in the past, even with good intentions. It also shows how to expand your deen with insightful, relevant supplications and guidance on making dua. I also love the soft cover, beautiful designs, and the simple, straightforward English format."

"I loooove this book! I fell in love with this book and purchased at least 25 more copies to give to friends when I see the need. My favorite part is the original introduction written by Murad al-'Adnani (translated to English). I read it often and it never ceases to stir me and inspire me. This book is near me every time I pray. It is like a recipe book for making the perfect du'ah, giving the order of which "kind" of du'ah should be made 1st and 2nd, etc...but also gives reference to where we have learned this...beautiful sunnah and the Quran are quoted so eloquently in the forward, the note on du'ah and the intro. All of it is worth reading and re-reading for inspiration masha Allah. It is good to note that all of the du'as are written in 3 forms: Arabic, transilteration and translation! This in itself is an AMAZING blessing. Native Arabic speakers might not realize the huge importance this has to converts as well as perhaps their own teenagers who are growing up in times where they are not immersed organically in all things Islam. While a parent may have grown up in another country and time and with grandparents making du'ah outloud and quoting sunnah as a regular every day habit, so many of our kids are growing up without grandparents in their daily life, and many are swimming in a world that is completely detached from our deen as they attend Western schools. This book is a really special gift for teens...I recommend using it as a mother/child bonding...sort of like that bond you might have had with a grandmother...where you take the time to sit with your child and make du'ah intentionally following the "recipe" in the book and insha Allah finding moments to reminisce moments you learned from your parents or grandparents. ***Make the time*** to create moments that your child will also be able to recall when they are older because our kids are lacking these moments in this day and age. The book in itself is physically beautiful too with is's soft, purple, faux-leather cover embossed with a beautiful design. It literally feels so comforting to hold and touch like a teddy bear! You will come to cherish it and insha Allah so will your child if you include in your time making du'ah together insha Allah. May Allah bless Murad Mujahid al-Ash'ari al-'Adnani for collecting them and bless Sister Nishat Aisha Lal for translating and supplementing the collection for so many more people to benefit from! And may Allah bless everyone at Rabata that contributed to making this book a reality. Masha Allah."

"This book is a Gem. I was looking for something that spoke to my heart and this is the perfect Dua book for that. The Duas for forgiveness will leave you with teary eyes each and every time. The Duas for personal need are worded in such a way that you feel as though you spoke the words yourself with no prompting or text. The translation and English are spot on. This is a tool I am using to get closer to Allah and I absolutely love it."

"MashaAllah! The introduction to this book really speaks to the heart. I read it on my flight back from Hajj and wished I had read it before. I suggest that you really take your time to read each paragraph slowly from the introduction. It will help you contemplate and reflect on where you might have been doing some things improperly in life during the past, even if you had good intentions. It will also show you how to expand your level of Deen for your future iA by providing insightful and relevant daily supplications and how to properly make dua. I also love the soft cover and beautiful designs throughout the book, and the simple and straightforward English format."
