January's Du'aa'
The du'aa of the month of January is:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى
Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda, wat-tuqa, wal-`afafa, wal-ghina
"Oh Allah, I pray to You for guidance, piety, the ability to desert misconduct & ill-thoughts, and sufficiency (or contentment)"
Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3489
In-book reference : Book 48, Hadith 120
The Character Trait for this month is Leadership. The four attributes that we ask Allah for in this du'aa are very important elements in fostering a leader. A leader should ask Allah for guidance, piety, abandoning what's less virtuous, and most importantly to completely rely on Allah to achieve the ultimate sense of contentment (al ghina).
I hope you can play a role in encouraging your children understand and practice this du'aa.
MashaAllah many of the students in sk1 memorized the dua'a. Way to go SK1.
Islamic Studies:
We are learning about the life and sayings of rasulullah prophet Mohammed (pbuh). SK1 are learning a new nasheed about prophet Muhammad(pbuh). Please ask your child about it.
Jazakumullahu-khaira for your co-operation and support!
