⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ 🌻 *_The “Why” Is As Important As The “How”_* 🌻 The Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) of making du’a is to lower one’s head and face one’s palms upwards, however in times of extreme distress, the Prophet ﷺ would raise his hands to the sky, as described in the Battle of Badr. Another occasion in which the Prophet ﷺ felt extreme distress was when requesting Allah to change the qiblah (the direction of prayer). The direction of prayer (qiblah) was Jerusalem, as it was with previous Abrahamic Prophets. In Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ would always situate himself in a position where he was facing the Ka’bah but with Jerusalem behind it. However, in Medina, facing Jerusalem would entail turning one’s back towards Mecca and thus the Ka’bah. The Prophet ﷺ grew increasingly uneasy with turning his back towards the Kaʿbah, so he ﷺ started making du’a to Allah to change the qiblah to Mecca. It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ even expressed his hope to Jibril عليه السلام, to which Jibril عليه السلام replied, “I am merely a slave like you.” The most blessed human ﷺ asked the most blessed Angel عليه السلام for assistance, yet their subservience was to Allah alone. The Prophet ﷺ then continued to make du’a earnestly throughout the day. He ﷺ raised his hands high and face towards the heavens. There were no witnesses, as the Prophet ﷺ did so in the dead of the night, but Allah attested to it, revealing, “Indeed, We see you turning your face towards the heaven.” The cause of the Prophet’s distress is quite noteworthy: while we usually suffer due to worldly matters, the Prophet ﷺ was pained at turning his back towards the qiblah, so much so that he prayed as profusely as he did when his life was under threat at Badr. The “why” is certainly connected to the “how”, and the Prophet’s deep concern for Allah’s din is inextricably linked to his response to hardship and stress.

⚜️🤎 Send lots of Salawat upon the Prophet 🤎⚜️ Sending ṣalāwat upon the Prophet ﷺ on Friday is better than on the rest of the days, and its night (Thursday night) is the best of nights.
