O Turner of Hearts يَا مُقَلِّبَ القُلُوبِ

Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya...⬇️

From Abdullaah bin Amr bin Al-Aas –RadhiAllaahu anhu – that he heard the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- saying:

‘Indeed all the hearts of the sons of Adam are between the two Fingers from the Fingers of Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Merciful) like one heart, He turns it whichever way He wants.’

Then the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:

مُصَرِّفَ الْقُلُوبِ صَرِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ

‘O Turner of hearts, turn our hearts to Your Obedience.’

[Collected by Muslim]

Shaykh AbdurRazzaq bin AbdulMuhsin al-Badr -HafidhAllaahu- said:

‘The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- explained the strong call to this Dua ‘O Turner of hearts, turn our hearts to Your obedience’ and the obligation to have concern for it and to say it a lot, because of what he said before it: ‘Indeed all the hearts of the sons of Adam are between the two Fingers from the Fingers of Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Merciful) like one heart, He turns it whichever way He wants.

What is also similar to this is in the hadeeth of Anas – RadhiAllaahu anhu – who said: ‘the Messenger of Allaah used to say a lot:

يَا مُقَلِّبَ القُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِك

‘O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your Deen.’

I said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, we have believed in you and with what you have, so do you fear for us?’

He -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– replied:

‘Yes, Indeed the hearts are between the two Fingers from the Fingers of Allaah, He turns them whichever way He wants.’

[Collected by Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah & authenticated by al-Albaani in ‘Saheeh Sunnan Tirmidhi’ 2/444]

Likewise, from the hadeeth of Aeysha –RadhiAllaahu anha – who said: ‘From the Dua that the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- used to supplicate a lot with was:

يَا مُقَلِّبَ القُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِك

‘O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your Deen.’

She said, I asked: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, you supplicate a lot with this Dua?’

He replied: ‘Indeed the heart of a person is between the two Fingers from the Fingers of Allaah Azza wa Jal, if He wants He will cause it to go astray and if He wants He makes it steadfast.’

[Collected by Ahmed & authenticated by Al-Albaani with supporting narrations in Saheehah no. 2091]

Al-Bagawi -Rahimuhullaah- said:

‘This hadeeth is an explanation that the worshipper has no authority over himself in regards to the matter of his happiness or wretchedness. In fact, if he is guided then it is because Allaah guided him. If he is firm upon Eemaan then it is because Allaah made him firm upon it. If he is misguided then it is because he turned away from guidance.

Allaah -Subhanahu wa Ta’ala- said:

<< Nay, but Allaah has conferred a favour upon you, that He has guided you to the Faith >> [Hujaraat: 17]

Allaah -Subhanahu wa Ta’ala- said about the praise the people of Paradise send:

<<“All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Who has guided us to this, never could we have found guidance, were it not that Allaah had guided us! >> [Al A’raf: 43]

Allaah Azza wa Jal said:

<< Allaah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allaah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter. >>

[Ibrahim: 27]

It becomes clear from this that Allaah Ta’ala is the One who is in command of the hearts of His slaves, He turns them as He wants. There is nothing at all that which can refrain Him from that, nothing can escape what He wants, Allaah does not give the responsibility of the hearts to anyone from His creation.

It is upon the slave of Allaah to seek refuge and turn to Allaah Ta’ala and to say this Dua a lot, just as the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-used to say this Dua a lot.

This Dua is a notification for the Ummah that if a purified soul [that of the Prophet] is in need of seeking refuge and turning to Allaah -Subhanahu- to make his heart firm then how about the matter of the person who is lesser than him, all of the slaves are lesser than him [the Prophet].

How great is the need of the Muslim in that Allaah makes him firm upon His upright and true Deen, which is the means for success, prosperity and a prevention from sins and its calamities.

Allaah says:

<< Allaah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allaah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter. And Allaah will cause to go astray those who are Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allaah does what He wills. >> [Ibraheem: 27]

Along with all this the worshipper is in need of making beneficial efforts and to follow righteous paths to obtain the pleasure of Allaah, His guidance and for Allaah to give him success.

<< While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance, and bestows on them their piety.>> [Muhammad: 17]

The Prophet’s Dua For His Companions

From Ibn Umar who said it was very rare that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] would stand up from a gathering until he had made Dua with these statements for his Companions:

«اللَّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ مَعَاصِيكَ، وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ، وَمِنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مُصِيبَاتِ الدُّنْيَا، وَمَتِّعْنَا بِأَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُوَّتِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا، وَاجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنَّا، وَاجْعَلْ ثَأْرَنَا عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا، وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانَا، وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا، وَلَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا، وَلَا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا، وَلَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُنَا.»

❝O Allaah make us have fear of You of what comes between us and disobedience to You. And from obedience to You with that which will make us reach Paradise. And give us certainty by which weakens the problems/hardships of the Duniya and makes them light upon us.

And bless us in our hearing and our sight,

And our strength as long as you give us life.

And make it continuous until the end of our lives. And make our hatred upon the one who oppressed us. And give us victory upon the one who has enmity to us. And do not place our calamities in our religion, and do not make the worldly matters our greatest concern, nor the aim of our knowledge, and do not place over us the one who does not have mercy upon us.❞

[Declared Hasan By Tirmidhi In Kitab Ad-Dawaat, Chapter Haddathna Ali Bin Hajr, (No. 3502), Nisa’ee In al- Kubra, (6/106), Al-Hakim, (1/528) | Ibn Sunni In Amal al-Yawm Wa Layla, (No. 445), He Authenticated It And Dhahabi Agreed With Him | Albaani: 'Hasan' In Saheeh Tirmidhi, (3/168), Saheeh al-Jama, (No. 1268) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Shaykh AbdurRazaaq al-Badr said:

❝From the great supplications which the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] used to conclude many of his gatherings with, is what is narrated by Tirmidhi and others from the Hadeeth of Abdullaah Bin Umar [رضي الله عنه].

It is a comprehensive supplication for many of the doors to goodness and happiness in the Duniya and Hereafter.

As for the Messenger saying:

«اللَّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ مَعَاصِيكَ»

'O Allaah make us have fear of You of what comes between us and disobedience to You.'

Means: Give us a portion and share of having fear of You. This fear is that what is linked with having greatness of Allaah and knowing Him -far is He from imperfection - which would be a barrier for us and a prevention from falling into disobedience, sins and transgression.

In this is proof that having fear of Allaah is from the greatest deterrents and barriers for a person from falling into sinning.

Allaah says:

‏﴿إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ‏﴾

«It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.»

So every time a slave of Allaah increases his knowing/knowledge about Allaah then his fear of Allaah increases and his turning to His obedience and distancing from sinning against Him increases.

Regarding:

«وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ»

'And from obedience to You with that which will make us reach Paradise.'

Meaning: Make easy for me from obedience to You which will be a means to gain Your pleasure and reach Your Paradise which You have prepared for Your pious worshippers.

Regarding:

«وَمِنَ اليَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مُصِيباتِ الدُّنْيَا»

'And give us certainty by which weakens the problems/hardships of the Duniya.'

Meaning: Give us from certainty, which is perfect knowledge and its completeness is that the command is with Allaah firstly and lastly, and that Allaah - far is He from imperfection - controls the matters of the creation how He wills and executes amongst them what He wants, with that which is a means to lessen problems and calamities which may occur for a person in this life.

Every time certainty strengthens in a person then that is more conducive to having patience upon tribulations. This is due to the person with certainty knowing that everything that afflicts him is from Allaah so he is pleased with that and submits.

Regarding:

«وَمَتِّعْنَا بِأَسْمَاعِنَا، وَأَبْصَارِنَا، وَقُوَّتِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا.»

'And bless us in our hearing and our sight, and our strength as long as you give us life.'

Here a person requests from Allaah that his hearing, sight and the rest of his strength remains, so he can be blessed with these during his whole life.

Regarding:

«واجعَلْه الوارثَ منَّا»

‘And make it continuous until the end of our lives.'

Means that make this blessing and enjoyment of the senses and strength preserved and continuous and let it remain healthy and good until I die.

Regarding:

«واجعل ثأرنا على من ظلمنا»

'Make our hatred upon the one who oppressed us.'

Means give us the capability to take revenge upon the one who oppressed us without overstepping so that we end up taking revenge against other than the oppressor.

Regarding:

«وانصرنا على من عادانا»

'And give us victory upon the one who has enmity to us.'

Meaning: Write victory for us over the enemy.

Regarding:

«ولا تجعل مصيبتنا في ديننا»

'And do not place our calamities in our religion.'

Meaning: Do not afflict us with that which causes deficiency in our Deen and that which takes us to a bad belief or deficiencies in obedience or committing Haram actions. This is because a calamity in the religion is the worst of calamities and there is nothing that can substitute for it, in contrast to calamities in the Duniya.

Regarding:

«ولا تجعل الدنيا أكبر همِّنا.»

'And do not make the worldly matters our greatest concern.'

Meaning that do not make our main aim and our main concern to be for the Duniya.

This is because for whoever the Duniya is the greatest aim then he is isolated from the Hereafter. In this is a proof that a little stress is bound to occur in matters of living, it is inevitable and permissible.

«ولا مبلغ علمنا»

Regarding: 'Nor the aim of our knowledge.'

Meaning: Do not make us whereby that all we know and think about is the matters of the Duniya.

«ولا تسلِّط علينا من لا يرحمنا»

Regarding: 'Do not place over us the one who does not have mercy upon us.'

Meaning by the non-Muslims, evil people and oppressors.

By this we end our comments about this great Dua, which is from the Jawama al-Kalim [eloquent speech] of the Prophet [ﷺ], and it is the fragrant ending. May Allaah send praise upon our Prophet upon his family and all his Companions.

[Fiqh al-Adeeyah Wal Adhkaar, (3/306-308) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]
