Value of Duaa

The Prophet Muhammad (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) said:

“Du`a (supplication) is worship.”

Abu Dawud.
...
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta ‘ala) says:

7:55

Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.

Urdu

(لوگو) اپنے پروردگار سے عاجزی سے اور چپکے چپکے دعائیں مانگا کرو۔ وہ حد سے بڑھنے والوں کو دوست نہیں رکھتا

Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta ‘ala) says:

“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near to them . I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me .” So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.

2:186

Urdu

اور (اے پیغمبر) جب تم سے میرے بندے میرے بارے میں دریافت کریں تو (کہہ دو کہ) میں تو (تمہارے) پاس ہوں جب کوئی پکارنے والا مجھے پکارتا ہے تو میں اس کی دعا قبول کرتا ہوں تو ان کو چاہیئے کہ میرے حکموں کو مانیں اور مجھ پر ایمان لائیں تاکہ نیک رستہ پائیں

وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ الْغَافِلِينَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ وَلَهُ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

7:205-206

And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.

Urdu

اور اپنے پروردگار کو دل ہی دل میں عاجزی اور خوف سے اور پست آواز سے صبح وشام یاد کرتے رہو اور (دیکھنا) غافل نہ ہونا جو لوگ تمہارے پروردگار کے پاس ہیں وہ اس کی عبادت سے گردن کشی نہیں کرتے اور اس پاک ذات کو یاد کرتے اور اس کے آگے سجدے کرتے رہتے ہیں 

Alcohol Prohabitid in Islam

   

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Allah has cursed wine, and whoever drinks it, whoever pours it, whoever sells it, whoever buys it, whoever presses (distils) it for another, whoever presses it for himself, whoever carries (transports) it, whoever accepts its delivery, or whoever eats (benefits from) its price (sale).”

 

 [Abu Dawud, Al-Hakim]

It is important to note that it isn’t just the drinking of alcohol that is haram. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala), in His Infinite Wisdom, cuts off evil at its roots. Hence all those have been warned of destruction who play any role in the spread of this social evil:
...
1. The drinker of alcohol.
2. The one who pours it out for another to drink.
3. The one who sells it.
4. The one who purchases it, regardless of who it is for.
5. The one who is involved in its production.
6. The one who is involved in the transportation of alcoholic beverages.
7. The one who receives the delivery of it.
8. The one who benefits financially from the sale of alcohol.

The punishment for drinking alcohol in the time of the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) was 40 lashes. Other ahadith make it clear that all intoxicants are forbidden, it is not only alcohol that is haraam. Furthermore, whatever intoxicates in a large amount, is forbidden to be consumed in the smallest amount as well.
