One of the reasons for the most likely answer to dua
? It is reported that Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said:“The prayer of Zu-n-Nun ( Yunus ), when he was in the belly of a fish, was:
‘There is no deity worthy of worship, except You! You are pure! Verily, I was one of the wicked ‘, and verily, if any Muslim asks Allah through this prayer, Allah will surely answer him. “لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَLa ilaha illa Anta! Subhanaka, inni kuntu mina-z-zalimin- There is no deity worthy of worship but You! You are pure! Indeed, I was one of the wicked (al-Anbiya, 21:87). ?at-Tirmidhi 3505, See Sahih al-Jami ‘as-saghir 3383.
Sheikh ‘Abdur-Razzak al-Badr may Allah bless him, said: “It has come in the reliable Sunnah that this dua is great in position and blessed, and in whatever matter a Muslim turns to this dua, Allah will certainly answer him.” ? See Fiqh al-adyyati wal-azkar, 1 / 380-384.
Sheikhul-Islyam ibn Taymiyyah said : “ It was in this way that he called out through one of the greatest prayers, if not the greatest, Iunus, peace be upon him. His prayer contains recognition of the unity of Allah Almighty, awareness of sins and mistakes, injustice towards oneself. ” See Majmu’ul-Fatawa, 10 / 237-336.
