Dear Brother, Assalaamoalaikum If the action is not CLEARLY / EXPLICITLY mentioned in the Holy Qur'an and Hadiths, then if an action is for the dhikr of Allah(SWT), then it is a recommended action, for one is expected to stay in the dhikr of Allah(SWT) as much as possible. This is understood and requires no specific verse or hadith. Allah(SWT) Invites us to establish regular prayers. Did He say how? I wrote: In the Holy Qur'an, Allah(SWT) Mentions that He Has Beautiful Names. However, He Does not Say that we have to recite these beautiful names. Is it wrong to recite Allah(SWT) Beautiful Names? and you replied: Did the Holy Messenger(SAW) explain everything? I know many believe that he explained everything that had to be explained - unfortunately that's not so. For example, SAHIH BUKHARI - BOOK OF BELIEF Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya (This term "Haya" covers a large number of concepts which are to be taken together; amongst them are self respect, modesty, bashfulness, and scruple, etc.) is a part of faith." Is there any hadith that gives us the explanation of the Holy Messenger(SAW) regarding the sixty branches of faith he mentioned in the above hadith? I have on several occasions asked the question: Why did the Holy messenger(SAW) not do such and such an action? There has been no reply to date, but the same questions are asked over and over again. There is no need for any hadith related specifically to this du'a. As the Holy Messenger said: So, if the reading of the du'a is for the pleasure of Allah(SWT), then he / she who reads the du'a will get the reward, Insh'Allah. So long as there is no shirk in one's action and that action is done in the remembrance of Allah(SWT) and for His pleasure, then there is nothing wrong in that action. Dear Brother, do read less and meditate more on what you have read. This is a brother's advice. Brotherly yours farook
