A Handbook of Accepted Prayers
Description
About The Book
Are your duas not being accepted? Unhealthy addictions and depression are widespread: some of us find the uncertainty and emotional darkness eating away at us. 700 years ago, a diligent Muslim scholar told of a cost-free universal psychotherapeutic cure, writing: "Happiness comes with sincere du'a." He was Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (RA); his teacher was Ibn Taymiyyah (RA). Riding on the coattails of our pious predecessors, we too seek routes to accepted prayers and eternal reward within the tradition of the Holy Qur'an and authentic ahadith (Prophetic sayings).
This book builds on the debut A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine and isn't simply a compilation of recommended du'as. Instead, it is a carefully considered framework that aligns our emotions with the most beautiful du'as, all of which have a profound constructive purpose: the aim is to transport us smilingly and with the noblest etiquette towards the ma'arifat (higher knowledge of Allah SWT) and istiqamah (steadfastness) that every Muslim seeks, deep down. This is the perfect Islamic book if you want your du'as to become accepted.
This book includes:
– 'The Du'a' Framework: the what, the why, the when and the how of du'a.
– More than 200 of the most beautiful du'a's related to and to help manage each of the 26 spiritual diseases.
– A glossary of more than 100 emotions, as another way for the reader to navigate directly to those du’a’s that will be of most benefit in sha Allah.
– Each du'a is drawn and fully referenced from Qur’anic verses and authentic ahadith.

About the author
Ibn Daud: Ibn Daud is the pen name of Jamal Parekh, a British Muslim author and publisher based in Leicester, England. Of Pakistani heritage and a former IT consultant, he came to writing after a text on the purification of the heart left a deep impression on him, prompting a desire to make that classical wisdom usable for busy modern readers. His best-known work, A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine, became a widely read bestseller. It is a compact, practical guide to tazkiya, the purification of the soul, that names common spiritual ailments of the heart and sets beside each one remedies grounded in the Qurʾan, the Sunna, and the teachings of classical scholars, Imam al-Ghazali foremost among them. The book was designed to be approachable for readers of all ages and backgrounds while keeping its roots firmly in the traditional sources. He followed it with A Handbook of Accepted Prayers, a companion collection of supplications, and with works for younger readers, including a tracing Qurʾan for the thirtieth juzʾ. These titles are published through Ibn Daud Books, the small family-run imprint he founded in Leicester, whose stated aim is to share the message of Islam through carefully made, high-quality books. His writing is valued for its warmth, simplicity, and steady reliance on the Qurʾan and prophetic guidance.
