And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

[Al Ambiyaa, #87]

Words of Wisdom

The Quran and Sunnah give us guidance for every aspect of our lives. One of the best ways to have our dua accepted is to use the dua of Yunus . This is a beautiful supplication in which a person acknowledges Allah's greatness and their weakness. This is an amazing dua because it answers every dua and removes every hardship. May Allah guide us towards every good and away from every evil. Ameen

Hadeeth of the Day

Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Sa'd narrated from his father, from Sa'd, that the Messenger of Allah () said:

"The supplication of Dhun-Nun (Prophet Yunus) when he supplicated, while in the belly of the whale was: 'There is none worthy of worship except You, Glory to You, Indeed, I have been of the transgressors. (L ilha ill anta subnaka inn kuntu mina-limn)' So indeed, no Muslim man supplicates with it for anything, ever, except Allah responds to him." (Al-Tirmidhi)
