Join Dr. Mariam Sheibani, Founder of Mar'uf Commons, for a special halaqa exploring the transformative role of dua. We reflect on our personal and collective relationship with dua and examine key theological principles that shape its place in our devotional lives. You will learn how to apply these insights to your own lives, with the goal of cultivating a deeper, more intentional, and renewed relationship with dua.

Some of the questions we will explore include:

• What is the meaning, purpose, and role of dua in a Muslim’s devotional life?
• What does it mean for a dua to be accepted or answered?
• Can a dua go unanswered or be rejected?
• Does dua change Allah’s decree (qadaʾ wa qadar)?

In this insightful halaqah, Dr. Abd Al-Rahman Traboulsi explores the profound concept of mercy, beginning with the divine attributes of Allah as Ar-Rahman (The Entirely Merciful) and Ar-Raheem (The Especially Merciful). The discussion then transitions to how this divine mercy manifested in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Dr. Traboulsi highlights the Prophet’s extraordinary compassion through key historical moments and ahadith, including his forbearance toward the people of Taif despite their hostility and his gentle, nurturing interactions with his companions. This session offers a deep reflection on embodying mercy in our own lives, inspired by the ultimate example of the Prophet (saw).
