Question:
Assalamu alaykum,
We read khatam ul khwajigan weekly and sometimes there is no-one there to do the dua at the end. Is there a specific dua you have to read at the end? Is it possible you could send me this dua. Please for give me for my lack of respect.
May Allah give Shaykh Nazim long life. May Allah bless you all for all your hardwork.
Jazakallah Khair
Answer:
Salamu Alaikum,
There is no specific duaa that needs to be read at the conclusion of the Khatm al-Khwajagan. Any duaa is acceptable. There are many famous duaas from Quran or Hadith that are available in books or online. Any of these can be recited. Also you can ask Allah from your heart in any language whatever you want or whatever you feel the group needs. For example, mercy, forgiveness, light, knowledge, good deeds, good endings, paradise, protection from hell fire, from shaytan, from Antichrist. You can also ask Allah to grant our Shaykhs health, long life and high spiritual stations. You may ask Allah for health for all present and their families, happiness and success here and hereafter. Any duaa can be read in any language.
And Allah and His Prophet know best.
