Oh Turner of the Hearts keep our Hearts firm on Your Religion
Oh Turner of the Hearts keep our Hearts firm on Your Religion
Salih Luhaydan mentioned a nice benefit during his class tonight at the Haram in Makkah(7/2/2009). He mentioned that, ” If you come across someone performing an innovation, remember to praise Allah, the Most high. Remember to praise Allah, the Most High, because he hasn’t tested you with that innovation. “
He also mentioned that, “No one is safe from misguidance. So remember to constantly ask Allah to keep you on the straight path.”
A du’aa that he mentioned pertaining to this is:
يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ
Yaa Muqallibal Quloob Thabbit Qalbee ‘alaa Deenik.
“Oh turner of the hearts (Allah, the Most High), keep our hearts firm on your religion“
[Authenticated by al-Albanee in al-Jaam'i as-Sagheer 1323/7988]

If Allaah wills, He can seal the heart from guidance. Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin al-‘Aas said, that he heard Allaah’s Messenger saying, “All the hearts of the offspring of Aadam are between two fingers of Ar-Rehman’s Fingers, as one heart. He turns it (in any direction) as He wills. Then Allaah’s Messenger said, “O Allaah! The Turner of the hearts, turn our heart towards Your obedience.” [Saheeh Muslim vol.4, p.1397, no.6418]
The Importance of supplicating for steadfastness, and uprightness in the religion upto the end of one’s life.
Indeed the Prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) used to do so, and taught us to do so, as in the hadeeth of Umm Salamah by Shihr who said : ‘I said to Umm Salamah : ‘O Mother of the Believers, what is the duaa’ which the Prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) would supplicate the most while in your presence? ’
So she said : ‘The frequent supplication of his was :
يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ
“O, Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Your obedience.”
And also reported by Imaam Ahmad , from the hadeeth of ‘Aisha (radhiyaAllaahu anha): ‘The Dua’ which the Prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) used to supplicate with a lot…’ then she mentioned it.

Assalaamu alaikum. Jazaakallaahu khayr for the post. Please let me know if I can repost it in my blog spot.

Masha Allaah… When is this du3aa to be said?
this is very good!
Well, the Arabic says “Thab-bit Qalbee ‘ala Deenik”, which means “make my heart firm upon your deen”, and that’s the way it’s translated at the beginning of the post, but at the latter part of the post it’s translated as “turn our hearts to Your obedience,” (which is why I guessed it’s a mere typo), which is most likely a translation of “ya muqallib al quloob, qallib quloobana ila taa’tik.” Allaahu A’lam. You see now?
Mashaa Allaah I’ve been reading this blog for a while and I think it’s great! Just wanted to point out that the translation of the du’aa narrated by Umm Salamah is not accurate. Probably just a typo on the part of the poster, but in any case just wanted to point that out inshaa Allaah. Barak Allaah feekum.
Deear Sister, assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah
can you please point where is the mistake and what is correct?
