My New Du`aa’ Category
Â
When I first accepted Islaam, I carried a small du`aa’ book and would try my hardest to memorize as many ad`iyah (supplications) via the transliteration as I could.

I remember I had the phone and kept turning it off because I was dead tired. Suddenly though, our answering machine went off and it was my [...]
