[Reported by Tirmidhi and authenticated by Shaikh Al-Albani] Vocabulary from the Hadith: الشدائد is the plural of شديدة, and it means a tough, difficult situation. الكرب is the plural of كرب, and it means depression, distress. الرخاء means a normal, easy situation Lessons: - Everyone wishes that Allah answers their prayers in tough times. The way to guarantee this is by making plenty of consistent dua in easy times. - Laziness is one thing that deters a person from making dua in easy times. For this, make the dua, "الّلهُمَّ إنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْعَجْزِ وَ الْكَسَلِ" - Oh Allah, I ask your protection from senility and laziness. - Ramadan is one of the most blessed times to make dua in. Allah says in the middle of the ayat of fasting in Ramadan in Surah Al-Baqarah, "And when my slaves ask you about me tell them that surely I'm close: I respond to the dua of the person making dua when he/she makes dua to Me." [2:186] - Some times to make dua are: between the adhan and iqamah, in sujood, after salah, and before iftaar.
