Most Comprehensive Du' aa
O Allah, I beg You the good which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ begged of You; and I seek refuge in You from the evil where from Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought refuge. You are the One from Whom help is sought and Yours is the responsibility to communicate (the truth). There is no power or strength except with Allah the Exalted, the Great Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Rasûlullah ﷺ made many supplications which we did not memorize. We said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! You have made many supplications of which we do not remember anything " He said, "Shall tell you a comprehensive prayer? Say: (above dua)"
[Riyad as-Salihin 1492]

Dear Muslima
In the frighte re showcasing oneself for the whole world to gaze upon has become the new normal, it is now the time for us to constantly remind ourselves why our deen is most perfect and express extreme gratitude to Allah Ta’ala for granting us Imaan and blessing us with this most perfect deen which has the most perfect laws. Without a doubt, Allah Ta’aala loves us immensely despite our infinite sins and shortcomings, the love of Allah Ta’ala is truly something which you and I cannot comprehend. He loves us and sees us trying, He knows our intentions and what we wish to do despite being so feeble. It’s important for you and I to remember that Allah Ta’ala loves us so much and He does not wish to make things difficult for us, rather out of His extreme divine love and unmeasurable mercy, He wants us to always be safe from the harms of this world and from the harms which we could bring upon ourselves. He only wants the best for us. He says in Surah Ahzaab: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful”. As the servants of Ar-Rahman, we can only find happiness in this world when we fully submit ourselves to the commands of Allah Ta’ala He commanded us to conceal ourselves from the dangers of the outside world, the evil glances, and the harms of society, so naturally when we conceal ourselves, we will feel our happiest. How extremely fortunate we are to have something like the Niqaab, which reminds us of who we really are, servants of Allah, submitting to the commands of our Loving Creator, Alhamdulillah. It is completely understandable that when one thinks about wearing niqaab, a million questions come to ones mind as well as Shaytaan’s whispers which tries to turn your heart off the idea, but my Dearest Muslimah, I want you to know that when you do something for the pleasure of Allah , He makes that thing so easy for us, Subhan’Allah. How true is it that a Muslimah is treated like a rare gem, not showcased for the whole world to see and let their eyes on, but rather concealed from the world and all it’s evils. To conceal yourself for the pleasure of Allah is not only the most rewarding feeling but also the best
