Saying “in shaa Allah” instead of “ameen” in dua
Question:
I would like to know the details of why we must end a dua by saying “Ameen” and why we must not end it with “insha'Allah” so that way I can explain this matter to a sister who used to end her adiyaat with “insha'Allah” instead of “Ameen.”
Zaynab El-Kateb:
Saying Ameen after duaa means asking Allah to answer your dua. We do not say, “In Shaa Allah,” because this implicates that we are not desperate for Allah to respond, it does not give the meaning of affirming your needs.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, guided us to affirm the way we ask Allah by showing our dire need to His response, and never to say, “Allah forgive me if you will.”
For example: We need to say, “Allah forgive me, I cannot live without your forgiveness,” and so on.

If Da'wah means neglecting family time, it is we who need Da'wah more than anyone else. Changing the world begins with changing ourselves.
Learn the art of saying NO. If you please everyone around, your personal life will be a complete mess.

This dua is to protect yourself from jinns and shaytans and stop shaytan from giving you waswasah in salah.

Hadith 6: Lawful and Unlawful
An-Nu’man ibn Basheer reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الْحَلَالُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ فَمَنْ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ كَرَاعٍ يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى أَلَا إِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ مَحَارِمُهُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ
Verily, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and he who falls into doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful as the shepherd who pastures near a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is his prohibitions. Verily, in the body there is a piece of flesh which if upright then the entire body is upright, and if corrupt then the entire body is corrupt. No doubt it is the heart.

Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalī ( ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ) :
❝Friendship does not require silence towards a mistake that a friend or brother falls into. Rather he should alert him immediately (about the mistake), such is an actual brother and a friend who is true in his friendship. As for he who remains silent, then indeed he has not recognised the obligatory right upon him towards his Muslim brothers and sisters.❞
