The command to start dua by saying "Allahumma Ameen"


Question

Is it abid to start the prayer with "Allahumma Amin" and say "La ilaha illallahu muhammadur mp end"?


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

No, it is not heresy. However, it is bad faith to consider it essential. However, the Sunnah method of making dua is, as described in the hadith - فضالة بن عبيد يقول : سمع النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم—-إذا صلى أحدكم فليبدأ بتحميد الله والثناء عليه ثم ليصل على النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم ثم ليدع بعد بما يشاء • Fazlata bin Ubaid says: Hear the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. Ubayd RA said, the Prophet (PBUH) said: When one of you makes dua, he should first recite the praises of Allah, then bless the Prophet (PBUH), then ask for whatever he wants.
