Allahumma Baid Baini Dua

Today, I want to share with you a beautiful dua that holds so much significance in our spiritual journey. It’s called “Allahumma baid baini wa baina khatayaya kama baida’ta bainal-mashriqi wal-maghrib”

Allahumma Baid Baini Dua

There is a hadith,

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to keep silent – between the opening Takbir of the prayer and the recitation of the Qur’an – for a short while. Then, I asked him (about that) and he replied, “I say, ‘O Allah! Keep me apart from my sins (faults) as you have kept apart the east and west. O Allah clean me from my sins as a white garment is cleaned from dirt. O Allah wash me of my sins with water, snow and hail.” [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ : { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-إِذَا كَبَّرَ لِلصَّلَاةِ سَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً , قَبْلِ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ , فَسَأَلْتُهُ , فَقَالَ : “أَقُولُ : اَللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ اَلْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ , اَللَّهُمَّ نقِّنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا يُنَقَّى اَلثَّوْبُ اَلْأَبْيَضُ مِنْ اَلدَّنَسِ , اَللَّهُمَّ اِغْسِلْنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ ¹‏

Longer Allahumma Baid Baini Dua

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:”The Messenger of Allah [SAW] often used to say these words in his supplication:

‘Allahumma, inni a’udhu bika min fitnatin-nari, wa ‘adhabin-nari, wa fitnatil-qabri, wa ‘adhabil-qabr, wa sharri fitnatil masihid-dajjal, wa sharri fitnatil-faqri, wa sharri fitnatil-ghina. Allahummaghsil khatayaya bima’ith-thalji wal-baradi wa anqi qalbi minal-khataya kama anqaitath-thawbal-abyada min ad-danasi, wa ba’id baini wa baina khatayaya kama ba’adta bainal-mashriqi wal-maghrib. Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min al-kasali wal harami, wal ma’thami wal-maghram

(O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the tribulation of the Fire and the torment of the Fire, from the tribulation of the grave and the torment of the grave, from the evil of the tribulation of the Al-Masihid-Dajjal, from the evil of the tribulation of poverty and from the evil of the tribulation of richness.

O Allah, wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all the sins as you would cleanse white garment from the filth, and put a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, old age, sin and debt.)'”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَثِيرًا مَا يَدْعُو بِهَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ ‏ “‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ وَفِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَأَنْقِ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا أَنْقَيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Allahumma Baid Baini Dua Reflection

This dua is like that heart-to-heart conversation with the Almighty.

First off, it’s all about seeking forgiveness. We all make mistakes, right? It’s part of being human. But what’s important is acknowledging those slip-ups and asking for forgiveness.

Now, let’s talk about why we should read this dua often. Think of it as a daily check-in with yourself and with Allah. Just like we brush our teeth every day to keep them clean, reciting this dua regularly helps keep our spiritual selves clean and pure.

By asking Allah to separate us from our sins, we’re not only seeking forgiveness but also renewing our intentions to do better. It’s a reminder that no matter how far we may have strayed, Allah’s mercy is always there, ready to welcome us back with open arms.

Plus, it’s a great way to cultivate humility and gratitude. When we recognize our own shortcomings and ask for forgiveness, it brings us closer to Allah. And the more we strengthen our connection with Him, the more at peace we feel within ourselves.

So, my friends, let’s make it a habit to recite this beautiful dua often. Let’s turn to Allah with sincerity, seeking forgiveness, and renewing our commitment to live our best lives. Because when we do that, we’re not just cleansing our hearts – we’re nourishing our souls.

Remember, Allah’s mercy knows no bounds. So, let’s embrace it, let’s cherish it, and let’s keep striving to be the best versions of ourselves.
