Zikr & Dua

Making dua through the waseelah of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

Q: Can we make Dua with the Waseela of RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), the Prophets and the Auliya? Some people say that we should ask directly from Allah Ta’ala and not make dua with the Waseela of RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), the Prophets and the Auliya. Please provide reference from the Quran and Sunnah.

Zikr and Durood

Q:

1. What's the intention of reciting Allahu Akbar and talbiya? Many times in salah and in other dua's though we do agree the greatness with the heart.

2. What are the wordings of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) when reciting darood? Is it same what we use to recite in salah and other daroods? When Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reciting and sending darood and salam on himself, so the wording may change right? Please clarify.

3. What are the wordings that are used by Allah and Angels when sending darood to Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Can we repeat the same when we are sending?

Reciting durood when hearing the blessed name of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

Q: I had heard that whosoever does not send durood on the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) when they hear the prophets name, they are cursed by Jibrel and Ameen was said by the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Is it correct? Now if  its is, then what are the rulings if we hear the name of prophet in namaz (Salah) from other people? And while listening to Qur'an in Salah And what if we were reciting Quran and we heard the name of the prophet? Could you please tell me.

Dua after Fardh Salaah

Q: I am the imam occasionally in my madressa. After the fardh salah of zuhr. Would it be correct if I raise my hands and make dua softly to myself so that no one in the congregation can hear or is it correct to make a loud dua to which the congregation says ameen?

A dua to be recited in the morning and evening

Q: “Whoever says in the morning and in the evening Hasbi Allaah laa illaha illa huwa ‘alayhi tawwakaltu wa huwa rabb al-‘arsh il-‘azeem (Sufficient for me is Allaah, there is no God besides Him; in Him have I put my trust and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne), seven times, Allah, may He be exalted, will suffice him for what concerns him,” and it does not contain the additional phrase mentioned (“of the affairs of this world and the Hereafter”).

1. My question is whether this should be recited before or after the Fajr and Maghrib prayer or does the time just have to set in?

2. What is considered morning and evening according to Hanafi fiqh?
