I have created an online software where you can measure your Eman for
30 days. You can use it for 3 days, 10 days, as many days as you want.
I think you'll find it to be fantastic! In sha Allah.
May this help you make your Salah of *TOP QUALITY*

Here is the list dua’a prompts:
Naseeha:
Talha, radi Allahu 'anhu, reports that Allah's Messenger, sal Allahu
alayhi wa sallam, said, "Apart from the day of the Battle of Badr
there is no day on which the Shaytaan is seen to be more humiliated,
more rejected, more depressed and more infuriated, than on the day of
Arafah.
All of this is only because of his beholding of the abundance of
descending mercy (on that day) and Allah's forgiveness of the great
sins of His servants." (Mishkat)
Aisha radi Allahu 'anha, reports that Allah's Messenger, sal Allahu
alayhi wa sallam, said, "There is no day in which Allah sets free more
souls from the fire of hell than on the day of Arafah." (Muslim)
Allah's Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, "The best supplication
is the one on the day of Arafah!"
Dear Hajji... if Allah ta'ala offered you anything you wanted, and
Allah PROMISED to respond, what would you ask for?
In Hajj, you will have so much time to make dua. You will have so much
time to ask for whatever you want. The gates will be wide open … so
what do you want?
I've seen people prepare their clothes, their money, their passports …
every material thing, but when they reach the Holy sites, at the
blessed times … they go to sleep! Unprepared, not knowing what to say.
(I just go up to people like that and whisper 'make dua for me').
But it's a true pity that they had not prepared what they wanted to
ask for. How many chances are they going to get like this in their
human life?
In sha Allah, this will not be your story and your example. This week,
you are going to prepare a HUGE list of things that you are going to
make dua for. I can't tell you what a difference it will make when
you come to Arafah KNOWING everything that you want to make dua for!
The best dua you can make in your life, is the dua at Arafah! Now,
let's get ready for it!
Assignment
Unlike the Ramadan dua list you did at the beginning of this Hajj
coaching, this is not a list of 16 items. This is a 16 PAGE dua list!
You are going to sit down, and write and write and write what you want
to ask Allah for!
Here are some slices of life to get your brainstorming started:
In regards to my EMAN, what would I ask for?
In regards to my HEALTH and ENERGY, what would I ask for?
In regards to my HEREAFTER, what would I ask for?
In regards to my FAMILY, what would I ask for?
In regards to my FINANCES, what would I ask for?
In regards to my EMOTIONAL HEALTH, what would I ask for?
In regards to my SPOUSE, what would I ask for?
In regards to my CHILDREN, what would I ask for?
In regards to my CAREER OR BUSINESS, what would I ask for?
In regards to my SOCIAL LIFE, what would I ask for?
In regards to my EDUCATION (Islamic or secular), what would I ask for?
In regards to my COMMUNITY and UMMAH, what would I ask for?
In regards to the LEGACY that I'll leave behind after I die, what
would I ask for?
Step 1: With the above slices of life to get your creative juices
flowing, write down on neat and beautiful paper everything that you
want to make dua for! Nothing less then 16 pages! Yes, 16!
Step 2: Print out this list on special paper and keep it handy.
Throughout the coming days leading to Hajj, if you remember anything
else that you want to make dua for, include it on the list. (Once you
clear your mind, new ideas will take its place).
Step 3: Get familiar with the list you made, read it often, and take
it with you for Hajj. When you are in Tawaf, or during Hajj, and
especially on Arafah day, pull it out, raise your hands to Allah, and
ask your Creator from the bottom of your sincere heart!
Bonus: I did this one year, and it was really cool. I was teaching a
young grade 2 Islamic studies class and asked all of them to write
their 'wish'. I told them I was going for Hajj, and I wouldn't open
their envelope until Arafah day. On Arafah day, I pulled out all their
little envelopes and made dua for each one of them. It was a total
EmanRush experience! Alhamdulillah. Try it with your young relatives
or kids at the Masjid or Islamic School.
