Question
In a chain letter doing its rounds, a dua called Dua Nur is mentioned. It is said that if copies are not made and circulated, a calamity will befall one, and one will be deprived of Rasulullah's shafa'at (intercession) on the Day of Qiyaamah. Please comment. How authentic is this Dua?
Answer
As long as there is no authentic reference for duas, etc., one should not follow and adopt it. Anyone can compile duas, etc. The claim that those who do not distribute 'this dua' will be deprived of Rasulullah's shafa'at is utterly baseless. It is a lie uttered in the name of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The intercession of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) will be for all those who practise the Sunnah. Instead of reciting this unsubstantiated dua, recite Durood Shareef in abundance, and make Tilaawat of the Qur'aan Majeed. Those who shun the Sunnah, will be deprived of Rasulullah's intercession. One should not disseminate unauthenticated material. Ignore all these chain letters.
