Duas in speech and social life
Duas for sneezing, for being praised, in a gathering, for someone who did you a favor, for one who said "May Allah forgive you", and for spreading salam.
Etiquette of speech in Islam is made of small duas that turn words and gestures into remembrance of Allah. A person sneezes — you say "Yarhamu-kallah." Someone praises you — you answer with a supplication for your own soul.
This set includes: supplication when sneezing, for a non-Muslim who sneezes and praises Allah, when angry, on seeing someone in trial, remembrance in a gathering, the expiation of a gathering, the reply to "May Allah forgive you", for one who did you a favor, for one who says "I love you for the sake of Allah", for one who offers you his wealth, for the lender when the debt is settled, against the fear of shirk, for one who says "May Allah bless you", against superstitious belief, for one you have insulted, the etiquette of praising a fellow Muslim, and the dua for the one who is praised.
Every one is from the Sunnah, with source citation and audio.
Seventeen supplications here are taken from the Quran. Ayah 59:10 asks that no rancour towards the believers be left in the heart; 7:151 asks forgiveness for oneself and for a brother; 7:89 and 21:112 ask for a just decision in a dispute; 4:75 asks for a protector for the oppressed; 18:39 gives the words said on seeing what pleases you in another; 37:180–182 is the glorification that closes Surah as-Saffat. Each carries its sura and ayah.
