Farz Namaz ke Baad Dua Karna Mustahab Hai uses twenty-four hadiths and two Qur'anic verses to argue that post-prayer supplication is recommended, not an innovation.
Farz Namaz ke Baad Dua Karna Mustahab Hai is a short Urdu treatise on whether one may supplicate after an obligatory prayer. Its answer is stated in the title: the practice is recommended, not an innovation, and the author builds that answer from twenty-four hadiths and two verses of the Qur’an.
The discussion begins with reports about remembrance after the prayer and the meaning of the Arabic wording used in them. It then gathers narrations used for supplication after the prayer and answers the objection that the evidence refers only to a moment before the prayer has ended. A separate section considers collective supplication and the practical question of whether the imam and congregation may raise their hands.
The conclusion keeps the ruling at the level claimed by the title. The author does not say that every person must make the supplication; he argues that leaving it does not make it an innovation and that making it should not be condemned.
