The Meaning of the Phrase: "All We Have Is Du'a"

Question:
Please, Bandar from Hail, come on the line with us. Go ahead. Now. Lower the television volume a bit, Bandar. Lower the television. Go ahead, my dear brother. I mean, your turn. Go ahead and ask your question. The question: May Allah keep you safe. Some people say, with contempt for du'a, and especially du'a for the wretched Syrians, "All we have is du'a," meaning they are being contemptuous of du'a. The second question: May Allah bless you. Is it permissible to recite the adhan with tartil? One of the brothers told me, he said, "It is not permissible to recite the adhan with tartil, like the tartil of Muhammad Sadiq al-Minshawi." Or not? Okay, thank you, Muhammad. Bandar, regarding the contempt for du'a, the phrase "All we have is du'a," this phrase, Shaykh Salih...

Answer:
The phrase is correct. We have nothing but du'a, so we call upon Allah. Du'a is within our ability, but anything else is not within our ability. That is its meaning. This is not contempt for du'a, but rather a statement of what we are able to do. Yes.
