Question

I would like to know what is the authenticity of Dua Gan-jul-Arsh?

Answer

The narrations pertaining to Ganj-ul-Arsh are fabricated. None of the reliable and famous commentators of Hadith have accepted it. Hence, it is incorrect for a person to recite it considering the virtues and merits attached to it as authentic. We therefore advise that one should recite the Duas mentioned in the Quraan Sharif, or Duas mentioned in the Hadith Shareef, or other authentic Kitaabs such as Hizbul-Aa’zam, Munaajat-e-Maqbool, or Durood Sharif, Istighfaar, the fourth Kalimah, etc. which have been the practice of our elders and is a means of attaining Barakah.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
