A dua, an Arabic word, is highly important in Islam. It means prayer or asking for help and forgiveness from Allah. It’s also a way to worship and remember Allah. Duas are crucial for believers. They allow Muslims to talk to Allah, seeking His mercy, forgiveness, and blessings. Because only Allah can grant believers’ wishes, turning to Him in times of need confirms a Muslim’s belief in His oneness and greatness.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Dua (supplication) is the essence of worship.” – Jami at Tirmidhi 3371
