DUAH'S

Duah literally means a request, invocation or supplication. According to al-Khattābī, Duah is the asking of a servant from his Lord for help and for His continued support. It is a form of ‘Ibadah (worship) and Zikrullah (remembrance of Allah).

There are numerous Duah's with various purposes in the Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet PBUH. We are highly encouraged to recite these Duah's from both sources for our benefits in both worlds. Also, we can personalise our Duah by making it in our own words and in a language we are comfortable with for better contemplation. Even if our expressions in the Duah may sound opaque or not well organized, Allah s.w.t. knows best of our thoughts and intentions.  

Allah Almighty says in the Quran::
“When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me (makes Duah).”
[Quran 2:186] 

The importance of Duah in front of Allah can be evaluated from this that the Prophet PBUH had said: “Nothing is more honorable to Allah the Most High than Duah.”
[Sahih al-Jami` no.5268]
