Dua is a form of worship, in fact our holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam regarded it as the best form of worship. The Prophet(pbuh) said, “Supplication is the essence of worship.” Then, the Prophet recited the verse, “Your Lord says: Call upon Me and I will respond to you. Verily, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell in humiliation.” (Almomin:60).
When we make dua in front of Almighty Allah for our needs and wants our dua is being answered, Allah Almighty says in the Holy 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.” (Albaqarah:186), and we will be rewarded for worshiping also. Through dua we accept the power and authority of Allah and our weakness in front of him.
Dua is considered very power full in Islam, as it can change our fate and it can be the most powerful weapon for a Muslim at the time of grief and sorrows. Dua is not just asking about our needs from Allah, as it is the belief of all Muslims that Allah is the sole provider and creator of everything. So through dua we also thank Allah for whatever he has given to us, weather it is our heartbeat, our breath, our health or our wealth, all of these are provided us by Allah. We also ask guidance from Allah at the time of difficulty to show us the way to face this hurdle. Allah is listening to each and every dua made in front of him and answers all the duas .
