About Dua (Supplication)
Dua is a prayer of invocation, supplication or request, even asking help or assistance from Allah. Muslims regard this as a profound act of worship. Muhammad (SAL) is reported to have said, "Dua is the very essence of worship."

In Islamic terminology dua is the act of supplication. It is calling out to God; it is a conversation with God, our Creator, our Lord, the All Knowing, and the All Powerful. In fact the word is derived from the Arabic root meaning to call out or to summon. Dua is uplifting, empowering, liberating and transforming and it is one of the most powerful and effective act of worship a human being can engage in. Dua has been called the weapon of the believer. It affirms a person's belief in One God and it shuns all forms of idolatry or polytheism. Dua is essentially submission to God and a manifestation of a person's need for God.
