Do you want the key to success and happiness in this world? What could be more effective than pleading to this world’s Creator for granting you prosperity? Dua is one of the most powerful tools for Muslims to overcome any difficulty in life.
Importance of Supplication in Islam
Belief in Allah’s Oneness and Supreme Authority is the basic requisite of becoming a Muslim. It is not just the proclamation of faith but a firm belief that only Allah provides and sustains us. Moreover, there is immense reward in supplicating to Allah. Not only do your wishes come true if you supplicate to Allah, but you also earn immense rewards for praying.
When the believer begs and implores Allah for his mercy and blessings, Allah loves it. Allah never returns a prayer unanswered. Either he grants it right away, reserves it for the right time, or if it is not in the person’s best interest, he grants him something else. But he never lets the prayer go to waste.
