Importance of Dua

IMPORTANCE OF DUA IN ISLAM

Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an:“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 (make Dua).”[Quran 2:186]

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

The importance of dua in Islam is revealed from the above verse and hadith now we highlight the benefits which we got from dua and thus they increase its importance also.

DUA A FORM OF WORSHIP

Dua is a form of worship, in fact, our Holy Prophet (PBUH) regarded it as the best form of worship. When we make dua in front Almighty ALLAH for our needs and wants not only our dua is being answered but we will be rewarded for worshipping also. Through Dua, we accept the power and authority of ALLAH and our weakness in front of HIM.

Dua is the essence of ibadah. A person engaged in dua affirms his belief in Tawheed (monotheism) and shuns belief in all false gods. With each Dua his belief in Allah grows. He beseeches Him, affirming his own powerlessness. A person seriously and sincerely engaged in dua understands exactly the relationship between himself and the Creator and affirms it through his actions. That is the essence of worship! Additionally, such a person can never become arrogant or proud, a logical result of true worship.
