beginning and the end of our du'as. By virtue of its blessings, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ our du'as will be accepted by Allah.

Dear Islamic brothers, remember du'a is a great source of attaining lots of blessings in this world and the Hereafter. Du'a is a very easy act of worship and a form of munajaat (praising Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and displaying humbleness). By making du’a, we can become close to Allah, attain our needs from Him, becoming deserving of His grace and favours, be granted forgiveness and have all of our issues resolved. The act of making du’a is a habit of the beloved servants of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and it is also a greatly commended act of worship. Making du'a is a Sunnah of the beloved Messenger  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. It is a very great blessing and privilege from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the sinful servant in particular.

The importance of du'a can be judged by this fact: in the Holy Quran, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is not only commanding His servants to make du'a to Him, but He عَزَّوَجَلَّ is also blessing them with the good news that their du'as will be answered. It is stated in the 60^th verse of Surah al-Mu`min, part 24:

وَ قَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُوْنِیْۤ اَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْؕ

 “And your Rab has proclaimed, ‘Pray to Me, I shall answer your prayer.’”^[1]

Similarly, in verse 186 of Surah al-Baqarah, part 2:

وَ  اِذَ ا  سَاَلَکَ   عِبَادِیۡ   عَنِّیۡ   فَاِنِّیۡ   قَرِ  یۡبٌ  ؕ   اُجِیۡبُ   دَ عۡوَ ۃَ   الدَّ اعِ    اِ ذَ ا   دَعَانِ  ۙ

“And O dear Messenger (Muhammad), when My bondsmen question
