Supplication (dua, supplication) is the servant’s admission of his own incapacity before the majesty of Allah (God), and his request for His grace and help with feelings of love and reverence. The word dua (supplication) encompasses the meanings of “calling, addressing, requesting, and seeking help,” and is generally used as “a request and entreaty made from the lesser to the greater, from below to above.” Making supplication is praised and encouraged in verses (āyāt) and hadiths. “Call upon Him in fear and aspiration.” (al-Aʿrāf, 7:56) “There is nothing more honorable in the sight of Allah than supplication.” (Tirmidhī, Daʿawāt, 1; Ibn Mājah, Duʿāʾ, 1)
