Muslims acknowledge that everything unfolds according to the divine will of Allah ﷻ. In moments of challenges, our revered Prophet Muhammad ﷺ turned to Allah ﷻ in prayer, using the language of love and servitude.

The traditions of the Prophet provide guidance on the manner of supplication. Certain prayers are encouraged to be performed regularly in the morning and afternoon, underscoring the importance and advantages associated with such disciplined practices.

These rituals deepen our connection with the Divine and serve as a source of spiritual strength and resilience in the face of trials.

Allah ﷻ has promised to respond to our call for help.

وَقالَ رَبُّكُمُ اُدعُونِي أَستَجِب لَكُم

Your Lord has proclaimed, “Call upon Me, I will respond to you.” - Quran 40:60
