Dua is a means through which a servant draws from the unlimited treasures of Allah Ta‘ala. There are numerous virtues reported in the Mubaarak Ahaadith for those who make dua. Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said that dua is the essence of all ibaadah. ^[1]

In another Hadith, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that Allah Ta‘ala becomes pleased with the servant who makes dua and begs Him for his needs, ^[2] and Allah Ta‘ala becomes displeased with the servant who does not turn to Him in dua, begging Him for his needs. ^[3]
