وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

Al-Qur`an 2:186

When My servants ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about Me: I am truly near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me. So let them respond ˹with obedience˺ to Me and believe in Me, perhaps they will be guided ˹to the Right Way˺.

Essence Of Dua (Supplication)

Allahﷻ does not require our dua to shower His blessings. He is free of need and He is all knowing. He asks us to do dua so we can build a connection with Him. Dua helps us create an intimate bond with our Lord. It saves us from ourselves, from our emotional and physical trials. It helps us build a stronger emotional self.
