Questions people ask
What is a dua?
A dua is a personal prayer of asking Allah, in any words or language, at any time. It is different from the five daily ritual prayers, which have a set form.
Are the duas on this site from the Quran?
Yes. Every prayer is quoted in the Quran. We have not included prayers taken from the hadith because we could not check their Arabic against a source in this session.
Which translation is used?
The English of Marmaduke Pickthall (1930), which is in the public domain. It is old-fashioned, so each page has our own plain explanation too.
The notes on this page are in our own words and are not a ruling or a commentary (tafsir). For questions of practice, please ask a trusted scholar or your local imam.
