Powerful Accepted Duas from the Quran and Sunnah

Dua (supplication) is the believer’s weapon and the closest form of connection between the servant and their Lord. Allah has commanded us to call upon Him and promised to respond:
“And your Lord said, 'Call upon Me; I will respond to you.'” (Surah Ghafir 40:60)

Throughout the Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we find powerful and meaningful duas that bring forgiveness, guidance, relief, and blessings when made with sincerity and certainty.
