Duʿāʾ

دعاء

Supplication: calling upon Allah with a request or praise.

Definition

Duʿāʾ differs from the fixed prayer (ṣalāh): it has no set time, posture or wording, though the Prophet ﷺ taught many specific supplications. Praising Allah, sending peace upon the Prophet ﷺ and asking with certainty are its recommended manners.
