🪶 Intro 

The power of Dua lies at the heart of every believer’s connection with Allah.
It is the gentle whisper of hope, a bridge between the servant and his Lord, and a reminder that no need is too small or too great for Allah to answer.
Through Dua, hearts find peace, souls find strength, and faith finds renewal.

🌿 1️⃣ Qur’anic Verse & Tafsir

Verse:

“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 to Me and believe in Me, that they may be guided.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186)

Tafsir Insight:
Ibn Kathir explains that this verse reveals Allah’s closeness to His servants and His response to their supplications.
There is no barrier or intermediary between the servant and his Lord in Dua — it is a direct act of worship that combines Tawheed, humility, and hope.
Every believer who turns to Allah in sincerity experiences the power of Dua — the nearness of the Most Merciful.
