Where to begin
The greatest dua of the Quran
It opens the Book and is recited in every prayer. A request for the straight path — the most comprehensive supplication of a believer.
The Straight Path and Steadfastness
Form: An imperative used in the sense of a humble request. It is the main and most frequently repeated supplication in Islam. It combines a request for both the indication of the truth and successful following of it.
Read dua no. 1اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
“Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have blessed, not of those who have incurred wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.”
