Daily Routine Dua

Dua is a direct and personal means to communicate with God. Unlike formal prayers (salat), which have predetermined postures and verses, dua are casual and can be said at any time, in any location, and in any language. The beauty of  dua stems from its simplicity. Daily Routine Dua is a discourse between the believer and the Creator in which one can freely express wishes, anxieties, gratitude, and regrets.

In Islam, there are lovely supplications and  daily routine dua  for every minute of the day, from waking up to sleeping.

اسلام میں، روزمرہ کے معمولات کے لیے خوبصورت دعائیں ہیں، جنہیں دن کے مختلف لمحات میں پڑھا جا سکتا ہے، جیسے کہ صبح بیدار ہونے سے لے کر رات سونے تک۔ ان دعاؤں کو پڑھنے سے اللہ کی برکتیں اور حفاظت ہمارے روزمرہ کے اعمال میں شامل ہوتی ہے، اور ہم اس کی موجودگی اور فضل کے شکرگزار ہوتے ہیں۔ ہر دعا ہمیں اللہ کی موجودگی کا احساس دلاتی ہے اور ہمیں اپنی زندگی میں مقصد اور سکون فراہم کرتی ہے۔
