If My slaves ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the caller when he calls on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and believe in Me so that hopefully they will be rightly guided. (Quran 2:186).
We have all, at some level, as individuals, been touched by the tragedy of 9/11. It has shocked, surprised, hurt and devastated us. Some may have even wanted to turn to despair. But dua for humanity, is a way out of these negative feelings.
It is a time of sadness, but also one of hope. Prayer is a wonderful way to heal hearts and look towards the future. In Arabic, the term Dua refers to supplication to God. Dua is a beautiful method of connecting with the Creator.
There are Duas for each aspect of our lives: from eating, going to the bathroom, going by transport to leaving the house. Since there are so many to be learnt, how can we teach kids dua for children?
