"When My servants ask about Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every supplicant, when he calls on Me. Let them also, with a will, listen to My call, and believe in Me, so that they may walk in the right way" (Qur'an 2:186).

The word du'a in Arabic means "calling" - the act of remembering Allah and calling upon Him. In addition to formal prayers, Muslims are encouraged to call upon Allah for forgiveness, guidance, and strength throughout the day. Muslims can make these personal supplications or prayers (du'a) in their own words, in any language, but there are also recommended examples from the Qur'an, and Ahlul Bayt. The table below has a list of a number of supplications collected from different sources on the Internet and also scanned from major supplication books. Although these supplications are collected from major Shia resources on the internet, we need volunteers to compare and verify them with the known supplication books such as Mafatih ol Jenan. If you are interested please contact the volunteer group.
