Duas of the Prophets: In Hardship and in Ease
Fall 2023
Allah says in the Quran: “Call upon Me, I will respond to you.”
Dua is such an important part of being a believer that our beloved Prophet ﷺ equaled it to worship. That is why Allah has given us examples of duas made by the Prophets and pious people in The Holy Quran. The Prophets were sent by Allah as role models and the best examples for mankind. We follow in their footsteps by learning to make dua when we find ourselves in hardship and need or to achieve peace and success in our lives.
Come join Anse Fadiyah in exploring these stories and the duas which we were gifted! We will learn the importance of dua, what is the adab of making dua, and how to make it. Students will learn about the prophets, their struggles, and the duas they made and how they can apply it to their lives.
