Duas, prayers, and supplications are a form of worship to seek blessing from Almighty Allah. Despite their importance, it is sad that many Muslims do not pray or fulfill the conditions of the prayer.
Prayers (Duas) keep us in touch with God; strengthen our relationship with Him; be grateful for all His blessings, and remind us of His Greatness. Just as the body requires physical needs such as food and water, the soul has spiritual needs: prayers.
Here is a list of a few daily Islamic prayers (Duas) to remember for kids and beginners from the Quran and authentic hadith, which are immensely powerful in shaping our Duniya and Akhirah.
