The Essence of Dua and Worship

Dua is a fundamental expression of worship and belief in Allah, serving as the primary manifestation of one's faith. When individuals direct their dua towards entities other than Allah, they are committing a significant error by assigning divine qualities to these beings, hence engaging in shirk. The Quran explicitly instructs believers to invoke Allah alone in their prayers, with rhetorical questions highlighting the futility of asking for help from those who cannot aid or harm. Understanding the nature of worship involves recognizing Allah’s unique perfection and acknowledging that true ibadah can only be directed to Him.
