The Power of Dua in Changing Qadr

Dua has the unique ability to alter one's predetermined fate, as highlighted in various teachings. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized that good deeds can increase one's lifespan, while dua serves as a tool to repel fate and change what has been destined. According to narrations, dua can influence both past events and those yet to occur, suggesting that the act of supplication has profound implications on a person's Qadr. Despite the fixed nature of Qadr, scholars suggest that dua can change the lower levels of fate, allowing individuals to seek and experience different outcomes through their sincere prayers.
