48) What is the significance of Dua (دُعَاء  supplication)?

      Dua is ibaadah (worship).

ما أَهَمِّية الدُّعَاء؟

الدُّعَاء هُوَ العِبَادَة

It is for us to understand that the significance of ** Dua ** (supplication) is ibaadah (worship). We should not look at Dua as something insignificant. 

The Daleel for this is the following hadeeth:

عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ‏:‏ ‏(‏وقالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ )     ‏    ‏

An-Nu`man bin Bashir narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم  said: “The supplication is worship.” Then he recited: And Your Lord said: “Call upon me, I will respond to you…."
