Dua & Dhikr

Making dua in your own words, daily remembrance and what to say and when. Short, honest answers for new Muslims.

What dua do I say when getting dressed?

Yes, there is one: for new clothes the Prophet thanked Allah and asked for the garment's good. Plus an everyday dua and starting with the right.

No, your dua is valid without it. Ameen means "O Allah, accept". It's sunnah after al-Fatiha and a nice way to join others' duas.

Yes, if the marriage would be halal. Add "if they are good for me", pray istikhara, and take halal steps instead of secret dating.

Yes, if you were truly wronged, but within limits, and forgiving is better when you can. The oppressed person's dua is powerful.

Yes. You can pray for their guidance, health and wellbeing while they're alive. Asking forgiveness for those who died as non-Muslims isn't allowed.

Yes. The Prophet asked for good in this world too. You can ask for a job, car or home, as long as it's halal and not your only request.
