Dua, or supplication, is a direct form of communication with Allah (SWT). It is a way to seek His mercy, guidance, and sustenance. Among the many beautiful Duas in the Quran, one stands out for its simplicity and depth: the Dua of Prophet Musa (AS) from Surah Al-Qasas (28:24). This is a supplication for provision and help at a time of great need.
The verse reads:
فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ ٢٤
So he watered (their flocks) for them, then he turned back to shade, and said: "My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"
the Dua:
رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ
"My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"
(Quran 28:24)
This powerful prayer is a reminder of our dependency on Allah for all forms of provision and sustenance.
