The Quran emphasises that Allah responds to those who call upon Him.
The Prophet (PBUH) said “Dua is itself the worship.” He then recited ‘And your Lord said: Call on Me, I will answer you.’ [Abu Dawud]
Sincere Dua made to Allah can alter your destiny, bringing forward good fortune and all other meaningful benefits, such as good health.
What better way to increase good health and fortune other than through the means of making Dua and remembering Allah, asking for our needs to be fulfilled with as much Tawakkul (trust in Him) as possible.
Here is a list of useful Duas our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to recite when seeking health, healing, good fortune and blessings.
The best Dua to recite when seeking protection from any evil is the following
عوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
