Dua is asking Allah for help or for the fulfilment of a particular need. It expresses a slaves helplessness and dependence on Allah, the All-Powerful and Merciful. It is the channel through which one gets directly in touch with ones Creator.
The purpose of mans creation is worship and according to a Hadeeth, dua is the essence of worship. (Tirmizi) And according to another Hadeeth, dua is the worship. (Tirmizi)
One should keep in mind that the acceptance of duas also depends on the expectations of a person. Allah deals with people in accordance with what they expect of Him. In one Hadeeth, the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam has related the following Statement of Allah: I treat my servant as he expects of me… (Bukhãri, Muslim)
