Make Duʿāʾ Big: You Are Calling Upon the Lord of the Heavens

When you raise your hands in duʿāʾ, pause for a moment and reflect on Who you are calling upon.

You are calling upon the Lord of the heavens and the earth — the One whose power has no limit, whose mercy has no end, and whose decree is never delayed or mistaken.

This is the same Lord who:

• Rescued Yusuf عليه السلام from the depths of a dark well and raised him to honor and leadership.

• Saved Ibrahim عليه السلام from a blazing fire that was commanded to become cool and safe.

• Healed Ayyub عليه السلام after years of severe illness and restored to him what he had lost.

• Parted the sea for Musa عليه السلام, carving a path where there was none.

• Rescued Yunus عليه السلام from the darkness of the whale and the depths of the ocean.

• Saved Nuh عليه السلام from the flood and made him a sign for generations.

• Granted Zakariya عليه السلام a child in old age when hope seemed distant.

• Took Muhammad ﷺ on the miraculous Night Journey beyond the limits of this world.

The same Allah who responded to them is the One you call upon today.
