Golden Supplications for children by Abdul Malik Mujahid - Paperback

What is a supplication or a Quranic supplication? supplications are requests a person submits to his Sustainer and Provider. Whenever a person is afflicted by trouble, he cries out: “Ya Allah, Ya Raheem! (O Allah! O Compassionate One!). Allah has ordained that His slaves should call Him and promised that He will answer their requests.

Imam Ibn Katheer - may God have mercy on him - said: The Almighty warns that He is the one who is called upon during adversity and is desired in times of calamity. Supplications have two types in Islam:

1. Dua al-Ibadah (Supplications of worship)
2. Dua al-Mas’alah (Supplications of Asking)

The first type is all about the acts regarding the praise of Allah like Surah Fatiha, Ayat-ul-Kursi, etc and the second one is all about the asking of the man before Allah for forgiveness, goodness, paradise, ease for this life and the hereafter, etc.
