According to muslimwiki.com,”the term dua (Arabic: دُعاء du‘ā’, plural ad‘iya) is the Arabic word for supplication in Islam. Dua is a verbal noun that literally means ‘call’. Islamically, it refers to a verbal prayer.” My guide, Sidi, gave a list of 99 du’a, using the Qualities as a new practice for 2013. He suggested these du’a, along with du’a from the “Sixth Door in The Migration of the Truthful Traveler “, be recited every Thursday and Sunday evening (anytime after maghrib until fajr).
You can listen to these du’a recited by Barry Nur Portnoy here while reading them below. These are 3 different recordings of the same du’a.
