DUʿĀ

"Asking is not bothering Him."

We often keep what we need to ourselves. We tell ourselves it is too small, that we don't know the right phrases, or that we don't have the words.

Duʿā asks for no language you had to learn, no set hour, no prepared sentence. It asks only that you tell Allah what is missing.

That is the answer the Islamic tradition has given for fourteen centuries. Name what is missing. Call on Him. Ask beyond yourself.

A book you read, and a journal you fill in

Duʿā spans the centuries; what Daya Layla brings is a way of approaching it today. A verse, a reflection, a page waiting for you: DUʿĀ alternates what it gives and what it asks of you. A guide, then a journal.

Every verse quoted has been verified. It carries its exact reference, and the translation used is named: Saheeh International, published on QuranEnc.com. The hadiths come from sunnah.com, with their reference and grading.

The forty-day cycle

A few minutes a day. What you are missing, three questions. A few words. Nothing more.

No printed dates: you begin the day you choose, and you pick up again after an interruption with nothing to catch up on. The cycle waits for you.

A copy that becomes yours

Once filled in, this journal looks like no other — it's your handwriting, your forty days, your words.

Whatever you ask for is no longer yours. What you have learned to say stays yours.

168 pages. Fourth title in the 40 DAYS collection.
