About this dua

This dua is drawn from al-Mulk. The Quran preserves the supplications of the Prophets themselves — reciting their exact wording is itself a form of following their example. Reciting Quranic verses with the intention of seeking Allah's response is one of the oldest forms of dua. The verses are already perfect — what you bring to them is your attention and your need.
