A place to begin
Dua Library brings together Arabic supplications, transliteration, English meaning and learning guides. It is written for English-speaking readers, including those learning Arabic and those looking for a clear reference for a particular moment in life.
A reader should be able to distinguish a transmitted wording from an explanation or a personal request. The library therefore keeps the source alongside the text and explains the limits of its use.
How to use the library
Start with a situation, a topic or a named supplication. Read the source card, then the explanation and reader questions. Where a page contains more than one wording, each has its own reference.
The English meaning supports understanding. Transliteration is a reading aid, and listening to a qualified teacher remains useful for pronunciation. Learn how to read a source card.
Our Sunni approach
The library follows a Sunni editorial approach. Relevant differences between the Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Maliki and Hanbali schools are identified rather than flattened into one instruction.
A general learning page cannot resolve every individual question about prayer, worship or personal circumstances. Ask a qualified teacher who understands your situation.
How the work is prepared
The project is maintained by its founder, who oversees the content and corrections.
Some explanatory wording and English meanings have been prepared with AI assistance. Our editorial policy explains how the library distinguishes source text, translation and commentary.
