Understanding the Importance of Dua in Islam
Dua, a powerful act of worship in Islam, establishes a strong bond between Allah SWT and his believer. It is regarded as the most powerful means of communicating with Allah SWT.
Muslims use Duas not only to seek assistance or guidance but also to express gratitude and forgiveness from Allah SWT.
Duas are important tools for seeking Allah SWT’s mercy and healing in various situations, such as illness or pain. Specific Quranic Duas provide pain relief while wiping the area of discomfort.
This practice embodies the inherent belief that health is wealth, and good health is essential in Islam. Prophet Muhammad PBUH has also commanded us to ask for good health:
سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فَإِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يُعْطَ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ
Ask God for forgiveness and health, for after being granted certainty, one is given nothing better than health.” Mishkat al-Masabih 2489
Consistent recitation of Dua promotes spiritual enhancement, which may improve physical well-being.
Thus, the role of Dua goes far beyond simple religious observance; it is an essential factor in promoting general well-being among believers.
Best Islamic Duas for Good Health
The Quranic Duas for Health and Prophetic Duas for Health are powerful prayers that can aid in maintaining good health.
Quranic Duas for Health
The best Dua for health that you will find in the Quran is Al-Mu’awwidhatayn (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas) as both of these Surahs are written in the form of Dua, and they were revealed to the Prophet PBUH when he got inflicted by magic.
Aisha R.A narrated how Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to recite these Surahs:
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ جَمَعَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ نَفَثَ فِيهِمَا فَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} وَ{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} وَ{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ} ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ يَبْدَأُ بِهِمَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ وَمَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed every night, he used to cup his hands together and blow over them after reciting Surat Al-Ikhlas, Surat Al-Falaq, and Surat An-Nas and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He used to do that three times. Sahih al-Bukhari 5017
If you look at the translation of these two Surahs, then you will realize their power:
Surah Al Falaq
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ ١ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ٢ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ٣ وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ ٤ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ٥
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak from the evil of whatever He has created, and from the evil of the night when it grows dark, and from the evil of those ˹witches casting spells by˺ blowing onto knots, and from the evil of an envier when they envy.”
Surah An Na
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ ١ مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٢ إِلَـٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٣ مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ ٤ ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٥ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ ٦
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of humankind, the Master of humankind, the God of humankind, from the evil of the lurking whisperer— who whispers into the hearts of humankind—from among jinn and humankind.”
Are you wondering why Prophet Muhammad PBUH recited Surah Al-Ikhlas alongside these Surahs? This is because this Surah praises Allah SWT and his attributes, and praising Him is part of the Dua etiquette.
But how often should we recite these Surahs? Prophet Muhammad PBUH said:
“”اقرأ: قل هو الله أحد، والمعوذتين حين تمسي وحين تصبح، ثلاث مرات، تكفيك من كل شيء
“Recite Surat Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu’awwidhatain (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas) three times at dawn and dusk. It will suffice you in all respects.” Riyad as-Salihin 1456

Dua in Ahadith For Good Health
In several hadiths, Prophet Muhammad PBUH described health as one of the greatest blessings:
‘There is no harm in wealth for someone who has taqwa, but health for the person who has taqwa is even better than wealth. Cheerfulness is a blessing.'” Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Prophet Muhammad PBUH conveyed to us several Duas to ask Allah SWT for good health, we will mention some of them below:
إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَأَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ.
O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the disappearance of Your blessing and from the loss of good health and Your sudden vengeance and all of Your anger.'” Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 685
مَنْ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلاَءٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلاَءٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ
If anyone says three times: “In the name of Allah SWT, when Whose name is mentioned nothing on Earth or in Heaven can cause harm, and He is the Hearer, the Knower” he will not suffer sudden affliction till the morning, and if anyone says this in the morning, he will not suffer sudden affliction till the evening. Sunan Abi Dawud 5088
“اللهم إني أعوذ بك من البرص والجنون، والجذام، وسيئ الأسقام”
Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-barasi, wal- jununi, wal-judhami, wa sayyi’il-asqami’ (O Allah! I seek refuge in You from leukoderma, insanity, leprosy and evil diseases).” Riyad as-Salihin 1484
There are a few more Duas about health in the books of Hadith, but we have mentioned the short ones here as they are easier to memorize. This allows you to easily incorporate them into your daily life InshAllah.

Etiquettes of Making Dua
Now that you are aware of the Duas for good health, we will next discuss the etiquette of making Dua.
Have Trust in Allah SWT
When it comes to making Dua, we need to completely trust that Allah SWT will hear and respond to our Dua.
واذا سالك عبادي عني فاني قريب اجيب دعوة الداع اذا دعان فليستجيبوا لي وليؤمنوا بي لعلهم يرشدون
“Wa-itha saalaka ibadee Aannee fa-innee qareebun ojeebu daAwata adda’i itha da’ani falyastajeeboo lee walyu’minoo bee la’allahum yarshudoon” Source
(Muhammad), if any of My servants ask you about Me, tell them that the Lord says, “I am near; I accept the prayers of those who pray.” Let My servants answer My call and believe in Me so that perhaps they may know the right direction. Source
Praise Allah SWT and Send Salat Upon the Prophet PBUH Before Making Dua
In a hadith, Prophet Muhammad PBUH instructed us to praise Allah SWT and send Salat upon the Prophet before making Dua:
“The Prophet (ﷺ) heard a man supplicating in his Salat, but he did not send Salat upon the Prophet (ﷺ), so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘This one has rushed.’ Then he called him and said to him, or someone other than him: ‘When one of you performs Salat, then let him begin by expressing gratitude to Allah and praising Him. Then, let him send Salat upon the Prophet (ﷺ), then let him supplicate after that, whatever he wishes.'” Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3477
Become a Beggar in Front of Allah SWT
“ “إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ وَلَكِنْ لِيَعْزِمِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ وَلْيُعَظِّمِ الرَّغْبَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَتَعَاظَمُهُ شَىْءٌ أَعْطَاهُ
When one of you makes a supplication (to his Lord), one should not say: O Allah, grant me pardon, if Thou so likest, but one should beg one’s (Lord) with a will and full devotion, for there is nothing so great in the eye of Allah which He cannot grant. Sahih Muslim 2679a
You shouldn’t be making Dua like, “Oh, Allah, please give me this or that, if you can…” Instead, you should say, “Oh Allah, please, please give me this…”
Be Patient
“ يُسْتَجَابُ لأَحَدِكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ يَقُولُ دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي
“The invocation of anyone of you is granted (by Allah SWT) if he does not show impatience (by saying, “I invoked Allah but my request has not been granted.”) Sahih al-Bukhari 6340
Allah SWT always accepts your Dua at the appropriate time, so be patient, and if Allah SWT does not accept your Dua, be grateful because Allah SWT is deciding something better for you.
Raise Your Hands in Front of Him
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا
Your Lord is munificent and generous and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him. Sunan Abi Dawud 1488
The most common way is to make a cup of your hands and face it towards the sky.
