Dua After Isha Prayer

What Is Asked in This Dua

In this dua, the servant first remembers Allah by three of His attributes. He is the Ever-Lasting without end; while everything is perishable, He remains. He is the Self-Subsisting who never ceases; His existence is from Himself, and He needs nothing. He is the One who arranges every affair without a helper; He governs all the affairs of the universe without a minister or an adviser. These three attributes remind the servant of whom he is seeking refuge in.

Then the servant states his request: that every difficult matter for himself and his parents be made easy. The dua is made not only for oneself but also for one’s parents; in this way the child repays his debt of loyalty to his parents through dua. Difficult matters may be a concrete hardship, or they may be livelihood, health or the burdens of daily life; the servant entrusts them all to Allah, who arranges every affair.
