1. Because Allaah commanded us to ask Him وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ٦٠ And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible. (Surah Ghafir 40:60) 2. Du'aa is worship The Prophet ﷺ said: الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ "Du'aa is worship." (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, authentic) Every sincere du'aa is an act of worship, even before it is answered. 3. It shows our poverty and Allaah's richness Allaah says: ۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ أَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ ١٥ O mankind, you are those in need of Allāh, while Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy. (Surah Fatir 35:15) Every du'aa is a declaration: "O Allaah, I cannot do this without You."
