Dua memorization plays a vital role in the life of Muslims. It ought to be remembered, recounted, and honed in varying backgrounds. Dua memorization is an act of worship (Ibadat). It’s an association in the middle of Allah and his adherents. Allah adores the individuals who ask from him through their prayers, in this way in different territories of the Quran.
We can see that individuals may allude to dua all the time; however, their considerations and activities connected with it are dubious. For us, presenting a dua is simply a custom we depend on when we are in a lousy position and have no other decision. We can comprehend the significance of Dua memorization from how it is a wellspring of correspondence between the maker of this world and his creation, i.e., people. He is the one who calms us from our troubles and distresses and gifts us our wishes. Just dua makes most of this conceivable; along these lines, retaining it, in the end, becomes a crucial piece of our life.
Allah emphasizes the need for dua:
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ
“O Mohammad (S.A.W) when My slaves ask you concerning Me, (then) say indeed I am near; I respond to the Dua’as of the supplicant when he calls on Me.” [Al-Baqarah 2:186]

- While driving to school, instead of playing something on the CD player or having a random chat, utilize this time. Tell your kids to recite duas aloud.
- Every time you make them revise the dua, in the end, give them a lesson on the new dua.
- Tell them to repeat the new lesson at least ten times.
- Do not move to the next lesson until you know your kid has memorized the previous one properly.
- Daily revision of previously memorized duas before going to the new lesson will help you or your child memorize these duas for much longer.
