Question

What du'aa can one recite in these trying times when the Middle-East and Arab world are experiencing so much of problems?

Answer

We should turn more towards Allah Ta’aala and focus on reforming our lives. Good conditions and bad conditions are in reality the consequences of our actions. We should also constantly beg Allah Ta’aala to help the ummat of Rasulullah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam).
