Everyday duas

Small duas, said all day long.

Thirty-one short duas a child can carry through the whole day — waking, eating, wudhu, the masjid, rain, illness and saying sorry. Every card shows its source: a verse of the Quran or an authentic narration. Nothing here is made up.

A clay boy kneels on a prayer rug with his palms cupped in front of him, making dua with his eyes closed.
