DHIKR AND DUAA

• Dhikr is an Arabic word. If you do dhikr of
  someone you remember that person. You mention him
  to yourself or to someone. In Islam it means
  remembering Allah. Duaa is also an Arabic word.
  When you make duaa to someone you pray to that
  person to give you what you need. A Muslim only
  prays to Allah and asks Allah for whatever he
  needs. Duaa is a way in which Muslims worship
  Allah. Muslims only make daaa to Allah. We
  should make every kind

• of duaa to Allah as He says Invoke Me and I
  will answer your call. We should ask Allah alone
  for help. Dhikr is remembrance of Allah. Allah is
  our creator. We have nothing of our own. Allah
  has given us all we have our life and all we
  possess. Every gift is from Allah. We should be
  thankful to him for these gifts. We should love
  Him above all things. We worship Him alone, fear
  Him alone.

• We worship him by praying to Him. But now?
  Allahs messenger (P.b.u.h) said that we can do
  this by saying a number of statements, like the
  following ones Subhaan-Allah, Al-hamdu Lillaah,
  Laa ilaaha Illallaah, Allaahu Akbar. If we say
  this from our hearts, we can get closer to Allah,
  no name is greater than Allahs name.

• Prayer Duaa is a great tool in the hands of a
  Muslim. Prayer is a Muslims strength. We can
  pray to Allah in our own language. We can pray to
  Allah in our own words. But it is always better
  to pray as our prophet (P.b.u.h) has taught us.
  Allahs messenger (P.b.u.h) has taught us
  supplication or duaa for every occasion.
