In his Friday Dua (Supplication), Imam Zain ul-Abideen expresses the significance of seeking closeness to Allah on this blessed day. The dua reflects gratitude, humility, and a yearning for divine mercy. It asks for Allah’s protection, forgiveness, and blessings for all Muslims, recognizing Friday as a day of great opportunity for worship and reflection.
