Prayer is a worship and communication to God. Prayer can be spoken, silent (no talking), or in a song. It can be used to praise God or to ask for something including help and forgiveness.
Prayer can take a variety of forms: it can be part of a set ritual or an individual invocation and can take the form of a hymn, a ritual statement, or a spontaneous expression. It can be done alone or in groups.
In Christianity, prayers are varied. They can be completely spontaneous, or read entirely from a text, like the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The most common prayer among Christians is the Lord's Prayer which, according to the gospel accounts, is how Jesus taught his disciples to pray.
In Islam, salat is observed three[1][2][3] or (most commonly) five times every day at prescribed times.
Hinduism has prayer to various divinities or holy beings.
Dua
duʿāʾ (Arabic: اَلدُّعَاءُ) is a prayer or request made by Muslims[4][5] in which they ask for help from their God. Muslims see dua as a very serious way of worship.
Dua has been done by Muslims for a long time,[6] as it is seen as very important by a lot of Muslims and Muslim families.[7] They have been carried on as traditions.
