Supplicating to Allah in the English language
Q: Is it permissible to say Du`a’ (supplication) in English?
A: It is permissible for a Muslim to supplicate to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) in any language they speak, whether it is Arabic, English, Urdu, or any other language. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
