The BEST Dua For Good Luck

In Islam the concept of "luck" is not the same as it is in other cultures around the world. As Muslims we do not believe in the idea of "luck" as we believe that everything that happens is predestined and controlled by the will of Allah.

As such there is no luck or chance that is involved when something occurs. Instead of trying to will good luck into existence, we can ask God for help, guidance and ultimately His blessings. Here are some powerful duas that involve an ask to our Lord.
