The Difference Between Du'a' and Istighathah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the difference between du'a' (supplication) and istighathah (calling for aid)?

Answer:
Du'a' is a type of istighathah. Istighathah is broader, but it is specific to times of distress. When a person falls into hardship, he calls for aid. Du'a', on the other hand, is absolute, whether in hardship or in ease. Yes.
