Du'a is asking God with our hearts: we raise our hands, ask Him for what we need, thank Him and ask His forgiveness. A Muslim may make du'a at any time and place, loves to pray for parents and Muslims, and children learn short easy supplications from the Sunna.

Du'a (supplication)
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Du'a in Islam is turning to God in petition and praise: asking Him for religious and worldly needs, seeking forgiveness and giving thanks. The hadith books record that du'a is 'the essence of worship', and that God loves a servant's insistence in du'a without boredom or haste. It has manners: facing the qibla, raising the hands, beginning with praise and blessing on the Prophet ﷺ, insistence with good opinion of God, and times when answer is hoped — the last third of the night, between the adhan and iqama, Friday, travel and fasting, and the worshipper's prostration. Muslims have learned transmitted supplications from the Qur'an and Sunna for morning, evening, eating and travel.
