Dua keeps us humble
By making Dua, we admit that we, being His flawed servants, are in dire need of His help. Thus, admitting such dependency helps overcome pride and arrogance. The Prophet s.a.w. said,
Al-Mubārakfūrī—author of Tuhfat al-Aḥwazī, the explanation of the aḥadīth narrated by Tirmizi—said: It is because not asking (making Dua) is arrogance and an expression of self-sufficiency, and these attributes are not permissible for a servant.
