How should we make Dua for someone during Sujood? Is it sufficient to have the intention, or should we specifically change the arabic wording accordingly to refer to that person?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Making Du’a for someone during Salah or Sujood can be in your own language and not necessarily in Arabic. Your Prayer is valid as far as you seek from Allah (SWT) and don’t talk to people.

My mother has been diagnosed with cancer, and I am looking for specific Duas or prayers to help in her recovery from this illness. Can you suggest any Duas for cancer patients?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Many Quranic verses are very useful in this matter e,g (WA ITHA MARIDHTU FAHOWA YASHFEEN) وإذا مَرِضتُ فَهُوَ يَشفين

Tis verse is in Sura Al-Shu'araa, verse 80.

Repeating it is very useful.

I am worried about myself or a family member contracting an incurable disease, and my work in a medical environment heightens this fear. Is there a specific Dua that can help alleviate my anxiety regarding this situation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There are many supplications for protection beside repeating Estighfaar and Salawaat and giving Sadaqa. These supplications are mentioned in many books like Mafateeh Al-Jinan. One of these Du'as is (أُعيذُ نفسي وديني وأهلي ومالي وما رَزَقَني رَبِّي بالله الواحد الأحد الذي لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد.

(O'EETHU NAFSI WA DEENI WA AHLI WA MAALI WA MACRAZAQANI RABBI BILLAH AL WAAHUD AL-AHAD ALLATHI LAM YALID WALAMBYIULAD WALAMBYAKON LAHU KOFOWAN AHAD)

Wassalam.
