Yes. Duas (personal prayers) can be in any language. The key is sincerity.
During salah, Qur’an recitation and set phrases must be in Arabic (once learned).
Outside salah, any language is fine.
Reference: Prophet ﷺ said:
“Dua is worship.” (Tirmidhi 2969)
We rely on our generous community to create a lasting impact and ensure the continuous operations of your Masjid as the gathering place, school, and house of worship for Muslims across the Triangle.
Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly—their reward is with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.”
– The Holy Quran 2:274
