Superlative degree

I am confused by the superlative degree sentence as following.

(1) What is most important to me right now?
(2) What is the most impoetant to me right now?

Should we omit the definite article "the"? Which is acceptable?

When you have "the," you need the noun it refers to. What is the most important question for me right now? " is correct as it stands.
