Questions
Yes, you can make dua in any language as Allah understands all languages. However, there is special virtue in reciting the original Arabic duas from Quran and Sunnah. Here's what you can do:
- Start by learning the short Arabic duas (like Rabbi zidni ilma)
- Follow with your personal supplication in English/Urdu
- Use the transliteration to help with pronunciation
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah does not look at your bodies nor your forms, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds." (Muslim)
There's no fixed number, but here are recommended practices:
- 3 times: For short duas like "Rabbi yassir wala tu'assir"
- 7 times: For protection from anxiety (Ayat-ul-Kursi)
- Daily: Make it a habit during study sessions
Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: "When you ask Allah, ask Him in abundance, for He loves to be asked." (Tirmidhi)
"And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near." (Quran 2:186)
These times are especially powerful for dua acceptance:
- Last Third of the Night: During Tahajjud time
- After Fard Prayers: Especially Fajr and Asr
- While Prostrating: In sujood during salah
- Between Adhan and Iqamah: A time when duas are not rejected
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The closest a servant is to his Lord is when he is in prostration, so increase your supplications then." (Muslim)
Pro Tip:
Combine your dua with sending salawat upon the Prophet (ﷺ) - it elevates the dua and increases chances of acceptance.
