Etiquette of Dua (or How To Supplicate to Allah)

As we spend more and more time reciting Dua’s during the holy months of Rajab, Shabaan, and Ramadhan, it is necessary to know the correct etiquette of Dua. Supplicating to the Almighty should be done in the appropriate manner – in the manner that Allah loves – in order to benefit fully from it. The following are some of the Etiquette of Dua

Begin with Bismillah

Praise and Glorify Allah

Send Blessings on Muhammad(SAW)

Acknowledgement of Sins

Pray emotionally

Pray for others

Whoever prays for others pleases the Almighty greatly.

Have confidence that Allah will answer your Prayers

When praying, the supplicant must have trust that Allah will answer his prayers. A Hadith says, Whenever you recite Dua, assume that what you need is at the door.

Please don’t forget us in your adiyaat (plural of dua’ – supplications), especially in the blessed month of Ramadhan, as well as throughout the year
