Some Conditions of our duas to be accepted by Allah. Let read through and share to others in shaa Allah. Duaa is a great act of Ibaadah (worship), which Allah has granted to the ummah (followers) of Nabi (S.A.W.). It is an act of Ibaadah which creates a direct link between a person and Allah. It makes a person realize that Allah is the only One who can fulfill his needs. It is for these reasons that Nabi (S.A.W.) refers to duaa as “the essence of Ibaadah” (Bukhari Shareef). Some muhaditheen explain that since dua carries such great reward, therefore it is referred to “the essence of Ibaadah”. The fact that Allah has made mention of dua in the Quran is sufficient and clear evidence to prove the lofty status of duaa in our deen (religion).The following are a few ayaat of the Quran pertaining to duaa. “And your Lord says: Make dua (supplicate) unto me, and I will respond and accept your duaa”. (Surah Ghaafir: Ayat 60) “I respond and accept the dua of the one who supplicates unto me”. (Surah Al Baqarah: Ayat 186) There are numerous ahadith advising the ummah to engage in duaa.Hereunder are a few ahadith related to the virtue and importance of duaa. “Ask Allah of His grace, because Allah loves that He be asked (i.e. that duaa be made to him)” (Tirmizhi)“There isn’t anything nobler to Allah than duaa” (Adabul-Mufrad) “Verily, Allah is modest and noble. He feels ashamed that a servant lifts up his hand in supplication and he is returned empty handed”. (Abu Dawood) “Dua is the weapon of a believer, pillar and support of deen (Islaam) and an illumination of the skies and earth”. (Haakim) “Allah becomes angry upon the one who does not make duaa”. (Ahmed). It is clear from the above quotes of the Quran and ahadith of Rasulullah (S.A.W.)that duaa holds a very esteemed position in Islam. Conditions for acceptance of Dua. >A person should make dua with total devotion and concentration. >He should have certainty and conviction that Allah will accept his dua. >He should not consume haraam or be wearing clothing from haraam sustenance. >He can only make duaa for those things which are permitted and acceptable in Islam. >He should not be hasty in his duaa i.e. he shouldn’t say, “Why is Allah not accepting my dua? >The person making the dua should be a person who is steadfast on deen (laws of Allah) or a person who has made a firm intention to rectify himself and become obedient to the commands of Allah (Surah Baqarah, Ayat 286) >Make sure the niyyat is correct. Dua should be solely for the pleasure of Allah. A person complained to a wise person regarding duaa. He tells the wise person, “I make duaa, but my duaa is not accepted, where as Allah in the Quran mentions, ‘Make duaa unto me and I will accept your duaa’”. The wise person replies that there are some actions which prevent the acceptance of dua. To do such actions which bring about the anger of Allah, but one is not remorseful. To claim to be the servant of Allah, but one does not carry out the actions of a true servant of Allah.One recites the Quran, but does not practice on the injunctions of the Quran.One claims to be the followers of Muhammad (S.A.W.), but does not practice on his sunnahs (teachings).One claims that the world is of no value, but attaches himself to this world. One claims that this world will come to an end, yet his preparations seem to be forever. One claims that the life of Jannah is beautiful, yet he does not strive for it. Times when duas are most readily accepted: >Dua at the time breaking ones fasting. >Duaa between azaan and iqaamah. >Dua during prostration. >Dua when rainfalling etc. Allah forgive our mistakes and answer our dua. Amin.
