Scholars recommend the following when saying duaa:\\n1. Being in a state of ritual purity when possible\\n2. Face the qibla\\n3. Raise hands\\n4. Begin by praising Allah (al-ḥamdu li-Llāhi Rabbi-l-ʿālamīn)\\n5. Send salat upon the prophet (Allahumma ṣalli ʿala Muhammadin wa ʿala ālihi wa sallim)\\n6. Ask Allah for what you need\\n7. Repeat #5\\n8. Wipe face with hands \\n\\nThe reason for enveloping your duaa with salat upon the prophet is because salat upon the Prophet ﷺ is always accepted by Allah ﷻ. Thus, the expectation is that Allah's generosity will extend to accepting the entire package, including both the salat and the duaa within it.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c232829","tag":"Worship: Dua","count":109},{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c232826","tag":"Worship: Etiquettes","count":79}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:53.038Z"}
