00:00How to get your prayers answered. Have you ever wondered why sometimes it feels like your duas
00:06are not being answered? Dua is one of the most powerful forms of worship, yet many of us don't
00:12realize how we can make our duas more effective. In this video, I'm going to share with you key
00:19tips on how to get your prayers answered, the etiquettes of making dua and some powerful duas
00:25from the Quran and Hadith that can change your life. Let's dive in. First, importance of dua.
00:33Dua is not just a request to Allah, it's an act of worship. Allah loves when we turn to
00:40him with our needs, no matter how big or small. In Surah Gafir, Allah says,
00:45call upon me, I will respond to you. Imagine that. The creator of the heavens and the earth
00:53wants you to ask him directly. When we make dua, we acknowledge that we are in need of Allah's mercy
01:00and guidance. Second, etiquettes of making dua. Now to make your dua even more effective, there are
01:09certain etiquettes you can follow. First, start by praising Allah. Before you ask for anything,
01:17begin by glorifying Allah. You could say, Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, or any other words of praise.
01:24Second, send a salawat on the prophet. It's recommended to send blessings upon the prophet
01:31Muhammad, peace be upon him, before and after making your dua. For example, Allahumma salli
01:39ala Muhammadin wa ala Ali Muhammad. Third, be sincere. Your heart should be fully present.
01:46Make your dua with sincerity, feeling a deep need for Allah's help. Fourth, face the Qibla. If you can,
01:52face the direction of the Kaaba while making your dua. Fifth, raise your hands. It's a sunnah to
01:57raise your hands when asking Allah for something, as the prophet would do. Third, best times to make
02:04dua. Certain times are more blessed for making dua, and these are when your prayers are more
02:10likely to be answered. For example, first, the last third of the night, especially during Tahajjud.
02:19Second, between the Adhan and Ikamah, before the prayer. Third, on Fridays, particularly in the last
02:27hour before Maghrib. Fourth, while fasting, and especially when breaking your fast. Fifth, during sujood,
02:36when you are closest to Allah in your prayers, make use of these times and see how your connection
02:41with Allah deepens. Fourth, common mistakes in dua. Sometimes our duas might not be answered because of
02:50common mistakes. Here are a few to avoid. First, being impatient. We often expect our duas to be
02:57answered immediately, but remember, Allah responds in his own perfect timing. He knows what's best
03:03for us. Second, asking for harmful things. If you're asking for something harmful or sinful, your dua
03:11won't be answered. Third, lack of focus. Don't rush through your dua without focus. Your heart needs to
03:19be fully engaged. Fifth, why your dua might be delayed. You may ask, why isn't my dua being
03:28answered right away? The Prophet said, the supplication of a servant will continue to be
03:33granted unless he prays for something sinful or cuts off family ties or he becomes impatient and
03:40says, I made dua but it was not answered. Sometimes Allah delays answering our dua because he knows
03:48what is best for us or because he has something better in store. Never lose hope. Allah always
03:55responds but in the way that is best for us. Sixth, the power of consistency in dua. Another important tip
04:04is consistency. Even if your dua hasn't been answered yet, keep making it. Allah loves those who
04:10consistently turn to him. The Prophet said, the one who doesn't ask Allah, Allah becomes angry with him.
04:18So never stop asking. Even in delay, there is wisdom. Seventh, powerful duas from the Quran
04:27and Hadith. Here are a few powerful duas from the Quran and Hadith that you can add to your daily
04:33prayers. First, Rabbana, Atina fid dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan wa qina adhaban nar.
04:44Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the hereafter that which is good and
04:50protect us from the punishment of the fire. Second, ya hayyu ya kayyum bi ramatika astaghif.
04:58Oh ever-living, oh sustainer of all that exists, by your mercy I seek help. Third,
05:06Allahumma inni asalluka alafiya. Oh Allah, I ask you for well-being.
05:11Incorporate these into your daily routine and see how they bring Baraka into your life. Dua is a
05:17beautiful gift from Allah and by following these tips, you can increase the chances of your prayers
05:23being answered. Stay patient, stay sincere and keep turning to Allah in all circumstances.
