    Method of Supplicating


    One should supplicate after doing Wudhu.
    Supplicate facing the Qibla.
    One should supplicate with both hands raised.
    Before Dua, one must recite the praise and glorification of Almighty Allah.
    Recite Durood-e-pak before and after reciting supplication. (It is given at the end of this section).
    Never supplicate for an unlawful thing or cutting off of relations.
    Supplicate with presence of mind.
    One must have a good notion about Almighty Allah that He is kind, and He would not return the supplicant empty handed.
    One should be absolutely attentive to Almighty Allah.
    One should supplicate fervently.  One should mention the needs.  One must include others also in one’s supplications.
    One must express his humility and weakness before Almighty Allah.
    Give Sadaqah (charity) before supplicating, if possible
    Supplicate before the arrival of calamity. Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) says: You should recognize Almighty Allah during prosperity and He will come to your help when you are in trouble.
    You should request brothers in faith to pray for you as the Almighty accepts the supplication of one believer for another.
    Continue to supplicate regularly whether your supplication is answered or not; perhaps there is some divine exigency in the delay and dua is loved by Almighty Allah, thus one should never give up the most liked act.

    Say “Ameen” at the end of making dua.

    After the supplication, pass both hands over the face.

    Along with supplication, one must abandon all the unlawful acts and disobedience of Allah as bad intentions, internal evil, hypocrisy, delay in ritual prayer and disobedience of parents hinder acceptance of supplications.

    Allah encourages calling Him in supplication after remembering Him, because this will make it more likely that the supplication will be accepted. Allah also criticizes those who only supplicate to Him about the affairs of this life, while ignoring the affairs of the Hereafter.

    Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, “Some bedouins used to come to the standing area (`Arafat) and supplicate saying, `O Allah! Make it a rainy year, a fertile year and a year of good child bearing.’ They would not mention any of the affairs of the Hereafter.

    Thus, Allah revealed about them:

    “But of mankind there are some who say: “Our Lord! Give us (Your bounties) in this world!” and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.” meaning, they have no share in the Hereafter. This criticism serves to discourage other people from imitating those mentioned.

    The believers who came after them used to say:

    “Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!”

    Next, Allah revealed:

    “For them there will be an allotted a share for what they have earned. And Allah is swift at reckoning.”

    Hence, Allah praised those who ask for the affairs of both this life and the Hereafter.

    The supplication mentioned and praised in the Ayah includes all good aspects of this life and seeks refuge from all types of evil. The good of this life concerns every material request of well-being, spacious dwelling, pleasing mates, sufficient provision, beneficial knowledge, good profession or deeds, comfortable means of transportation and good praise, all of which the scholars of Tafsir have mentioned regarding this subject. All of these are but a part of the good that is sought in this life. As for the good of the Hereafter, the best of this includes acquiring Paradise, which also means acquiring safety from the greatest horror at the gathering place. It also refers to being questioned lightly and the other favors in the Hereafter.

    As for acquiring safety from the Fire, it includes being directed to what leads to this good end in this world, such as avoiding the prohibitions, sins of all kinds and doubtful matters.

    Al-Qasim bin `Abdur-Rahman said, “Whoever is gifted with a grateful heart, a remembering tongue and a patient body, will have been endowed with a good deed in this life, a good deed in the Hereafter and saved from the torment of the Fire.”

    This is why the Sunnah encourages reciting this Du`a’ (i.e., in the Ayah about gaining a good deed in this life and the Hereafter). Al-Bukhari reported that Anas bin Malik narrated that the Prophet Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam used to say this dua.

    Imam Ahmad reported that Anas said, “Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) visited a Muslim man who had become as weak as a sick small bird. Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) said to him, `Were you asking or supplicating to Allah about something’ He said, `Yes. I used to say: O Allah! Whatever punishment you saved for me in the Hereafter, give it to me in this life.’ Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) said:

    “All praise is due to Allah! You cannot bear it -or stand it-. You should have said: Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!

    The man began reciting this Du`a and he was cured.” Muslim also recorded it.
