Best Times To Make Dua (Supplication)

Best Times To Make Dua

(Supplication)


1. The Last Third Of The Night
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger
(SAW) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb
(Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (SWT)) descends to
the lowermost heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so
that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may
I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so
that I may forgive him?."' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith
Qudsi]

2. Late at night
When people are sleeping and busy with worldly
pleasures Allah (SWT) gives the believers an
opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep
and invoke Allah (SWT) for whatever they need. The
Prophet (SAW) said: 'There is at night an hour, no
Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this
world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it,
and this (occurs) every night.'
[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah
Anas (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:
'A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is
not rejected.'
[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-
Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih
(sound)]

4. An Hour On Friday
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (SAW)
talked about Friday and said: 'There is an hour on
Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat
(prayer) and asks something from Allah (SWT), then
Allah (SWT) will definitely meet his demand.' And he
(the Prophet (SAW) pointed out the shortness of that
particular time with his hands.[Sahih al-Bukhari]

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water
Jaber (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:
'Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for.' [Ahmad 3:
357 and Ibn Majah #3062]. This means that when you
drink Zamzam water you may ask Allah (SWT) for
anything you like to gain or benefit from this water
such as healing from illness.... etc.

6. While Prostrating
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger
(SAW), said: 'The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is
when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah
(SWT) much in it. [Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and
others, Sahih al-Jami #1175]

8. At The End Of The Obligatory Salat:
Narrated Abu Omamah (RA): that Allah’s Messenger
(SAW) was asked, O Messenger of Allah, which
supplication is heard (by Allah (SWT), he said the end
of the night and at the end of the obligatory Salat
(prayer) [at-Tirmidhi]. This time is after saying 'At-
tahyat' , and before making Tasleem (finishing prayer)

9. The Night Of 'Qadr' (Decree)
This night is the greatest night of the year. This is the
night which the almighty Allah (SWT) said about it,
"The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a
thousand months." [Surah al-Qadr, 97: 3]

10. During The Rain
Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (RA): that the Messenger of
Allah (SAW) said: 'Two will not be rejected,
Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being
called, and at the time of the rain'. [Al-Hakim 2: 114,
and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah]
'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet,
and the prayer is called, and when rain falls' [reported
by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]. The
time of the rain is a time of mercy from Allah (SWT)
so, one should take advantage of this time when Allah
(SWT) is having mercy on His slaves.

May Allah Swt give us all hidayah to do the supplications on the given timings.. Yaa Rabb Ul Aalameen..
