Re: How to make a comprehensive & Sincere Dua
Assalamualaykum, hopefully this will be of any help insh'Allah.
Etiquettes of invocations
- Sincere intention.
- To begin with praise and glorification of Allah SWT and to send blessings on the Prophet SAW and to end the du'a in the same manner.
- To invoke with the certainty that it will be accepted.
- Do not ask from anyone other than Allah.
- Invoke for oneself first and then for others.
- Seek forgiveness from Allah SWT while acknowledging ones sins.
- To make du'a with full concentration as Allah does not accept a du'a of a heedless heart.
I guess once one realizes all these things, a du'a is made more sincere. As for comprehensive, Allah SWT knows what is in our hearts. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't make du'a, because Allah SWT said in the Qur'an (one of my most favourite verses in the Qur'an, subhan'Allah):
"And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, * (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation)."
[Qur'an 40:60]
May Allah SWT guide us all and give us the tawfeeq to make du'as in the best manner. :)*
