The questioner:
The questioner: Regarding the virtue of supplication, may Allah bless you, and the times of its acceptance. He asks: How should one make supplication for our brothers in Syria?
The Shaykh:
The Shaykh: Supplication is required at all times, but there are times when acceptance is more hoped for than others, such as supplication during prostration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani) from prostration, so hope that you will be answered.
And among them is the end of the night, meaning the time of the pre-dawn hours, when one supplicates to his Lord, Mighty and Majestic. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, descends? And this is every night. So this is a time for supplication in which it is more likely to be answered than at other times. And among them is supplication on Friday and on Friday night Sahih Muslim 852a, when one supplicates to Allah . And among them is supplication in Ramadan and on the Night of Decree. And among them is supplication in the noble places, such as the Sacred Precinct, the Prophet’s Mosque, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. And supplication for our Muslim brothers in every place, especially those who have been struck by calamities. We hope that Allah will relieve them and remove what has befallen them in Syria and elsewhere. Yes.

to the lowest heaven and says: Is there anyone asking, that I may give him? Is there anyone supplicating, that I may answer him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him?
إلى سماء الدنيا ويقول هل من سائل فأعطيه؟ هل من داع فأستجيب له؟ هل من مستغفر فأغفر لهThere is a time on Friday at which no Muslim servant
فيه ساعة لا يوافقها عبد مسلمbut He will give him,
إلا أعطاه،
