Times When Du'a Is Answered
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The last question from the questioner in the questions from the Sultanate of Oman says: What are the times when du'a is answered? We ask for your guidance.
Answer:
Supplication is always sought, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is near and responsive at all times and in every moment, provided the conditions for response are met. However, there are times when response is more likely, such as supplication during prayer, specifically in prostration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He also said (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani) Likewise, supplication after the prescribed prayers is a place where response is likely. Also, supplication in the last part of the night, during the time of the dawn, is such a time. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: "And those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night." He said (Exalted and Majestic is He): "And those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night." It is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "A repentant one, so I accept his repentance?"
So this time, the time of the late night, is guaranteed for acceptance, especially if a person has prayed from the night, performed the Tahajjud prayer, and concluded it with seeking forgiveness. Allah the Exalted said:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:17-18].
Likewise, du'a in the last hour of Friday, or du'a on the day of Friday, regarding which it is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 852a calls upon Allah while standing in prayer, except that it is answered for him. This hour is hidden in this day. But the most likely time is between the Imam sitting on the pulpit and the start of the prayer, or the most likely time is the last hour of Friday. There is disagreement among scholars. But these two times are the most likely for acceptance.
So if a Muslim encounters these times and seeks them out and calls upon Allah. Likewise, du'a in Ramadan, and du'a while a person is fasting, and du'a on the Night of Decree.
So the seasons, praise be to Allah, exist and are repeated for Muslims in the day and night, in the week, and in the year. Likewise, du'a in the preferred times and places, such as du'a in the Haram, du'a in the Sacred Mosque, du'a during Tawaf and Sa'y. Yes.

And as for prostration, increase in it your du'a, for it is likely that it will be answered for you.
واما السجود فاكثروا فيه من الدعاء فقمن ان يستجاب لكمThe nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.
اقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فاكثروا من الدعاءOur Lord descends to the earth's sky every night when the last third of the night remains, and He says: Is there anyone asking, so I give him? Is there anyone calling, so I answer him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so I forgive him? Is there
ينزل ربنا إلى سماء الدنيا كل ليلة حين يبقى ثلث الليل الآخر فيقول هل من سائل فأعطيه؟ هل من داع فأستجيب له؟ هل من مستغفر فأغفر له؟ هل منSo this time, the time of the late night, is guaranteed for acceptance, especially if a person has prayed from the night, performed the Tahajjud prayer, and concluded it with seeking forgiveness. Allah the Exalted said:
(17) They used to sleep but little of the night, (18) And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَLikewise, du'a in the last hour of Friday, or du'a on the day of Friday, regarding which it is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is a time on Friday at which no Muslim servant
فيه ساعة لا يوافقها عبد مسلمSo if a Muslim encounters these times and seeks them out and calls upon Allah. Likewise, du'a in Ramadan, and du'a while a person is fasting, and du'a on the Night of Decree.
