The Best Times for Supplication

Question:
We conclude this session, Honorable Shaykh, with a question from our brother Abu Yusuf. He says: Regarding the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) practice in supplication, is supplication permissible at all times, or only at specific times, such as after finishing the prayer and on the Day of 'Arafah?

Answer:
Supplication is open at all times, and the door of acceptance is open from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, it becomes more certain and better in certain times or circumstances. Supplication during prostration is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Likewise, supplication in the last third of the night is recommended.
Especially for those who stand in prayer during the last part of the night and conclude their night prayer with the witr, followed by seeking forgiveness. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: He, the Exalted, also said: "And those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night." And in the hadith:
Is there one seeking forgiveness that I should forgive?" This happens every night in the last part of the night. One should strive to seek forgiveness and make supplication at this time. Supplication in the last part of Friday is also recommended. On Friday, there is an hour called the Hour of Response. No Muslim slave stands praying, meaning making supplication, at that hour without it being answered, as mentioned in the hadith. So there are specific times in which the virtue of supplication is increased. The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of 'Arafah. The best words I and the prophets before me have said are: .
Supplication at times of need and times of dire necessity, supplication in Ramadan and in the seasons of goodness, all of these. So the conclusion is that the time for supplication is open, praise be to Allah. At any time, one raises his hands and supplicates to his Lord. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
