Summary of guidelines for making dua from Min Akhbar as-Salaf

The following is a summary of guidelines for making Du’aa – a summary (and fiqh) from Min Akhbar as-Salaf (From the Narrations of the Salaf):

1- one should be sincere in Du’aa

2- one’s heart should be present in the Du’aa

3- while fearing Allaah

4- one’s food should be halal

5- one should make Du’aa with truthfulness

6- the Du’aa should be made repeatedly, persistently

7- humble yourself to Allaah

8- be consistent in Du’aa

9- increase in Du’aa during times of fear

10- Don’t leave off making Du’aa (even if you commit sins), for Allaah answered the du’aa of shaytan – worst of all creation – “grant me respite until the Day of Judgment.” Allaah said (what means): You are of those allowed respite. (Al-A’raf, ayah 15)

11- Keep in mind that Du’aa is ‘ibaadah (worship)

12- one should be fearful of being prevented from making Du’aa

13- Do not say “my Du’aa is not answered,” while you yourself close the door by sins.
