Best Times to make Dua (Supplication)

There are certain times dua (supplication) is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT) as mentioned by Prophet (SAW). These times are as follows:

1. The Last Third Of The Night
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (SWT)) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?."' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]

Amr ibn Absah narrated that the Prophet said: 'The closest any worshipper can be to His Lord is during the last part of the night, so if you can be amongst those who remember Allah at that time, then do so.'[at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim - Sahih]

2. Late at night
When people are sleeping and busy with worldly pleasures Allah (SWT) gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke Allah (SWT) for whatever they need. The Prophet (SAW) said: 'There is at night an hour, no Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it, and this (occurs) every night.'
[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah
Anas (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.'
[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)]

4. An Hour On Friday
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (SAW) talked about Friday and said: 'There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (SAW) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands.[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer’s leader) enters the mosque on Friday’s prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer).

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water
Jaber (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for.' [Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062]. This means that when you drink Zamzam water you may ask Allah (SWT) for anything you like to gain or benefit from this water such as healing from illness.... etc.

6. While Prostrating
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW), said: 'The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah (SWT) much in it. [Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and others, Sahih al-Jami #1175]

When a Muslim is in his Salat (prayer) he is facing Allah (SWT) and when he prostrates he is the nearest he can be to Allah (SWT) so it is best to invoke Allah (SWT) at this time. It is said that while in prostration, one should not ask for worldy needs (ie a nice car, a new job, etc), but for the Hereafter.

cukuplah dengan rezeki ini

'rambang mata! tengok tu cantik, tengok tu lawa... semua berkenan!!' - mode shopping sakan.

kalau datang demam shopping, semua benda nampak lawa. bling bling!

macam nak je semuaaaaaaaa!

sekarang ni lagi senang, shopping kat bilik je. esok, barang sampai!

pergh! cyber cyber~

ronda-ronda cyber~

perkara pertama yang pantang nampak, gadget. aduh! dapat lak, gadget macam seminggu sekali keluar baru. nak-nak yang keluar makin lama makin canggih. kan best kalau keluar yang baru ala-ala 3310. tak de la terengen nak membeli!

perkara kedua yang pantang nampak, apa je berkenaan produk muka. asal yang boleh melicinkan muka. sebab? sebabnya, muka ni tak pernah licin!!! ada je yang tersangkut.. kat dahi la... pipi la.. lepas licin, ada lagi. kalau hari ni bersih, esok mesti ada. datang tiba-tiba tak minta izin pun. aigooooo~~

perkara ketiga yang pantang nampak, hmm.. yang ni la yang paling bahaya. sebab ikut musim. kalau musim jubah, ada je jubah cantik, mesti nak beli. kalau demam sling bag, pantang tengok mesti terliur.

nafsu~ macam-macam!!

kalau sekarang ada xperia, terliur tengok orang pakai samsung galaxy.

kalau sekarang ada laptop HP, terliur tengok orang pakai ipad 2.

kalau sekarang ada sling bag tous, terliur tengok sling bag baby phat.

kalau sekarang ada purse paul smith, terliur tengok purse marc jacobs.

nasib tak ada duit je. kalau tak mesti dah boleh jadikan kedai serbaneka. boleh jual balik semua barang-barang tu. tapi sebabkan diri ni tak sekaya mana kan, dan tak ada siapa pun hengen nak sponsor, jadi... diam-diam je.

kalau nak ikut hati dan nafsu ni, memang semua benda kat dunia ni kita nak miliki. sebab memang tak kan pernah habis. lepas 1-1. mau pulak, kalau kita terikut-ikut dengan arus definisi kekayaan sekarang.

orang kata ' kaya tu bila ada kereta ferrari.'

orang kata 'kaya tu bila ada private jet.'

orang kata 'kaya tu bila ada yatch.'

and so on...

kalau nak listkan, memang tak kan habis.

itu jadinya kalau kita ikutkan hawa nafsu semata. membeli dan memiliki bukan lagi sebabkan keperluan tapi hanya kemahuan. tak ada duit pun, jolok tabung mas untuk dapatkan duit. semata-mata nak membeli dan menunjuk. lepas tu... tadaaa~~ hutang keliling badan.

pengiktirafan orang kita memang dapat, tapi seksa hutang diri sendiri je tau. seronok ke hidup dalam kepura-puraan macam tu???

ni ustaz saya ajar, dan saya amalkan setiap kali nafsu membeli saya nak mula liar. saya juga baca sebagai doa harian.

doanya - ALLAHUMMA QANA'NA BIMA ROZAKTANA (dan saya tambah) WA QINA 'AZABANNAR.

maksudnya - ya Allah, cukupkanlah aku dengan rezeki yang ada, dan jauhkan aku dari api neraka.

jangan sebabkan nafsu membeli kita, kita kumpul dosa banyak-banyak. jadi, selalu-selalu ingatkan diri kita bila mata start bling bling!

if i can do it, you can too. yosh!!

insyaAllah wa biiznillah.
