How to make Dua: Tip #50

Times when Dua is answered: Dua while Prostrating

Making dua in Salaah is something good and recommended, even more so when one is in prostration to Allah as this is when a slave is closest to his Lord.

This is the most noble posture that a worshipper can be in, for it is the epitome of humility and submissiveness. And how can it not be, when a person in prostration lowers his face to the dust, seeking the pleasure of Allah? Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet [May Peace and Blessings be upon him] said: “The closest any worshipper can be to his Lord is while is is in prostration, so increase your duas in it”. [Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa’i and others, from Abu Hurayrah, as mentioned in Sahih al-Jami #1175]
