How Most of My Duas Get Answered
As-salamu alaykum. I'm sharing this not to brag, but to help clear up some common misunderstandings. Honestly, I'm just your everyday Muslim-I work regular hours, don't attend extra classes, and stick mostly to the basics. I'm sure many of you are better in your practice than I am. I've seen a lot of folks searching for quick fixes or specific 'tips' for getting duas answered, but from my experience, it really boils down to keeping things simple and sincere. Focus on the fundamentals of Islam. In times when nearly all my duas are accepted, I'm doing a few key things: - Cut out distractions like music, shows, or social media that might lead to sin without regret. - Do lots of istighfar and repentance throughout the day. - Keep up with dhikr using authentic remembrances. - Pray all the Sunnah prayers. - Make dua for others and for your own faith, like asking to wake up for Fajr on time. - Visit the masjid whenever possible. - Learn about the best ways to make dua itself. That's pretty much it. Wallahi, I've had some really unexpected duas answered, and you start to see a pattern when you stick to these basics. Allahu Akbar.
