There are many little things we can do to make our duas more impactful. Here are some brief pointers to keep in mind: Pray for your parents when you make dua. Pray for another Muslim in their absence without them knowing. Make wudu before making dua. Make dua when it’s raining. Make dua in the last moments of daylight on Fridays. Use authentic duas from the Quran and sunnah in Arabic (though it’s perfectly okay to make dua in your native tongue also). Call upon Allah using the word “Rabbee (My Lord).” Call upon Allah by His names (Ar-Rahman, Al-Ghafur, etc.) Ask Allah based upon some good deed you’ve done in the past. Inshallah, these ideas will help your duas become more meaningful and in turn, Allah will bless you with an improved life. May Allah accept all of your good supplications. Ameen!
