Praise Allah as He deserves

Send salawat on the Prophet ﷺ

Use Allah’s beautiful names to call Him. E.g., Al-Rahman, Al-Raheem, Al-Khaliq

The Prophet (saw) said, “Every dua is kept back until you send blessings upon the Prophet.”

Face the qiblah

‘Umar (ra) narrated, “..then the Prophet (saw) turned to face the qiblah, then he stretched forth his hands and started to cry out to his Lord”

Raise your hands into the position of making dua

Have faith that your dua will be accepted and Allah will respond one way or another

Ibn al-Jawzi (rh) said. “I think part of the test is when a believer supplicates and receives no response, and he repeats the dua for a long time and sees no sign of a response. He should realise that this is a test and needs patience.”

Ask frequently – don’t lose hope. Remember, Allah’s kingdom is vast, so do not restrict yourself when asking Him for something.

‎“Make sure that you master the Qur’an and that you learn something new every day.”

Staying silent without recitation (of the Quran), nor thikr, nor du'a, is not worship, nor is it ordered for, rather it opens the door for the whispering of the shaytan. Therefore, keeping busy with Dhikr (mentioning Allah) is better than remaining silent.

Allah makes all the difference.

‎لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا

‎"The test gets harder when the relief is close."

سوف يسمعك الله

Allah ‎ﷻ will hear you

حتى عندما يرفض العالم كله الاستماع

Even when the whole world refuses to listen
