Adab of Du’a (Prayers) 25

Allah Most High says, “I am near – I answer the call of the one who calls upon me” (2:186)

Yet, many of us wonder: Are my du’as being answered? Is there a certain du’a I have to read for each of my muslim-making-dua-by-the-oceanconcerns? Do my du’as have to be in Arabic?
