Adab of Dua 28: When Praying Is Haram


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 concerns? Do my du’as have to be in Arabic?

In this series of short talks, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explains the reality of du’a (supplication) and how to turn to Allah. It is based on a classical text on the same subject by the great Shaykh al Islam Zakariyya al Ansari.

He divided this work into the 11 concise, apt sections described below.

In this video, he explains when making du’a is legally impermissible.

5. The conditions of supplication
6. Its proper manners
