 Best times for Du'a

 

 Middle of the night:

 The Messenger (Peace and Blessing be upon him) said: "The Gates of Heaven are open at midnight, and a caller calls, 'Is there a supplicant that his supplication may be granted? Is there a petitioner that his petition may be granted? Is there a distressed person so that his distress may be removed?'

 At that time, no Muslim makes a du'a but that it is answered, except for an adulteress who trades with her body, or a person who  gathers his money unlawfully." [Sahih al-Jami' 2968]

 

 

 At the time of Athaan and between it and the Iqamah:

 The Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said: "A du'a between athaan and the iqamah is not refused, so make du'a at that time." [Ibn  Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban]

 

 The Messenger (Peace and Blessing Be upon Him) said: "Two kinds of du'a are not rejected - or rarely are they rejected - du'a at the time of the call for prayer, and du'a at the time of fighting when the warriors are engaged with each other." [Abu Dawud]

 

 On Friday after 'Asr The Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said:

 "Friday has twelve periods. Among them is a period when no Muslim asks Allah for anything but He grants it to him. Search for that period late after 'Asr." [Sahihal-Jami' 8402]

 

 When it is raining:

 The Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said:

 "Two kinds of du'a are not rejected: du'a at the time of the call for prayer, and du'a during rain." [Abu Dawud]

 

 Being a parent, while fasting and while travelling:

 The Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:

 "Three types of du'a  are undoubtedly granted: a parent's du'a for his  children, du'a of a  fasting person, and du'a of the traveller." [Abu Dawud]

 

 While Making Sujood:

 The Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said: "The servant is closest to his Lord while in sujud, so ask Allah in that time."

 

 Laylatul-Qadr:

 Aisha asked the Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him)   What should I say on Laylatil-qadr? And he replied, O Allah, indeed you are  a Pardoner,and  you love pardon; so pardon me.
