1. Dua is a reminder of Allah’s closeness to His servants

” And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad s.a.w.) concerningMe, then(answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respondtotheinvocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediatororintercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may beontheright path.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:186)

2. Dua keeps us humble

By making Dua, we admit that we, being His flawed servants, are in dire need of His help. Thus, admitting such dependency helps overcome pride and arrogance.The Prophet s.a.w said

” God will be angry with those who do not make requests from Him.” (Sunan At- Tirmizi)

Al-Mubārakfūrī—author of Tuhfat al-Aḥwazī, the explanation of the aḥadīthnarrated by Tirmizi—said: It is because not asking (making Dua) is arrogance and an expression of self-sufficiency, and these attributes are not permissiblefora servant.Dua is a direct act of worship. By making Dua, Muslims acknowledgetheir dependence on Allah and affirm their faith in His power and mercy. It isaway to submit to Allah’s will and demonstrate devotion

3. Allah s.w.t. will answer Dua and remove difficulties of thoseindistress

He says in the Qur’an

” Is it not He Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, andWhoremoves the evil.”
(Surah An-Naml, 27:62)

This Quranic verse illustrates the benefit of making Dua in general. Despitethat, some exceptional cases should be brought to our attention. Some Dua maynot beimmediately or completely granted by Allah s.w.t. And He may eventuallybestow with something else that is even better. And some Dua maynot beanswered at all for some reason. This is due to the fact that Allah s.w.t. isAl-Ḥakīm (All-Wise) and Al-‘Alīm (All-Knowing) about what is best for Hisservants. What we think is good for us could be otherwise in reality, andviceversa.

There are etiquettes (ādāb) that should be observed so that our Dua will beoffered in a proper manner in hopes that they will be granted. Some of theseareas follows:

1. Be sincere

Having Ikhlas (sincerity) is a prerequisite of the acceptance of Dua. Allah s.w.t says in the Qur’an ,

” And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, andworshipnone but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him).”
(Surah Al-Bayyinah,98:5)

2. Glorify and praise Allah s.w.t., and recite Selawāt (salutations) upontheProphet

The Prophet s.a.w said ,

” When any of you prays, he should begin with the glorification of his Lordandpraise Him; he should then invoke blessings on the Prophet s.a.w; thereafterheshould supplicate Allah for anything he wishes.”
(Sunan At-Tirmizi)

3. Include Allah’s glorified names

Seek to learn and understand His glorified names. There will always beat least one name that is apt for what we are asking for in our Dua. Allah s.w.t. says in the Qur’an,

” And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Himbythem, and leave the company of those who believe or deny (or utter impious speechagainst) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.”
(Surah Al-A‘raf, 7:180)
