• By daily duas and zikr, the love of Allah grows in our hearts.
• A person stays mindful of the Hereafter, which is a reality everyone fears but cannot escape.
• Through duas, blessings come into a person’s house, wealth, and children, and Allah Himself takes responsibility for their protection.
• Through duas, a person receives guidance and ability to do good deeds, and stays protected from bad deeds.

In Islam, dua (supplication) is a deed that Allah loves very much, and it holds a very high status. Many of us stop making dua because we feel our prayers are not being accepted. But this thinking is wrong. Allah dislikes hopelessness. If we lose hope in Allah, then our failure becomes certain.

Allah definitely gives a reward for every dua—sometimes the reward comes in a different form. And many people’s duas are not accepted because of some major sins they commit. One of the biggest reasons is hurting someone’s heart—if we hurt others, how can we expect happiness for ourselves?

Below are some reasons why duas are not accepted:

• Hurting someone’s heart and not seeking forgiveness.
• Rejecting Allah’s important commands, like not praying Salah or not reciting the Qur’an.
• Not putting in any effort and expecting everything only from dua, although Allah commands us to work as well.
• Dishonesty in business, buying, and selling.
• Consuming haram wealth—like interest (sood) or forbidden earnings.

Morning Protection Duas

First, let’s talk about the morning duas that are recited for protection from difficulties, worries, and accidents. The morning time is so valuable that if we sincerely ask Allah for something, He surely accepts it. When leaving the house in the morning, include Ayat-ul-Kursi for protection—it is very beneficial.

Also, when we see a new sunrise and a new day begins, we should make dua and thank Allah for giving us another day in this world despite our sins, so that we may repent and correct ourselves. In the same way, there are many more duas we should recite in the morning, which bring great benefits and blessings into our lives.

Duas after Asar Namaz

There are two times in a day in which remembering Allah and calling Him brings very great reward:

• After Fajr prayer in the morning
• After Asr prayer in the afternoon

We have already talked about the Fajr prayer time above. Now, the time after Asr prayer is also very precious, and the reward for worship in this time is very great. At this time, a person is free from the worldly work of the day, asks Allah for forgiveness for the sins of the day, thanks Allah, and prays for blessings in wealth, life, and children.

Below are some duas which are very rewarding to recite after Asr prayer:

1. Allahumma afini fi badani – O Allah, protect and bless my body
2. Allahumma afini fi sami – O Allah, protect and bless my hearing
3. Allahumma afini fi basari – O Allah, protect and bless my sight
4. La ilaha anta – There is no deity except You

Benefits of Regular Duas

There are morning, evening, night, and day times in which these duas should be read.
They have many benefits.
By remembering Allah and worshipping Him, there is no harm, because He has power over everything.
But Allah loves His servants so much that He never puts a burden or difficulty more than they can bear.

Allah Himself says:
“O My servant, you walk towards Me, I will run towards you.
You raise one hand, I will raise two hands for you.”

In the morning and evening, even 10 to 15 minutes of remembering Allah and making dua is enough.
We get benefit, and it does not take much time from us.
Allah rewards every good deed double, triple, and even more, until a person becomes amazed.
But the treasures of Allah never decrease.

Below are some benefits of morning, evening, and night duas:

• By daily duas and zikr, the love of Allah grows in our hearts.
• A person stays mindful of the Hereafter, which is a reality everyone fears but cannot escape.
• Through duas, blessings come into a person’s house, wealth, and children, and Allah Himself takes responsibility for their protection.
• Through duas, a person receives guidance and the ability to do good deeds, and stays protected from bad deeds.

Teaching Children Simple Duas

Generally, there are many duas in Islam, but we have to make even small children get used to them. Children observe their surroundings and immediately adopt whatever environment they see. If our home environment is filled with duas, zikr, and remembrance of Allah, then children themselves will develop this habit.

We have all noticed that nowadays children are very addicted to mobile phones, but why? The reason is that they have learned it from us. Our environment has so much mobile usage that children start thinking it is something beneficial or necessary. This is why we must try to make children habitual of duas and zikr instead of mobile addiction.

We should teach them the basic daily-life duas, like the ones written in this post:https://noorulilmonlinequranacademy.com/daily-islamic-routine/ Start with simple and important duas instead of difficult ones. InshaAllah, every child will become someone who reads duas and remembers Allah regularly.
