Duʿāʾ (دعاء) - supplication

Dua is the weapon of the Believer, However, the weapon is only as good as the person holding it. 

For instance, if you give a gun to someone who has never handled a gun before, what do you expect the outcome to be?

...Think about this...

So if you truly want your Dua to be accepted, begin with fixing your innerself. Purify your heart. Only nourish your body with halal means (stay away from ribaa, haram food etc).  




Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, said:
“Verily Allah the Exalted is pure. He does not accept but that which is pure. Allah commands the believers with what He commanded the Messengers. Allah the Almighty has said: "O you Messengers! Eat of the good things and act righteously" [23:51-53]. And Allah the Almighty also said: "O you who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided you with" [2:167-172]. Then he (the Prophet) mentioned (the case of) the man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty and who stretches out his hands to the sky (saying): "O Lord! O Lord!" (while) his food was unlawful, his drink was unlawful, his clothing was unlawful, and he is nourished with unlawful things, so how can he be answered?”
[Muslim] - Hadith 10 in the Forty Hadith


                                          “And your Lord says: “Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer)!” (40:60)
