The 10 Best Times When Du'a Is Most Likely to Be Accepted
1. LAST THIRD OF THE NIGHT
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ
يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ، فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:
In the last third of every night our Rabb (Allah (SWT) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; “Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (1145) and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (758).
2. IN YOUR SUJOOD
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ، فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ»
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:
The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah (SWT) much in it.
[Sahih Muslim , 482 ]
3. BETWEEN THE ADHAN AND IQAMAH
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
«الدُّعَاءُ لَا يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ»
It was narrated that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
Du’a is not rejected between the Adhan and Iqamah.
This wording is also narrated with the addition:
«فَادْعُوا»
"So make duʿāʾ (supplication)."

4. AT THE END OF OBLIGATORY PRAYER

«جَوْفَ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ، وَدُبُرَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ»

Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa’ad (RA), that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

«عَجِلَ هَذَا» ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَوْ لِغَيْرِهِ: «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِتَحْمِيدِ اللهِ وَالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، ثُمَّ لِيَدْعُ بَعْدُ بِمَا شَاءَ

خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، وَخَيْرُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
"The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of ʿArafah, and the best that I and the Prophets before me have said is: There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things."
