Duas (prayers) are a super important way to connect with Allah SWT. They're a way to tell Him your hopes, dreams, and ask for forgiveness. But how do you make sure He hears you loud and clear? Here are some tips to improve your dua etiquette and get those prayers answered:

• Set Your Intention Straight: Every good deed starts with a good reason, and that reason should be to please Allah SWT. Make sure you're saying dua for the right reasons, not just for show.

• Clean Up Your Act (Literally): Wudu (ritual washing) isn't just about hygiene. It also prepares your heart and mind to talk to Allah SWT. Think of it as a way to freshen up both inside and out.

• Face the Right Direction and Raise Those Hands: Facing the Kiblah isn't just about looking at the Kaaba, it's about showing respect to Allah SWT. Raising your hands shows humility and surrender to Him.

• Feel What You Say: Duas aren't just words. You gotta mean it! Understand what you're asking for and really put your heart into it.

• Speak from the Heart and Speak Clearly: The best duas come from a sincere heart and are spoken clearly. Don't mumble!

• Stay on the Straight and Narrow: If you're avoiding what Allah SWT tells you not to do and following His commands, your duas are more likely to be accepted.

• Keep It Low Key: Talking softly shows your faith that Allah SWT is super close and hears everything, no need to shout.

• Be Real About It: When you pray with true sincerity, you show Allah SWT that you trust He will answer your prayers.

By following these tips, your duas will be stronger and InshaAllah (God willing), Allah SWT will answer them!
