It was a very fast-paced and a captivating read. The author Shaykh Yasir Qadhi has driven the point home in a very refreshing fashion.
Some of the gems I derived from this book---
1) Du'a is not an option, it's an obligation.
2) Du'a can be done at any time and at any place.
3) Du'a is a shield for the believers.
4) Allah accepts anyone's du'a if it's done sincerely.
5)The acceptance of one's du'a is proportionate to their sincerity.

This book explains the importance of dua'a, something which is not discussed often enough in halaqahs or khutbahs. Besides the importance and benefits of dua, the author also discusses the correct method of performing dua, what actions makes it more likely to be accepted, what makes it less likely to be accepted, some innovated practices, etc. It is very helpful, easy to read, and definitely a staple for any Islamic library.

Very informative and structured in a way that makes it easy to refer back to specific sections. My only complaint is that there is quite a bit of repetition in general.

Many of us very often complain that My Du'a is not being accepted. But how then our du'a will be accepted when we are not following minimum etiquettes of making du'a. Prophet Muhammad PBUH said, "Du'a of a believer will be accepted unless he hurries in du'as and wants something impermissible." So must need to know these conditions and pre requisite of making Du'a. In this small booklet Shykh Yasir explains all the related facts of making Du'a. The eloquence of writing will not let you feel bored ever.

January 11, 2015FANTASTIC BOOK!
December 16, 2025
Simply a phenomenal paradigm-shifting book. May Allah reward the Author generously for writing such a treatise.
It emphasizes the generosity of God and puts it in perspective.
Below are a few gems I picked up:
Humans, when you ask them for favors, get irritated. Allah, when you don't ask him, gets angry.
Allah is the All Generous, All Powerful. He is full of love and wants to give his servants more of his love.
I read something along the lines of this:
- If God takes all humans and Jinn and places them on a plane and satisfies each and everyone's wishes, that won't take anything of his Power and Kingdom, just as much as a needle, when placed in the ocean and removed, doesn't take any of the ocean's water.
Some people, maybe due to growing up in poor families or societies, train themselves to ask little, because people around them can't be generous. However, this is not good when you apply it to Du'a.
God has everything, and verily, the Heavens and Worlds are under his control and his only. He can do anything. He just says "kun" and it becomes, so why restrict one's wishes when asking Allah?
One should ask for more from the All Generous Creator.
- If you ask for a loaf of bread, realize that Allah, Al Kareem, Al Razzaq, can give you endless fields of fertile harvest and lifestock.
- If you ask Allah for a bicycle, realize that he can place in your favour the most fancy and most secure suite of cars and place private chauffeurs in your employ.
- If you ask Allah to lower your punishments, realize that he can put you in the high ranks of Heaven for Eternity.
Realize your lowly status compared to Allah. Make your Du'a with humility and grace, for you are a mere mortal and nothing in your life happens without the guidance of Allah, for without him, you could not take a single breath. If he wills, he can stop your heart right now and take your life. Everything in the world happens at the will of Allah, so don't be too arrogant. Don't stop making Du'a when it is not responded to. Don't make Du'a as an "experiment" as if you're testing Allah and putting Him on an exam as if he's your pupil (Astaghfirullah) and don't look up when making Du'a.
(CAUTION: when reading this last one, one may think that he should lower his status among men purposefully, to lower his posture and be lowly, but no. It is important that we walk among men as proud and upright as we can, to be strong, to be just and powerful, but only in front of Allah should we realize our triviality)
Don't make Du'a for matters corresponding to this world and neglect the Herafter.
One should also make Du'a on the small and big things in life, for nothing is too small, since everything, EVERYTHING, happens only by the will of Allah. Here's a story.
As I was reading the book, I was waiting for an airplane outbound to Qatar.
I read that one should make Du'a for the big things in life as well as the small. Now, I had a window seat on my boarding pass, but I always prefer lane seats as they provide more flexibility, so in my mind, I quietly said: "Allah, you are omnipotent and generous. Give me a way to get a lane seat."
In my mind, I thought I'd find someone who prefers window seats (they are common) and switch seats with them, but when I got on the airplane, I went to my window seat, and no one appeared in my row. I had the entire 3 seats by myself for a 10 hour flight. I asked Allah for a drop of water and he gave me a bucket. I asked him for 1 seat and he gave me three.

On a personal note: this book was written at a time when I myself was undergoing a great personal crisis. It was a time when I myself was turning to Allah, making du'a constantly and earnestly for a miracle to occur to save me from the situation that I was in. And it was while I was writing the final pages of this book, sitting in front of my computer, that a phone call from an absolutely unexpected source came, informing that, indeed, a miracle had occurred; and for Allah all matters are easy, for He only has to say, 'Kun', and it is! Verily, all praise is due to Allah, Who Hears the plea of the one in distress, Who is fully aware of the situation of the one who has been wronged, and Who grants justice to all.
Any Muslim that needs knowledge (about du'as) to put to use must read this book.

দুআ'ই ইবাদাত। দুয়া করার অর্থ হল আল্লাহর কাছে কিছু চাওয়া, অর্থাৎ নিজেদের অসহায়ত্বের কথা স্বীকার করে, মহান প্রতিপালকের কাছে চাওয়া, যার নিকট কোন কিছুর অভাব নেই, যিনি অসীম, অনন্ত ইত্যাদি স্বীকার করা।
বিশ্বাসীরা বিশ্বাস রাখে যে, অনন্যোপায় অবস্থায়ও দুআ এর মাধ্যমে পরিত্রাণ পাওয়া সম্ভব।
আর, এ দুআ কবুলের কিছু নিয়ম বা আদব-কায়দা আছে তা লেখক এখন বিভিন্ন কুরআনের আয়াত, হাদিস ও ইসলামিক ঘট��াবলির সাহায্যে যুক্তি সহকারে তুলে ধরার চেষ্টা করেছেন।
ইসলামকে যাঁরা বিভিন্ন যৌক্তিকতা বা অন্যান্য আঙ্গিকেও জানতে আগ্রহী তাঁরা এ বইটিও পড়ে দেখতে পারেন।
অনুবাদকৃত ইসলামিক বইগুলো পড়ার সময় প্রায়ই দেখা যায়, আরবি-ফারসির মিশ্রণ বা বেশিরভাগই পারিভাষিক শব্দ ব্যাবহারের কারণে, পাঠকগণের কাছে প্রায়ই দুর্বোধ্য হয়ে উঠে। বইটির অনুবাদক মাসুদ শরীফ যথেষ্ট সরলভাবে লেখাগুলো ফুটিয়ে তুলেছেন।

I found this book whilst exploring my favourite Islamic bookstore after reading Reclaim Your Heart by Yasmin Mogahed and was looking for something similar.
Dua is so important to me and this book has helped enormously in improving the quality and strength of my duas as well as being an extremely engaging and practical book. A lot of Islamic books can be quite difficult to get through but this was an easy and enjoyable read!
This book has also clarified many things for me outside of dua that apply to my own life, and I was moved by many of the sections from the Qur'an and Hadith included in the book. Although, I’m confused as to why Yasir Qadhi included some fabricated/very weak Hadith in this book (see page 144 footnote 290).
This book is a must read for all Muslims!

An excellent primer on the etiquettes and power of dua. It is a practical manual for healing and spiritual growth. Very accessible in language. The author does not presuppose any depth of knowledge with Islam. However, a person who is completely new to religion may need to consult with the dictionary of terms provided at the end of the book. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in furthering their own spiritual growth.

Alhamdulillah that I could finished the book finally. Unfortunately for my carelessness I stopped reading. It was great mistake! The book is really useful for every Muslim. What a powerful weapon Allah gave us we even don't realize. The book made me high about the power of Du'a. And the honorable write include many of useful things what to do or not in the book.

Excellent guide on the subject of Duaa. It entails not only the etiquettes of making dua but innovations and discouraged acts surrounding it that one must avoid. A book to be owned and referred to from time to time.

Yasir Qadhis book is a pioneering work whos topic is often neglected, dua. This is a definite read for any Muslim who doesn't have access to the arabic language yet is attracted to the faith and its concepts.

দুআ নিয়ে যেটুকু না জানলেই নয় একজন মুসলিম হিসেবে সেটুকু সুন্দর ভাবে আলোচনা করেছেন লেখক। কুরআন এবং হাদীসের অংশ গুলোর অনুবাদ একদম ভালো লাগে নি। আরো সুন্দর, সাবলীল শ্রুতি মধুর হওয়া উচিত ছিল। এছাড়া অনুবাদ সাবলীল।

I’m sad to say that reading this was a bit tedious because of the way it was written. Honestly, the content (when it wasnt repetitive) is comprehensive, detailed, and invaluable. I’m still glad I picked this up, because it’s exactly what I needed at the time, but I probably wouldn’t recommend this to someone who isn’t familiar w Dr. YQ or someone who isn’t a theology student.

This is a must read for all Muslims. Sheikh Yasir Qadhi provides useful information about dua. From the etiquettes of dua, to the cultural innovations that Muslims have adopted over the years from weak hadiths, and many more topics regarding dua. This book will equip Muslims with the neccessary knowledge to ask their creator for whatever they desire as long as they ask in accordance with the etiquettes of dua and that what they ask for is halal.
July 18, 2015
A highly recommended read. The author examines the importance of perfecting your dua which is a daily worship that Muslims do by seeking Allah's aid and protection. We tend to be hasty and oblivious in the etiquettes of dua and the reasons why it is not fulfilled. Hence this book clarifies the misconceptions and delves into factors that are blocking our dua. May Allah forgives and guides us in our quest and accept our dua. Ameen ya rabbil Alameen.

Not a 1 off read. It's a book that 1 may refer to from time to time as it's a collection of duá's for every day livin.
