Time . Du'a (Supplication)

Which time is perfect for any Dua to get accepted?

Du'a can be accepted every time as far as we sincerely seek from Allah with the Waseela (mean) of His most beloved servants. Allah (SWT) Says in Quran : Seek from Me, I will respond to your supplications. This means that Du'a is accepted when ever you seek from Allah. Nevertheless, there are many special times where Du'a is more recommended like:

1. During Sojood (Prostration) because you will be very near to Allah while you are in prostration.

2. Between Azaan and Iqama.

3. Before sunrise and before sunset.

4. After every Salah (Prayer).

How can one deal with the feeling that one's prayers, Duas, love for Allah, and overall Iman is forced and fake?

Such feeling is from your worst enemy Shaitan who always tries to harm us through different ways. After knowing the source of the a satanic thoughts, we need to tackle it by seeking help and protection from Allah. Repeating Istighfaar and Salawaat and reciting Quran and Du'a are very useful.

Believers . Sunni . Salah (Prayers) . Salatul Layl . Du'a (Supplication) . Sunni-Shi'a . Friendship

In Salat al-Layl when I have to make Dua for 40 believers, should they just be Shia people or may I also mention a couple of good Sunni friends as well?

We seek forgiveness for every believer in Allah, the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Muslims friends who were born in non Shia families and have high regards for Ahlul Bayt need our prayers to understand the real position of Ahlul Bayt in Islam as the divine leaders after the Prophet (SAWA).

Jinn . Du'a (Supplication)

If you suspect someone near you is a victim of a Jinn, is there anything you can do for them to help them such as prayers and Duas?

All prayers and du'as are good. Sincerely and wholeheartedly beseeching Allah to assist a person and to seek tawassul of Ahl al-Bayt (A) in helping them is very powerful, for any problem. (This is, of course, for people who agree theologically with tawassul.)

Jinn . Du'a (Supplication)

If you suspect someone near you is a victim of a Jinn, is there anything you can do for them to help them such as prayers and Duas?

First of all, you should never tell any one or his family that he is a victim of Jinn. That telling itself can be a sinful act from you because of many reasons; A) You doubt about Jinn is not a concrete evidence that he is a definite victim of Jinn. B) Telling him or his family that he is a victim of Jinn will usually harm his mental state and make him feel defeated, helpless victim and negative.
Second point in such cases is to recite Quranic verses which help in protection, prevention as well as cure such as Ayatul Kursi, Sura Al-Falaq, Sura Al-Naas, Sura Al-Hamd and Sura Al-Tawheed and other Suras.

Reciting Quranic verses will help in any case whether he is been harmed by Jinn or not. It will help in protection and prevention as well as in cure.

Death . Sin . Du'a (Supplication)

I cannot control certain sins and am afraid. Can I make Dua for my death so that I won't sin anymore?

You are not allowed to pray for your death. Death will come when it comes.

Pray instead that Allah helps you to stop the sins or shows you a way to end them (for instance, if someone has an addiction, this could be an intervention that actually works), forgives the sins, and heals any harm to yourself or others they may have caused. If it is possible to make adjustments to your life to reduce or avoid the sins (such as moving to a different place or household), also do that.

Allah is all-powerful and things that seem like miracles happen!

Hope . Du'a (Supplication)

What can we do when we start to lose hope and give up on Dua?

We need to remind ourselves about these facts:

1. The Mercy of Allah is much greater that our imaginations and bigger than all the difficulties. Allah says in Quran : And My Mercy involved everything (Sura 7, Verse 156).

2. Allah is The Absolute Able to Grant whatever He wants to whomever He wants. We need to keep on seeking from Him and we should never lose hope in His Mercy.

3. We don't know when it will be good for us to get our wishes, so, we must trust Allah's Wisdom and Mercy which will definitely come whenever Allah Knows that it is good for us.
