Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei
Tracking code: #Q-2861

Teacher, what is best to do before making du'a? For example, I perform wudu before praying and go to my room to sit facing the qibla. I pray for everyone, especially those who have entrusted me with their worries and asked me to pray for the sick. Sometimes, when I remember during art class or at school, I pray silently in my heart.

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

Before making du'a, perform wudu and sit facing the qibla. With a pure and tender heart, first speak privately with God. After expressing your love for Him a few times, begin your supplication.

After performing ablution, sit facing the qibla and speak privately with God from your pure, tender heart. Say “O God, I love You” a few times, expressing your love for the One you worship, and then begin your supplication.
