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.
What should we do before making du’a?
