Haitham al-Haddad – The Right way to Communicate with Allah – Make Dua

			It is very unfortunate. I visited a country.
		

			One time, we stayed in in one place,
		

			and I was mixing with the
		

			elders of that country. And one of them,
		

			he said to
		

			me, one big problem that we learned through
		

			the system in this country, the religious system
		

			in this country,
		

			is that
		

			we don't make individual dua. It has to
		

			be what?
		

			With the imam. This is a big problem,
		

			that individuals
		

			don't make dua whenever they want.
		

			Yeah? Don't do this brothers
		

			and sisters, train yourself what? Train yourself to
		

			beg Allah in
		

			the street,
		

			when you are driving,
		

			when you enter your home, and
		

			you see
		

			that you have your wife,
		

			you have your children, the
		

			prophet said, brothers, try this.
		

			You know, when you see the pictures of
		

			those brothers and sisters in Gaza,
		

			no shelter.
		

			Yeah?
		

			Ambutated.
		

			Bombed last night,
		

			cold,
		

			very hungry,
		

			from all angles,
		

			and then you enter your home
		

			peace.
		

			Children around you, you are safe in your
		

			in your body.
		

			Yeah,
		

			your your wealth is there,
		

			you should be so grateful to Allah
		

			don't ever neglect
		

			saying Alhamdulillah,
		

			Alhamdulillah,
		

			And when you feel that make dua,
		

			make dua,
		

			the moments when your hearts
		

			are
		

			pure and humble before Allah communicate
		

			with Allah
		

			Beg him.
		

			You don't need a particular language. You don't
		

			need a particular etiquette.
		

			You need you don't need to be in
		

			a particular situation.
		

			You don't need a specific dua. Many people
		

			say, I don't know how to do dua.
		

			You cannot say you Allah give me this,
		

			you Allah give me that, just like this
		

			in a casual way.
