Best time for make Dua

There are certain times dua (supplication) is more likely to be Accepted by Allah 
(Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) as mentioned by Prophet (salAllahu Alayhi wasalam). These 
times are as follows: 


1. The Last Third Of The Night
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi 
wasalam) said: ‘In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah 
(Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)) descends 
To the lowermost heaven and says; “Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who 
is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may 
forgive him?” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi] 
Amr ibn Absah narrated that the Prophet said: ‘The closest any worshipper can be to His 
Lord is during the last part of the night, so if you can be amongst those who remember 
Allah at that time, then do so.’  [at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa’i, al-Hakim - Sahih] 


2. Late At Night
When people are sleeping and busy with worldly pleasures Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) 
gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for whatever they need. 
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘There is at night an hour, no Muslim 
happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will 
be given it, and this (occurs) every night.’ [Muslim #757] 


3. Between Adhan and Iqamah
Anas (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 
‘A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.’ 
[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai 
and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)] 


4. An Hour On Friday
Narrated Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu): Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) 
talked about Friday and said: ‘There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while 
offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), then Allah 
(Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) will definitely meet his demand.’ And he (the Prophet (salAllahu 
alayhi wasalam) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands. 
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
