7 Signs That Your Dua Will Be Accepted (With Quran & Hadith)

Salam Walekum, in today’s article, we will learn in detail about the signs that your dua will be accepted or not, so you can find out whether Allah Ta’ala has accepted it.

When we face any adversity or need to ask Allah (SWT) for something, Dua is the only way we can express our hearts’ feelings to Him and ask for what we need.

However, it is often seen that when a person prays with a sincere heart and complete faith, they are curious to know whether Allah (SWT) is accepting their dua.

When they can’t know this, their faith wanes, and they stray from Islam.

Therefore, through this article, we will tell you about some signs that can help you determine whether Allah (SWT) has accepted your prayers or not.

Understanding the Concept of Accepted Dua

There is no doubt that in Islam, dua is the only resource that powerfully connects you to Allah (SWT) and empowers you to achieve anything.

It is a powerful form of worship that demonstrates our humility and faith in Allah Tala.

Whenever you raise your hands in dua, Allah (SWT) hears them and always responds in the best possible way, even if we cannot see Him.

We must always keep in mind that the acceptance of a dua does not mean that what we have asked for will be fulfilled immediately.

Sometimes Allah (SWT) accepts our dua immediately, sometimes He postpones it for a better time, and sometimes He even replaces it with something greater.

We should never forget that a dua made from a genuine heart will definitely reach Allah Tala. Remember, no effort or tears are ever wasted.

“Either Allah grants what he asked for immediately, or He saves it for him in the Hereafter, or He averts from him a similar harm.”

(Tirmidhi 3381)

Therefore, you should always keep in mind that whenever you are asking for something from Allah Taala through Dua, you don’t need to get it there itself, but Allah Taala must give you what is right for you and your soul and what is right for your future.

Signs that your dua will be accepted

Now we are going to tell you about those signs by which you can find out whether your dua has been accepted or not.

These signs don’t always mean immediate results, but they show that Allah (SWT) has heard your call and that your dua is on the path of acceptance.

1. If, while praying, you feel that you are feeling very soft from inside and sometimes tears are coming in your eyes, then this is a big sign that Allah Ta’ala likes your heart. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad has also said that “Allah Ta’ala likes the heart of the one who remains humble and soft during dua.”
2. When you pray with complete faith that Allah (SWT) will certainly answer your dua, it increases the chances that Allah (SWT) will hear your dua because of your faith. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad said, “Call upon Allah and have faith that He will answer you.” Tirmidhi 3479
3. If you feel inspired to repeat the same dua over and over again, it is a sign that Allah Ta’ala has placed it in your heart simply because He plans to fulfill it at the right time.
4. After praying regularly, when you feel that the environment around you has become positive and people have started treating you well, then it is a big sign that your duaa is being answered.
5. If you see good things in your dreams while sleeping at night, then it is a very big positive sign that Allah (SWT) is accepting your dua.
6. If you are praying for someone else besides yourself and are constantly including other people in your dua, then Allah Taala accepts it quickly and responds to it immediately.
7. If you are seeing something new in your life that you had never imagined and everything is going as you wanted, then it is a big sign that your dua is being answered.

Signs that your dua is rejected

We must be mindful that Allah Ta’ala never completely rejects the dua of His devotees.

However, sometimes, for some reason, Allah Ta’ala delays or withholds the acceptance of du’as that are not good for you.

Now we will tell you about some signs by which you can find out that your dua has been rejected.

1. Even after praying, if there is no peace in your heart and you are feeling extremely disturbed and your faith is waning, then this is a big sign that Allah Taala has not yet accepted your dua.
2. If you are constantly praying but your dua or lifestyle involves haraam things, your dua may be hindered. Our Prophet Muhammad also said this about “A person who prays and raises his hands, but his food, drink, and clothing are haraam. How can his dua be accepted?” (Sahih Muslim 1015)
3. After praying, never say, “I prayed continuously, but nothing happened.” Doing so shows impatience. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad also warned against this, saying, “Your prayers will be answered.” Of course, don’t be impatient and say, I prayed, but my prayers were not answered.” Sahih Bukhari 6340 Sahih Muslim 2735.
4. If you are praying and it involves sin or harming another person, your dua will not be accepted. Allah (SWT) responds to pure and good deeds.
5. If you pray consistently and your heart is clear, but you prioritize pride in your personal life, your du’a are less likely to be answered. Allah (SWT) always quickly listens to the dua of those who are humble.
6. The most important thing is that whenever you are going to pray, if you do not thank Allah (SWT) for the things that He has already given you before praying, then even in such a situation, Allah (SWT) does not accept your prayer as soon as possible, and you see a delay in it. “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you.” (Surah Ibrahim 14:7)

Whenever you face a need or difficulty, recite Dua for Hajat to ask Allah (SWT) for guidance and support.
