Duaa Garden :
I begin my duaa by praising Allah (with any duaa of praise, but mostly with *Alhamdulillahi hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubarakan feehi kama yuhibbu Rabbuna wa yardha*: “All praise belongs to Allah, abundant, good, and blessed praise, as much as our Lord loves and is pleased with”).
If I’m in the last sajdah, since “Subhana Rabbiyal A’la” is already an expression of praise, I then thank Him in my own words for what I already have, followed by saying “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen” three times. Then I use a general duaa in Arabic, asking for goodness without specifying exactly what, like the one in the photo (my favourite duaa). After that, I ask for what I want in my own words, and then I finish with “La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin.”
Most of my duaas are made in the last sajdah, so I don’t include salawat upon the Prophet SAW within the duaa itself, since the salah already includes it. However, when I make duaa outside the salah, I do include it somewhere near the beginning. So, my sequence is: praise, salawat, duaa, thanking Allah for what I already have, acknowledging that He has been so merciful and generous to me all along and has always treated me that way, then asking for what I want, and finally ending with “La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin.” (I do this because I’m flawed in so many ways, and even when it comes to good things I want, there is always something to repent for, even when I don’t realise it.)
