Making Dua in Sajda<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

Question:
\nIs it permissible, under the Shariah, to make supplication (Du’a) while one is in Sajdah? It is commonly observed that some people after completing their prayer (salah) fall in sajdah and offer supplications in that position. Please explain the correct way in this respect.<\/p>\n

Answer:
\nSupplication during sajdah is permissible, but the following points should alway be kept in mind:
\n(a) While offering sajdah in a regular prayer (salah) the medium of supplication should always be Arabic language. It is not permissible to use any other language during salah.
\n(b) One should restrict himself, as far as possible, to the supplications contained in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah. How ever, if one likes to pray in his own Arabic words, the prayers should be restricted to those things only which cannot be asked from a human being, such as
\n\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0645 \u0627\u063a\u0641\u0631\u0644\u064a \u0648\u0644\u0632\u0648\u062c\u062a\u064a \u0648\u0644\u0623\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062f\u064a
\n“O Allah, forgive my sins and the sins of my wife and my children.”
\nThis Arabic supplication is permissible because forgiveness of sins can be asked from a human being cannot be asked in a prayer offered while performing salah, such as (O Allah, make me marry such and such women). If somebody prays for such mundane things which can be asked from a human being also, the salah will be rendered void, even if the medium of prayer is Arabic language.
\n(c) Although offering supplications during sajdah is permissible with the conditions mentioned above, it is more advisable to avoid it during the Fard salah, and restrict it to the Nawafil only.
\nAll the rules mentioned above relate to the supplications offered in a sajdah which forms part of salah. However, if someone makes a sajdah out of salah for the purpose of supplication only, there is no prohibition, nor is it necessary to observe the conditions mentioned in (a),(b) or (c) above. In such a position one can pray in whatever language one deems fit.
\nIt is, therefore, permissible to make sajdah for the purpose of supplication after the salah is over. However, this should not be made a permanent practice after every salah, because the Holy Prophet, salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to make dua after salah in a sitting position, and it is in no way advisable to leave this sunnah of the Holy Prophet, salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, forever.<\/p>\n
