How to make the angels pray for you?
Isn’t it common that our fellow brothers and sisters ask us to do dua for them?
We reply to them, “Insha Allah surely I will make dua”; However, Do we really make dua for our fellow brothers and sisters?
If we knew the echoing benefit of doing it, would we do it even when it is not asked?
Insha Allah, surely we will… Here is the reason:
Abu Dharr reported that Allaah’s Messenger (SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: There is no believing servant who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence) that the Angels do not say: The same be for you too. (Muslim)

How is Du’aa answered?
- Allah grants the person what he asks for as he asks for it right away.
- Allah, instead, removes a calamity in the future of that person, similar to what he asked for.
- Allah saves it for him for the Hereafter.

Subhan Allah! It has happened to me soooooooooooooooo many times that I do make dua for my brothers and sisters and I get to know later that my duas were answered by Allah.
I remember my duas being answered immediately praying for those who wanted jobs, children, etc, Alhamdulillah.
Surely Dua is a believers weapon.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Any Muslim who makes a supplication containing nothing which is sinful, or which involves breaking ties of relationship, will be given for it by Allah one of three things:
1. He will give him swift answer,
2. or store it up for him in the next world,
3. or turn away from him an equivalent amount of evil."
Those who heard it said they would then make many supplications and he (peace be upon him) replied that Allah was more ready to answer than they were to ask! (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith)
