When I want to make a Du?aa in my own language, outside of Salaat, is it better for me to go into Sajda and beg of Allah S.W.T., if so, which way should my palms face?
Answer
To fulfil an act according to the Sunnah is the most effective way of Qubooliyyah (acceptance) of the act in the sight of Allah. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to make Du'aa in the Sajda of the Nafl Salaat.
It is also permissible to make Du'aa in Sajdah posture, but out of Salaat. In such a case the palms will be placed on the ground, in line with the ears.
