Prayed to Allah after the dawn of the 27th night of Ramadan

Question

 

Please answer my question clearly. I prayed in Du'aa (supplications) to Allah after the day of Laylatul Qadr, in long Du'aa, just right after Fajr Salah and when the sun was beginning to rise. Now my question is, Does my prayer have a chance to be accepted by Allah, because it was done after Fajr Salah; that's the time when Salah is forbidden. Was it right for me to pray at that time, I did this supplications and Du'aa right after the I'tikaaf of Laylatul Qadr and after the time of when Fajr Salah was over.

 

Answer

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, may Allah exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

It is permissible to supplicate during the times when the prayer is disliked or prohibited. It is the prayer that is disliked at those times and not the supplications; rather, the mention of Allah and supplications are desirable during this time as it is the time of the legislated morning mention of Allah. The Prophet said: "Whoever prays Fajr in congregation and sits mentioning Allah until sunrise, then prays two Raka'h, he will get a complete reward of Hajj and 'Umrah, (he repeated 'complete reward' thrice)." [At-Tirmithi]

Finally, it should be noted that the most preponderant opinion about the Night of Decree is that it is not definite and constant, but it is an odd numbered night during the last ten days of Ramadan. The night ends by the commencing of the time of dawn.

 

Allah Knows best.
