Sometimes after finishing praying with the Salam I raise my hands & make Dua to Allah in my language (since I can’t speak Arabic). I know that dua should be said while still in the prayer but I struggle with memorizing long Arabic Duas & feared of making my prayers invalid if I say it in my language. Is that allowed? I don’t do it routinely & dont do it in congregation.

Please tell me whether what I am doing is good or wrong: before sleeping I cup my hands, blow in it and say the 3 Quls and wipe my body. I do this three times. Then I recite Surah Al Mulk and Ayatul Kursi. To finish things off, I recite Al Kafiroon as I read a hadith about it preventing you from Shirk. Is what I am doing good? Thank you.

ANSWER: No. It’s only done in the place you’re physically in. However when you recite your daily adhkar, there’s a Dua in it for protecting your wealth and children. You will find these and other Sunnah supplications for throughout the day and night in a small booklet called ‘Hisnul Muslim’, in English it’s called ‘Fortress […]
