Whoever prayed

The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said,
"Whoever prayed Ishaa in congregation (in Masjid), it is as if he stood up in prayer for half the night, and whoever prayed the Fajr in congregation (in Masjid), it is as if he prayed the whole night"
[Sahih Muslim].
Translation: Nasrin As.Salafiyah

there is a hour during the night,


The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "Indeed, there is a hour during the night, no Muslim man (woman) attains it asking Allah from the goods of the duniah and the akhirah except that Allah bestows it upon him (her), and that is every night" [Sahih Muslim]
*So, no need to stay up only 15th of Sha'ban to make dua to Allah to accept from you. Ok. You can do at any night of the year.

Dua for distress/anxiety

Invoke Me

He, the Most High said, "And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!" (Ghafir 40:60).
As-Shawkaanee rahimahu Allah said, "Indeed, He, subhanahu wa ta'ala ordered His servants to call on Him, then He said, 'Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!' That points out that the dua/supplication is an act of worship, and leaving off of supplicating to the Rabb subhanahu ta'ala is arrogance, and there is nothing uglier than this arrogance." [Tuhfatudth Zaakireen 28].
***May Allah give me and you tawfeeq to call on Him to give us what we desire. Allahumma Ameen, ya Rabb.

There is not a man who commits a sin

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu narrated, the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said:
"There is not a man who commits a sin, then he performs wudhu (ablution), then he prays - in another narration - (prays) two rakat, then seeks forgiveness of Allah, except that Allah forgives him"
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi reported the hadith, authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albanee].

Do not call upon yourself except

The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said,
"Do not call upon yourself except with good because the Angels say 'Ameen - May Allah accept' over what you say"
[Sahih Muslim].
