السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته When we recite an āyah during qiyām al-layl that contains a command to make duʿā’, such as “Call upon Me and I will respond to you,” is it permissible for us to pause and make our own personal duʿā’ at that point? ‎جزاك اللهُ خيرً

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

It was reported that the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would ask Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) from His bounty. This was reported, and Allah knows best.
