The Conditions for the Dua to be Accepted
We want our Dua's to be effective as a medicine. The following things prevent it from working as a cure:
1) If the Dua itself is not a good Dua (e.g. Someone cursing another, invoking destruction for someone else, etc) it won't be effective.
2) If what the person says is not in harmony with his heart. He's contradicting his دعاء.
How can you ask a King while your mind is somewhere else? And Allah knows what's in your heart.
3) Other things preventing it such as his food, money, clothes being حرام.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Allah the Almighty is good and accepts only that
which is good. And verily Allah has commanded the
believers to do that which He has commanded the
Messengers. So Allah has said: "O (you)
Messengers! Eat of the tayyibat (good things), and
perform righteous deeds" [23:51] and Allah has said:
"O you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that We
have provided you" [2:172]. Then he (peace be upon
him) mentioned a man who, having journeyed far, is
dishevelled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands
to the sky saying, "O Lord! O Lord!" while his food
is haram, his drink is haram, his clothing is haram,
and he has been nourished with haram, so how
can[his supplication] be answered?"
[Muslim]
The mind, the religious texts, and the Fitrah (natural disposition), all agree that being close to Allah and seeking His pleasure and goodness and Ihsan to His creation is from the greatest reasons to get all goodness and to be protected from all evil.
And the opposite of this is one of the greatest reasons to all evil.
There's nothing better than being close to Allah, obeying Him, and being good to His creation.
If you want immunity from all evil and diseases, get close to Allah. Make your main concern the pleasure of Allah and getting closer to Him. But if you get close to the people and get eager for them, it'll bring evil to you.
In the Hadith of Ibn Abbas:
"احفظ الله يحفظك"
These remedies are available all the time, there are no side-effects, the dosage is unlimited. It just requires your heart.
