The Importance of Dua for Protection

Making dua for protection from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the fire is highlighted as being more beneficial than asking for a long life with specific durations or sustenance that are already set by Allah. The Prophet SAW emphasized that Allah's timing is precise, and it is better to seek protection from grave and fire punishments. While asking for a long life is permissible, the focus should be on making dua that aligns with seeking Allah's pleasure and protection for the hereafter.
