Dua is an Arabic word. Its meaning is to seek something. According to Islamic Shariyah the meaning of dua is to seek something to Allah jalla jalaaluhu.
Some rules to make dua:
1. At the beginning of dua, say some words regarding the praise of Allah jalla jalaaluhu. Then send darud towards the messenger of Allah jalla jalaaluhu.
2. Make dua attentively.
3. You will believe that Allahu tawala will accept your dua.
4. During dua you will raise your hands and you will keep the iiner parts of your hands to the face.
5. You will make dua until you get your desired asking.
6. You will dua secretly and potilely.
7. You will try to make dua during good time and in good places.
8. It is suitable to make dua when you are in a state of wudu.
9. You will try to make dua when you are towards Kaba.
Importace to make dua:
Allahu tawala said in the Suratul Gaafir,
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ
Meaning:
And your Lord said: "And ask Me for anything I will respond to your asking. Verily! Those who are arogant about My worship, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"
So Allahu tawala said to seek to Him and He promised that He will accept the dua. Dua itself is a prayer. If somebody makes the dua that are described in the Quran and the hadis is appreciable and accepted. But one can make dua in his own language and he can also seek something to Allahu tawala which are permissible in the Islam.
Only Allahu tawala can remove poverty
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ نَزَلَتْ بِهِ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْزَلَهَا بِالنَّاسِ لَمْ تُسَدَّ فَاقَتُهُ وَمَنْ نَزَلَتْ بِهِ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْزَلَهَا بِاللَّهِ فَيُوشِكُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِرِزْقٍ عَاجِلٍ أَوْ آجِلٍ
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ
Meaning:
Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"Whoever faces poverty and expresses it to the people, his poverty will not end. And whoever faces poverty and expresses it to Allah, Allah will send provisions to him, sooner or later."

And He is all-hearing and all-knowing” – then nothing can do harm to him. Next Rabi said that Aban was in paralysis. So the listener looked at him. Then Aban said that are you looking at me? Surely the hadis that I narrated exactly that. But I did not practise this duya on that day, then Allah imposed on me what was in my destiny before.
The duya is mentioned in the below with pronunciation:
- بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِيْ لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهٖ شَيْءٌ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ
