What is the acceptable duration for prostration (sujud) and supplication (du'a) when intensely imploring for the opening of closed doors, and what is the way to achieve this?
To find delight in prostration () and to draw closer to your Lord, feel that you are in the closest state to Allah, and supplicate frequently. Emulate the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in prolonging prostration, for prayer was the comfort of his eyes and the rest for those who love Allah. Reflect on the states of the Salaf (pious predecessors) and ask Allah to grant you the love of prostration. Know that finding delight in obedience comes after striving against the self and staying away from sins. The minimum duration for prostration is to say "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) once. The is to say it three times, and the maximum is ten times for the Imam or one praying alone. Utilize the opportunity of prostration to increase your supplications.
