Amazing Accounts of Du’a Being Accepted

Amir al-Mu’mineen, the second Caliph of Islam, Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Khattab رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ has said:

Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has said: “O beloved! Du'a is a bird, and salat upon the Prophet is its shehpar (the biggest feather in a bird’s wing). Can a bird fly without its wings?”
In the wings of birds, its most important feather is known as its shehpar in the Urdu language. Without this, a bird cannot fly. Similarly, du'a is like a bird, and salat upon the Prophet is like the critically important feather within it. When a bird cannot fly without this, then how will a du'a without salat be accepted?[4]
We should recite salat upon the Prophet abundantly, whether standing, sitting, walking, and in particular, we must recite salat in the
