Can we make Dua in mother tongue?

Can I supplicate in mother tongue?

Criteria for Dua, invocation and supplication

Preference for Dua and permissible Dua

 There is much good in the supplications that are narrated in reports( Dua mentioned in Quran and Hadith), but a person may need to offer supplication for himself or for a loved one for some of the good things of this world and the hereafter, or he may need to ask Allah to ward off some harm or evil from him. 

This kind of supplication is broad in scope, and he does not have to limit himself to what is narrated in reports.

Requirements for Dua:

Language of Dua is not important, Dua in Arabic is preferred:

 Focus and presence of mind, and sincerity in turning to Allah, may He be exalted, no matter what language one is speaking. Allah, may He be exalted, hears all voices and understands all languages, and not even an atom is hidden from Him on earth or in the heavens.

Avoid rhyming Dua:

It is also undesirable to try too hard to make one’s supplication rhyme, but if that happens without putting in extra effort, there is nothing wrong with it.

Supplication ( Dua) should come from heart

Supplication should stem from the heart and only express what is in the heart.

The one who is in desperate need calls upon Allah from his heart, in whatever phrases Allah enables him to say, spontaneously. This is something that every believer experiences in his heart. It is permissible to offer supplication in Arabic and in languages other than Arabic( Hindi, Urdu, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Indonesian...)

It is permissible to offer supplications in a language other than Arabic in the prayer, for one whose language that is, especially if it is difficult for him to learn Arabic. He may offer supplication and ask for whatever he wishes of goodness in this world and the hereafter, and it is not stipulated that it should have been narrated in reports.
