Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh

I have this confused state of mind regarding du'a. I have heard from many people that making du'a in any other language other than arabic is not to be done in Fard salah. It MAY be done in supererogatory prayers...but it's better to do them in arabic if one knows the language. If that is the case then WHEN CAN I MAKE DU'A IN ENGLISH? IF NOT IN SALAH WHEN? HOW CAN I EXPRESS MYSELF TO ALLAH THE LORD OF THE WORLDS?VEEEEEEEEeeeeery confused!! :(..if not in salah, can i do it while walking, just sitting down and reflecting over things etc....?WHEN? Also, when should a du'a be made in salah? After tasleem or before? if some one could help me in this issue please...i am in need of clarification...Jazak ALLah

you are right that you cannot make dua in non-arabic in fard salaah.

when you can make duas in ur language (i.e. english) after salaah, before/after eating, before/after sleeping, etc.. in other words...anytime you like. :)

some of the best times are:
1. during sajdah
2. after fard salaah
3. between adhan and iqamah
