Can we make dua in our own language?

Fatwa

Yes, it is allowed to make dua in your own language, especially when asking for personal needs. However, Arabic duas from the Qur’an and Sunnah are الأفضل (better), and should be used when possible. Allah understands all languages and knows what is in the heart.
