?Do not weaken nor lose hope while making Duaa

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Do not lose hope and do not despair. Verily Allaah سبحانه و تعالى listens to your duaa.

Don’t you see, how He تعالى sustains both the Muslims and Kuffaar? He تعالى provides for the Kuffaar even when they have rejected Him and are disobedient to Him and associate partners with Him.

So if He تعالى provides for them, don’t you think He تعالى will provide for you more because you are calling on Him alone?

Always have good thoughts about Allaah تعالى that He تعالى alone accepts your duaa. And also know that the problem lies on our part, it is not delay in the acceptance of the duaa, rather it is His تعالى Wisdom which we fail to understand. Even in this so called “delay”, there is Mercy for us.

On our part, we should trust Him and pray sincerely to Him, with determination that He تعالى WILL accept our prayers. And we should also take care that we are away from sins and all that which causes His wrath and all which prevents the duaa from being accepted.

And this is what is required from us when He تعالى said:

➡{And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). SO LET THEM OBEY ME AND BELIEVE IN ME, SO THAT THEY MAY BE LED ARIGHT.}
?[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 186]

So do not weaken and do not grieve for verily your prayers with Allaah جل وعلا are never lost:

➡Abu Saeed رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “No Muslim supplicates to Allaah (تعالى) with a Duaa that does not involve sin or cutting the ties of the womb, except that Allaah (تعالى) will grant him (the Muslim) one of three things. He (تعالى) will either hasten the response to his supplication, or save it for him until the Aakhirah (Hereafter), or would turn an equivalent amount of evil away from him.” They said: “What if we were to recite more (Duaa)?” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “There is more (blessings) with Allaah.”

?[Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (11133); and al-Adab al-Mufrad of Imaam al-Bukhaaree (710) and in (711) on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه similar to this. And Shaikh al-Albaanee graded both the chains as “Saheeh”]
