As salam alekum wa ruhmutallahi wa barakatu
No one has faith in Allah anymore man, and its saddening. The creator of the universe and we can't cut him some slack? Just cause we don't have our prayers answered instantly, or at all we think hes not listening. But has it occured to us that maybe our Lord has something else planned? Allah says if he doesn't answer your du'ah then he will replace what you asked for with something better than it, in Jenna or now. Seriously Muslims need more sabr.
My mother had a dispute a while back about the car. She was CONVINCED she was going to crash it or the brakes where going to go out because of "hasood" (the evil eye). Now I agre the person she was talking about does have an envious gaze. But seriously is his "power" greater than that of Allah? For two weeks we fought about why she should just get in the car and have ome faith in her Lord. I tried to explain to her that these things don't affect believers unless they don't do their du'ahs, and masha'Allah she does do all her du'ahs, but somethings missing in her equation. YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH! You gotta believe that Allah is gonna back you up! Or else He's not gonna bother. If He does it is from His and if not it is from His hikim(wisdom). You need to have faith guys. Just make du'ah. We can't forget the words of Allah. Surah Al Falaq is a surah we recite all the time, in salat or before bed etc. But do we even listen to the message anymore?
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَق
Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak,
مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
"From the evil of what He has created;
وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
"And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away).
وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ
"And from the evil of the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots,
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
"And from the evil of the envier when he envies."
Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
Yah Allah do we need anymore proof? Allahs words always speak for themselves :)
So guys when you are down in the dumbs and it doesn't seem like He's answering, remember He was listening and insha'Allah you will get your reward. Ameen. Always have faith and insha'Allah you have nothing to worry about in this world and in the next. Ameen.
I recited these verses for my mom and she thought about it for a while. Got into the car,and it was fine hehe.
