Things which may prevent du’aa’ from being answered:

⚫1⃣ When the du’aa’ is weak in itself,

🔻because it involves something inappropriate, or
🔻 involves bad manners towards Allaah,ﷻ,
🔻or it is inappropriate, which means asking Allaah for something which it is not permitted to ask,

▪e.g.
🔗 when a man asks to live forever in this world,
🔗or he asks for a sin or something haraam,
🔗or he prays that he will die, and so on.

✨Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

*“A person's du’aa’s will continue to be answered so long as he does not pray for something sinful or for the breaking of family ties.”*
〰Muslim.〰

▬▣◾🔘◾▣▬

⚫2⃣ When the person who is making du’aa’ is weak in himself, because he is faint-hearted in his turning towards Allaah.

💢 This may be either because of bad manners towards Allaah(ﷻ)

such as
🔻raising his voice in du’aa
🔻or making du’aa in the manner of one who thinks he has no need of Allaah;or
🔻because he pays too much attention to the wording and tries to come up with unnecessarily ornate phrases, without paying attention to the meaning;or
🔻 because he tries too hard to weep or shout without really feeling it,or he goes to extremes in that.

▬▣◾🔘◾▣▬

⚫3⃣ Consuming haraam wealth.

🔺 *This is one of the major reasons why du’aa’s are not answered.*

✨Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet ﷺ said:

*“O people, Allaah is Good and only accepts that which is good. Allaah commanded the pious to follow the same commandments as He gave to the Messengers.*

●He says,
🌺 *‘O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful) foods which Allaah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits)] and do righteous deeds. Verily, I am Well-Acquainted with what you do’*
〰[al-Mu’minoon 23:51]〰

🌺 *‘O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with’*
〰[al-Baqarah 2:172]〰

● Then he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) mentioned a man who has travelled on a long journey and is dishevelled and covered with dust; he stretches forth his hands to the heaven, (saying)
“O Lord, O Lord”,
🔻 But his food is haraam,
🔻 his drink is haraam,
🔻 all his nourishment is haraam,
▪so how can the du’aa be accepted❓”
〰Muslim〰

〰▪The man described by the Prophet (ﷺ) had some of the characteristics which help du’aa’s to be answered

🔺– he was travelling and
🔺- he was in need of Allaah,
🔺– but the fact that he consumed haraam wealth prevented his du’aa’ from being answered.

✨⚜We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.

▬▣◾🔘◾▣▬

⚫4⃣ Trying to hasten the response.

✨Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

*“The du’aa of any one of you will be answered so long as he is not impatient and says, ‘I made du’aa’ but it was not answered.’”*
〰al-Bukhaari and Muslim.〰

▬▣◾🔘◾▣▬

⚫5⃣ Making the du’aa’ conditional, such as saying,

🔺 “O Allaah, forgive me if You will” or
🔺 “O Allaah, have mercy upon me if You will.”

🌹 The person who makes du’aa has to be
🔸resolute in his supplication,
🔸striving hard and
🔸 earnestly repeating his du’aa’.

✨The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

*“Let not any one of you say, ‘O Allaah, forgive me if You will, O Allaah, have mercy on me if You will.’ Let him be resolute in the matter, whilst knowing that no one can compel Allaah to do anything.”*
〰al-Bukhaari and Muslim.〰

▬▣🔺◾●❍⭕🔘⭕❍●◾🔺▣▬

🌹 In order for du’aa’s to be answered,

🔹it is not essential to adhere to all of these points
🔹 and be free of all that could prevent one’s du’aa’s from being answered.
✨🌟That is something which happens very rarely.
🌹🌺 But one has to try hard and strive towards achieving this.

❗✨ Another important point is to realize that the response to the du’aa’ may take different forms:

🔹 either Allaah will respond and fulfil the desire of the person who made the du’aa’,or
🔹 He will ward off some evil from him because of the du’aa’, or
🔹He will make something good easy for him to attain because of it, or
🔹He will save it with Him for him on the Day of Resurrection when he will be most in need of it.
🌹And Allaah knows best.🌹

The moment we realize that everything happens by the will of Allaah, all our worries begin to fade away:

- (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl. Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!! That's nasty...you would say!! But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!* Splish...splash! To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it! And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop. She didn't understand how harmful that was for her. In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed. And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either. She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way. It would take two of us just to hold her down! To her, it was nothing but *torture*! Her innocent little mind...

A believer's story of a Quarintine:

Assalamu Alaikum Alhamdhulillah ... By the grace of Almighty Allah, I reached home yesterday by the Delhi... Trivandrum special train. And now I'm under home quarantine for two weeks in the upper flat of our residence. My children and grandchildren are all away, so strict quarantine is made easy. I request you all to make Dhua for ease. We started for Nizaamudheen on the 11th of February, from Kollam ( Ab. Kareem Sb of Poredam, Thaha Sr of Pattazy and myself ), to spend two months in Nizaamudheen Markaz for Thartheeb. But eventually, as you know, things took a different course. Insha Allah, it will be exactly 4 months on 11th June, when we finish the ongoing quarantine. We were put in forced quarantine for 58 days in 4 different quarantine camps in Delhi without periodic tests. The entire Ramadhaan and Edul Fithr was spent in the camps. We had the unique distinction of having total vegitarian food for a full Ramadhaan and even on t...

Why Pork (pig meat) is Haram in Islam? Some scientific observations:

Why Pork is Haram in Islam ~ In the Qur'an Allah has forbidden pork. Do you know that pork is forbidden by Jews, and its forbidden in Bible too. 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins re...

His famous saying, “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave,” underscores the importance of continuous learning: The kind teacher-

- While majority are celebrating Teacher's Day, below is my reflection about a teacher: *Prophet Muhammad: A Teacher for All Times* Prophet Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is not only revered as a religious figure but is also celebrated as a remarkable teacher whose teachings continue to inspire and guide millions of people across the globe. His role as a teacher extends far beyond the boundaries of religion, and his teachings serve as a timeless source of wisdom and guidance for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. *The Role of Prophet Muhammad as a Teacher Moral and Ethical Guidance:* Prophet Muhammad’s teachings are characterized by a strong emphasis on moral and ethical values. He taught the importance of honesty, integrity, compassion, and justice. His actions and sayings, recorded in Hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet), provide a profound moral compass for individuals striving to lead virtuous lives. *Social Justice:* The Prophet advocated for social justic...

The salaf would be happy and optimistic when worldly difficulties stuck them:

- Worldly Difficulties | - The Salaf would be happy and optimistic when something of this world became difficult for them. I never quite understood this statement. Were they happy and optimistic because a difficulty meant eventual ease, as is Allāh’s promise? Was it out of anticipation of a fulfilment of a worldly need? Or was there something more to it? Then it occurred to me after many years of returning to this statement that a man who sets out to find work and finds it easily and effortlessly is a man who misses out on a grand opportunity of begging Allāh and raising his worries and concerns to Him. The man who faces road blocks inevitably finds himself humble, submissive and desperate at the door of Allāh ﷻ. A man who goes in search of a job, a wife, a car, a home, some wealth and gets it readily each and every time isn’t necessarily successful. A man who can easily dip into his plentiful resources and fulfil a need perhaps misses out on the opportunity of turning to Allāh in...

Eid al-Adha Mubarak:

- Eid al-Adha teaches us lessons of devotion and sacrifice. The obedience to Allah, the sacrifice, and the selfless loyalty of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, and Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), peace be upon him, were so beloved by Allah, the Lord of all creation, that He decreed them to be observed by believers until the Day of Judgment. On this blessed and joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha, with reliance on the Almighty Allah and adherence to the teachings of His Prophets, and with prayers for the establishment of unity and solidarity worldwide, this humble servant extends Eid al-Adha greetings to you and your family.
