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 Prayer That Shook My Soul: Finding Gratitude in the Ruins:

- I went to a masjid today that wasn't marked by towering minarets or grand domes. It was a humble prayer space tucked away inside the quiet confines of an old-age home campus. Places like these carry a specific kind of atmosphere. The air feels heavier, often thick with unspoken memories, quiet resignation, and the lingering echo of lives that once roared with activity but have now slowed to a whisper. I went there simply to offer my obligatory prayers. I left carrying a lesson that will stay engraved on my heart forever. As I stood in the rows, preparing myself, I found myself next to an elderly man. He was frail, his posture bent by the weight of time. He was an "inmate" here—a clinical word that felt too harsh for the gentle, weathered face I glimpsed. Later, I would learn the fragments of his story. He was a survivor of the brutal COVID era, a period that had swept through his life like a wildfire, taking almost his entire family with it. He was left behind in the a...

There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...

We shouldn’t be surprised children misbehave, they get it from their storybooks and cartoons which ''we'' provide:

My teacher, My inspiration - When life gives me tough time, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I remember your day in Taif:

* *In My Daily Life…* “When people trouble me, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I recall how the Makkans troubled you. When life gives me tough time, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I remember your day in Taif. When I find myself in grief, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I think what you must have gone through when Sayyidah Khadijah ؓ passed away. When I lose my dear ones, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I imagine what your situation must’ve been when you saw your children Sa’dātuna Qasim ؓ, Zainab ؓ, Ruqaiya ؓ, Umm Kulthum ؓ, Abdullah ؓ, and Ibraheem ؓ pass away in front of you. When I foresee an impending disaster in front of myself, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I imagine what you must’ve gone through when Sayyiduna Jibraeel ؑ informed you about Imam Husain’s ؓ martyrdom. When I see my siblings go against me, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I recall how you forgave your people - the polytheists of Makkah, who troubled you for 21 years, and tortured & killed your loved ones too. When people make mockery of me, Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ I admire how patiently you listened to t...
