00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			I am from Karachi, Pakistan.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			I have a question that how does Allah
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			subhanahu wa ta'ala help us when we
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			put our efforts in something?
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			For example, when we attempt for an examination
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			and then we make dua to Allah subhanahu
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			wa ta'ala to help us pass the
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			examination.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			At that time, we have already attempted the
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			examination and the examiner is checking the examination
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			paper.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			So how does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			help us to pass the exam?
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			I know that Allah's help is beyond time,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			but I am confused.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			That how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala helps
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			in this situation.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			When we do dua to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			ta'ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			inshallah respond to our dua.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			But we should sincerely do dua to Allah
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			glorious Quran Surah Al-Baqarah, Chapter number 2,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			verse number 186 وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّعِيِ إِذَا دَعَانُ And when
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			my servant calls upon me, say I respond
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54
			to him.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			I respond to the call of the caller.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			So if we sincerely do dua to Allah
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			'ala will accept our dua.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			Now, when we appear for an examination, and
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			we do dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			'ala after the examination paper is over, and
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			we know for example that we have not
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			performed well, and we know for example that
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			we will fail in the examination, we do
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			And because of our sincere dua, we pass
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			the examination.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			How is it possible?
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			There are hundreds of ways in which Allah
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			subhanahu wa ta'ala can help you.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			For example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sees
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			to it that a lenient examiner is checking
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			your examination.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			For example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sees
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			to it that even though a strict person
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			is checking your examination, at that time, he
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			is lenient while he is checking the examination.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			He is in a good mood.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			So therefore, he gives you good marks.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			For example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sees
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			to it that the examiner, he gives you
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			grace marks.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sees to it
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
			that the examiner, he is very lenient while
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			he is checking the examination.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			So we can think only of a few
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			ways.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			But there are hundreds of ways in which
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can help you.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			I have just mentioned about three or four
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			ways.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			So if we do sincere dua to Allah
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			'ala will respond to our dua.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			And many a times, we think that we
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			will fail in the examination.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			But we do sincere dua to Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			wa ta'ala and we are shocked that
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			we pass in the examination.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			Many a times, we even get good marks.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			This is the power of dua.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			This is the power of supplication.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			The dua, it is the weapon of a
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			believer.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			And the more we do dua to Allah
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, the more it will
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			draw us closer towards Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			'ala.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			And if we do dua at specific times,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			there are more chances that our dua will
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			be accepted.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			For example, doing dua during the last one
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			third of the night.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			For example, doing dua during the month of
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			Ramadan.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			For example, doing dua before breaking our fast
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			in the month of Ramadan.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			For example, doing dua on the day of
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			Arafah.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			All of these are crucial times wherein we
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:12
			should do dua.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Unfortunately, many of us, we do not have
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			hope that our dua will be accepted.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			But if we truly have hope in Allah
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, and if we sincerely
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			call upon Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, He will respond to
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:28
			our dua.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			He will respond to our supplications.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			We know many non-Muslims who call upon
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			God.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			They don't even know regarding Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			ta'ala, but they search for the truth.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			And they are sincere and Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			ta'ala guides them.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			And they accept Islam.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			So if we do hard work, if we
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			put in efforts, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:50
			He will respond to us.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			And the more we call upon Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			wa ta'ala, the more He loves it.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			The more we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			'ala, the more Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			loves it.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			The more we do dua to Allah subhanahu
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			wa ta'ala, the more it will draw
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			us closer towards Him.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			So I hope that answers your question.
