Maryam Amir – A story of hope in duaa

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

If you need hope that Allah answers your

00:00:01 --> 00:00:02

dua, listen to this.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

I was speaking to my friend this morning.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

She just came back from Umrah and I

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

asked her how did it happen because it

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

was kind of like seemed like a last

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

minute thing and she told me that she

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

had actually been in the masjid a few

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13

weeks ago.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

She listened to beautiful recitation of the imam.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

It touched her heart so much and she's

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

been making dua for years to go for

00:00:20 --> 00:00:20

Umrah.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

She just keeps asking Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

'ala to invite her and her family whenever

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

is best but in this moment she was

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

so moved by the recitation.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

She wanted to be at the house of

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so badly that

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

she called out and made dua asking Allah

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39

to invite her and her family for Umrah

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

the next month in October in a particular

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

week of October because her kids were off

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

school and she also made dua that her

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

sister would be blessed with being invited to.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

She goes home, she just sat home and

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

a few hours later she gets a text

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

message from her sister and her sister says

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

would you like to go for Umrah with

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

me and she tells her that she wants

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

to take care of the Umrah.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

It's going to be here and her sister

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

and their families and she asked if she

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

can go on that particular week in October

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

when their kids are off school so they

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

can go together and my friend started crying

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

and she told me be bold in your

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16

dua.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

Be bold in your dua because Allah subhanahu

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

wa ta'ala answers and I know right

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

now because of and Sudan and so many

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

places of his Ummah my car just got

00:01:27 --> 00:01:27

hit.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

Sometimes you may have said exactly what the

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

Qur'an states until the messenger and those

00:01:33 --> 00:01:39

believers with him said where or when when

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

is the victory of Allah and Allah affirms

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

that Allah's victory is near and I know

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

that sometimes we see what is happening and

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

we think where is the answer to dua

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

well we don't realize that the dua is

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

being answered maybe at a timeline that we

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

don't understand but it is our responsibility to

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

do the work for Gaza for this Ummah

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

and at the same time remember stories like

00:02:01 --> 00:02:01

this one.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

Allah is listening he is answering so keep

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

making dua.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

Have certainty in it for yourself and for

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

this Ummah.
