Musleh Khan – Life #09 How do I know my dua’s are accepted

			How do I know my Torah is accepted?
		

			Salam o Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. In the month of Ramadan, we're all making dua more so
now than ever. This is the month of dua. The question is how do I know Allah is listening to me? And
how do I know that he will accept my Torah? The first point brothers and sisters to understand is,
we don't know when Allah will accept our door. We don't. We don't have a precise timeline. We don't
have a specific indicator that tells us Allah azza wa jal has accepted you and Allah subhanaw taala
will give you what you request. Why? Because Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in the Quran or the
Rooney call upon me, STG Blackcomb, I will eventually respond to you. But the A doesn't specify when
		

			or how. So the first point to realize with this question, we don't have an exact indicator or sign
of Allah subhanho wa taala, accepting our dua. Now I know what some of you might be thinking, Well,
that sounds foreign because I asked Allah to marry my husband or marry my wife, and Allah accepted
it. I ended up marrying the person that I asked for. So how does this work? So if you ask Allah for
a particular job, and you end up getting the job, we as believers don't respond and say, Yes, Allah
has accepted my dua. What you do say is that Allah subhanho wa Taala has given me what Allah knows
is best for me. And in this case, it just happened to be the thing that I asked for, do you see the
		

			difference? It's one thing when you say, I asked for a, b and c, and Allah gave me a, b and c. So
therefore he answered my door. Or a different way of looking at that is a ask Allah for A, B and C.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala knows that a, b and c is best for me. So he gives it to me. This at the
end of the day, boils down to one point. How do we know that Allah subhanho wa Taala accepted our
dua, Allah promises that He will respond to our doors. But that response, Allah will determine when
and how sometimes it would be exactly what we're asking for. But many times we'll see a different
response to that dua, and sometimes you will see the response in this world, and other times we
		

			won't until the hereafter. So what I really want to say to you and me, brothers and sisters is
really simple. Perhaps maybe not to focus on their response, but focus more on the process of
connecting with him and talking to him and asking him some of the scholars have said that one of the
wisdoms why we don't have clarity of how Allah responds to our dua, is this is one unique way that
Allah wants us to continue talking to him to continue speaking and asking from him. And just having
that consistency of talking to Allah, opening up our hearts to Allah. And making dua to him, is
enough of a reason for Allah azza wa jal to give us everything that we've ever wanted, and much
		

			more. Whether you asked for it or not. Allah is Al Rahman Al Rahim he is exceptionally merciful. So
even there will be times you don't even ask for it. And Allah will give it to you. I'm sure we all
have stories like that where you didn't even ask for this blessing. But Allah subhanaw taala blessed
you with it anyway. It's all about maintaining the connection. Leave the answer to Allah when and
how he pleases and insha Allah Who Tyler You will always find satisfaction in your DUA. May Allah
subhana wa Taala accept our door as Lahoma
