It's been years and my dua still hasn't been answered. What do I
do? Has all this talk about da? Is it all false? Was it all fake? Is
there something wrong? Why is it that my dua hasn't been answered?
In this video, we're gonna cover the wisdoms behind why sometimes
the answer is delayed, the answer is delayed for sometimes very,
very good reasons. Well, the first reason we're going to discuss II
don't accuse Allah and accused the religion of being false. When
something doesn't go your way, the more humble thing to do is to
excuse yourself, and the first wisdom behind why a person's job
may be delayed, is that they are delaying, if you want to try to
light a piece of wood on fire, but you also keep sprinkling water on
it. The reason it's not catching fire is because of your own sense.
Okay, so that's the first answer that the scholars say is perhaps
some sins that you're doing is the reason why Allah is not granting
you what He wills, why is he just punishing you? Yes, it could be he
has the right to punish us, but also so that we don't receive a
blessing while upon sins, therefore ruining that blessing
for ourselves. Sins oftentimes destroys our character, it makes
us have less patience, it makes us have less wisdom, it makes us
perhaps more rough around the edges all the results of since so
Allah Tada wants to give us a blessing while we're upon
obedience, while we have wisdom while we have patients who are we
have submission, and we're easier to deal with. When we're in a bed
and we're good, our personality smooth, we're less moody, less
angry, so on and so forth. So the first reason really, we should
rebound the question and look in the mirror. Remember, whenever you
point to something, there are three fingers pointing back to
you. Interestingly, the prophet never pointed like this. He always
pointed like this. Nothing was ever pointing back to him. But the
point being rebound the matter to yourself, perhaps it is me. Who is
the problem? Also, this is the second point, my dad is too weak.
It is Josie says perhaps that the your DUA hasn't yet reached you
haven't yet paid the price, or it hasn't been strong enough for a
job. So yes, perhaps it is that Allah wills to give you something
and you should believe that he does. But maybe you haven't paid
the price yet. Maybe the price is three years of worship, maybe the
price is five years of Da hold on to it for a long period of time.
Why? Because if something is a great blessing, it often comes
with it great burdens and responsibilities. So how do you
know that you're strong enough to handle the responsibility, you
have to be trained not to cast off that responsibility because it's
becomes weighty and heavy as the prophets of Allah is in the
greatest numbers white and Allah kept away from him for a period of
time. Why so that he could have desire that desire builds up,
you'll be able to carry the burden, easy, come easy go. But if
you're made to wait, you oftentimes will carry the burden,
you have the strength to carry the burden that strength is developed,
while waiting. Same thing with rich kids rich kid doesn't really
respect money doesn't really work hard for money, does it really
honor the craft that his father may have built up, so easy come
easy go. Whereas the person who's on the outside looking in, and
he's poor, year after year, he's poor, he feels the poverty.
Finally, when he has to climb the mountain and make wealth he'll do
it. And when he makes that wealth, he'll take care of it and take
care of the poor. So oftentimes, that waiting period is building up
the strength to carry the responsibility. The next answer is
that it's a test. How much do you trust Allah, Allah selling you?
These are the principles you need to fulfill, and this is what
you're gonna get back. All right. So my lord, I fulfilled the
principles. I've fulfilled the precondition. So I made my wealth
handler to the best of my capabilities. Scholars told me my
wealth is how they assess my job, I'm having a third or I'm having
Ilha, this desperation of state and this constancy in dua, I'm
having crucial, I know, you have to have trust. So you have to
develop and build a trust in Allah subhana wa Tada. Now why is that
is Allah just playing a game with me just to make me trust him now
stuff. Rather, this is a blessing. Because once you have that trust
in Allah, then there may be a time where you have to wait a longer
period of time. And in fact, there may be a time where you have to
advise people who are going through the same thing you're
going through. So you waited 15 years finally your DUA was
answered. Now when someone comes to you after five years and said
my daughter's not answered, you're an advisor to him. No trust is not
developed except that you have to wait and be patient until Allah
Tada fulfills his what his promise every Josie has a fourth one here
is very interesting here. Even Josie says this. Our agenda is all
wrong in the first place. You have no rights. You have no rights in
the first place. What are you rushing about? I want something
Allah doesn't owe you anything. Why are you rushing for something
that you're not Oh, to stop like, this is my rent. It's not like you
owe me rent. It's not like I did something a service and now I
should be paid. You don't deserve anything. This is just generosity
from Allah. So that's actually some tough word.
From image Josie, but sometimes those tough words are the best
medicine. You shouldn't rush for something that you don't deserve.
You don't deserve anything. Some tough words but it benefits let's
look at Sophia and authority Sophia and authority brings a
softer view than ignorant Josie of course Sophia and authority came
before him to Josie said men are who are thought what Allah
deprives you that's a gift. He is depriving of you is the gift
itself. Why is that? He said that is because it could be that the
same gift given to you at this time would be ruined. It could be
that when it's given to you later, it's multiplied. It could be that
the gift that Allah has given you comes with a spiky underbelly,
meaning that a good thing comes with some bad things with it. And
right now you're not ready for those bad things like what
everyone wants a child so you have a child do you also know that also
comes with sleepless nights that also comes with no more having a
weekend off, no more come having an evening off, no more sleeping
in no more. There's a lot of no mores when you have a child and
there's a lot of spending that you know we're gonna have to spend $40
For a month of diapers $40 to go to the bathroom, right there's a
lot of bad smells when you have a child you're gonna get used to
vomit urine defecation, you will see an amount of defecation that
you have never imagined and never seen in your life and you against
gonna get on your skin and it's gonna get on your clothes and
urine will get everywhere in that as a lot of this is why Allah
subhanaw taala says in the Quran, unwed or in sandal because surely
drought will help you ask for something good. You don't realize
you're asking for a lot of bad things to every worldly Blessing
has a bad part to it, just as every bad thing has some silver
lining to it. So this is Sophia and authority telling us when he
deprives you from it. That's actually a good thing. He's
depriving you from some of the bad things related to it. This is
amazing the scholars and they put their minds to the matter how many
wisdoms they extrapolate. If you liked the video that you just
