Dua Requests

May Allah bless you and your family 🤲☝️📿

​"I'm still single to this day, and that alone is proof that I'm not playing around. Oh God, when will it be my turn? I'm tired of waiting for happiness from You."

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
O Allah,
Give us a life that brings peace to our hearts. A life where we do not have to keep recovering from one heartbreak after another, but where Your mercy meets us in places we never expected.
Bless us with days that make us say Alhamdulillah without having to force the words. Give us good news that finds us when we have stopped expecting it, people who are good for our souls, and blessings that make us understand why some things had to wait.
Let there come a day when we look back at the things that once broke our hearts and finally understand how beautifully You carried us through them.
And when that day comes, keep us humble enough to remember that every good thing came from You.
Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen.
Please remember me and the entire Ummah in your duaa.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE DUʿĀʾS YOU MAKE

My brothers and sisters, pay attention to your duʿāʾ.

Pay attention to what you ask Allah for and how you speak to Him when you raise your hands.

Because sometimes, the things we repeatedly ask Allah for reveal what has taken the greatest place in our hearts.

Ask yourself:

What do I talk about most when I stand before Allah?

Is it only money?

A house?

A car?

Marriage?

A job?

Travel?

Success in this dunya?

There is nothing wrong with asking Allah for halal blessings of this world. Allah Himself teaches us to ask for good in this life and the Hereafter.

But if our duʿāʾs are filled with worldly requests while we rarely ask Allah for forgiveness, guidance, Jannah, protection from the Fire and a good ending, then perhaps our hearts need some serious attention.

Balance your duʿāʾ.

Before asking Allah for what you want, remember what He has already given you.

Thank Him for your life.

Thank Him for your īmān.

Thank Him for your health.

Thank Him for your family.

Thank Him for the blessings you notice—and the countless blessings you don't even notice.

Then ask Him for what you need.

Ask Allah to forgive your sins.

Ask Him to keep your heart firm upon His religion.

Ask Him to protect you from the trials of the dunya.

Ask Him for a good ending.

Ask Him to make your death easy and to protect you from a death that causes unnecessary suffering to yourself and those you love.

Ask Allah to protect you from the fitnah of the grave, the trial of the Dajjāl, and the punishment of the Fire.

Ask Allah for the highest levels of Jannatul-Firdaws.

Ask Him to grant you the companionship of the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous.

Ask Him to allow you to drink from al-Kawthar and to be among those whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ welcomes at his ḥawḍ.

Ask Allah for a beautiful meeting with Him.

And yes, ask Allah for the things you need in this dunya too.

Ask for halal wealth.

Ask for a righteous spouse.

Ask for healthy children.

Ask for beneficial knowledge.

Ask for a good home.

Ask for opportunities.

Ask for ease.

But don't allow the dunya to become the biggest thing you ask Allah for.

And when making duʿāʾ, begin by praising Allah and sending ṣalāh and salām upon His Messenger ﷺ, and conclude with ṣalāh and salām as well.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us the importance of sending ṣalāh upon him when making duʿāʾ.

Sometimes we become so distracted by what we don't have that we forget the blessings already surrounding us.

Materialism can quietly enter the heart.

Pride can enter.

Attachment can enter.

The desire to be seen can enter.

And before we realize it, we are asking Allah for everything related to this world while barely asking Him for the very things that will matter after our death.

So stop sometimes and ask yourself:

“If Allah gave me everything I wanted in this dunya but I lost my Hereafter, what would I have gained?”

Nothing.

The dunya is temporary.

The grave is coming.

The Resurrection is coming.

The standing before Allah is coming.

And the Hereafter is eternal.

So let your duʿāʾ reflect that reality.

Ya Allah, give us what is good for us in this dunya, but never allow the dunya to become greater in our hearts than You.

Ya Allah, forgive our sins.

Ya Allah, purify our hearts from pride, riyaʾ, arrogance, envy and excessive attachment to the dunya.

Ya Allah, keep us humble.

Ya Allah, make us people who remember You in ease and hardship.

Ya Allah, grant us a good death, protect us in our graves, save us from the trials of the Dajjāl and the punishment of Hellfire.

Ya Allah, grant us Jannatul-Firdaws al-Aʿlā and allow us to drink from the ḥawḍ of Your beloved Messenger ﷺ.

Ya Rabb, make You the greatest desire of our hearts.

Āmīn, yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn. 🤲🏽

May we never be in position that we’re just desperate to marry whosoever is available,

Āmin.

May you marry into a family that loves you as much as you love their son.

May your husband respect you, protect you, cherish you and make you feel safe.

May his parents welcome you with love instead of treating you like an outsider.

May his siblings become your family, not your enemies.

May you never have to beg for acceptance, compete for attention, or constantly prove that you are worthy of being loved.

May Allah bless you with in-laws who speak well of you when you're not there, defend your honour, respect your boundaries and treat you with kindness.

And may you also be a source of love, respect and peace to them.

Because marriage isn't only about marrying a person.

Sometimes, you're also entering a family.

May Allah place mawaddah, raḥmah, respect and barakah between you and your future family.

Āmīn.

Muslim Sisters!!!

One day, perhaps sooner than you expect, the day will come when your hand will be placed in the hand of a man through a halal marriage.

May Allah grant you a husband who fears Him, respects you, protects your dignity, treats you with kindness and helps you grow closer to Allah.

May Allah make you a loving and righteous wife—one who brings sakīnah, mercy and barakah into her husband's life.

And if Allah blesses you with children, may He make you a wonderful mother who raises them upon īmān, good character, knowledge and love for Allah.

May your future home be filled with ṣalāh, Qur'an, laughter, patience, forgiveness and genuine love.

And may Allah protect you from marriages that bring harm, oppression, regret or distance from Him.

May Allah grant every righteous Muslimah a righteous spouse and a blessed family, at the right time and in the best way.

Āmīn yā Rabb. 🤲🏽❤️

somewhere between Ya Allah, please and Alhamdulillah anyway” is a kind of tawakkul nobody really talks about.

Ask plenty.. for Allah's kingdom never runs dry🌚

Ask for the impossible, for everything is possible with Allah💡

There's doubt, there's feeling of unworthiness.. but with trust in Allah.. those feelings are non-existent.

“‘[Our] Lord! [We are] truly in ˹desperate˺ need of whatever provision You may have in store for [us].’” 28:24. “‘… Grant us the good of this world and the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire.’” 2:201.
