Dua Road blocks: 1) Dont be impatient: Just because our dua hasnt been answered it doesnt mean it hasnt been heard. He hears everything as He is As Sami; the all Hearing. Duas are answered. Sometimes we get EXACTLY what we asked for. Other times a different outcome occurs such as a calamity is diverted: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘There is no man who prays to Allah and makes dua’ to Him, and does not receive a response. Either it will be hastened for him in this world, or it will be stored up for him in the Hereafter, so long as he does not pray for something sinful, or to cut the ties of kinship, or seek a speedy response.’ They said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what does seeking a speedy response mean?’ He said, ‘Saying, “I prayed to my Lord and He did not answer me.”’” (At-Tirmidhi) 2) Say NO to sins: Repent from sins; minor and major: [The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)] mentioned the man who undertakes a lengthy journey and is disheveled and covered with dust, and he stretches his hands towards heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ when his food is haraam, his drink is haraam, his clothes are haraam. He is nourished with haraam, so how can he be granted a response? 3)Breaking ties of kinship: In Saheeh Muslim (2736) it says: “A man’s (dua’s) may be answered so long as it does not involve sin or severing the ties of kinship or hastening.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what does hastening mean?” He said: “When he says, ‘I made dua’ and I made dua’ but I did not see any response,’ so he gets discouraged and stops making dua’.” To sum up: Dua can change our life, our outlook, and our fate: Nothing could change the qadar except du`a’. (musnad Ahmad, sunan at-Tirmidhi) It is the most potent weapon of a believer. We should make dua at all times, not only during times of distress. Talk to Allah, in times, of need and in times of happiness. Ask Him and thank Him. Ask from your heart. And if you do not get what you wanted, know that He is giving us something better, if not in this world, then in the Akhirah.
