**Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said ** "Let none of you think that his Du’aa will go unanswered because of the sins that he knows of himself.
Indeed, Allah responded to the Du’aa of the worst amongst His creation; Iblees (Shaitan, the cursed one), when he said; ‘O My Lord! Give me respite until the Day of Judgement!’ He (Allah SWT) replied, ‘Then you are of those who have been reprieved.’ (Surah al-Hijr 36-37).
So if the Du’aa of Iblees’ can be accepted, then surely the Du’aa of a sinner has more right than the devil himself!" And surely your Lord is never unjust…
May Allah accept our Du’aas and grant us the ability to continuously seek His forgiveness (through sincere repentance)… Ameen.
I wish I had stronger imaan, I am afraid I am losing hope in everything. I wish as horrible as it was today I look back and say wow life is gold now, who would have guessed. I am trying very hard to stay hopeful.
We should never lose hope in ourselves because Allah does not lose hope in us as he is always waiting for us to turn to him. We should turn to him regardless of whether we are happy or sad. The following short lecture is very inspiring:
Yes. I already quoted this hadith in another thread. Let me quote it again here. Almighty Allah is Most Merciful and He accepts our duas, Istigfar, forgive our sins too.
**The Book Pertaining to the Remembrance of Allah, Supplication, Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness (Kitab Al-Dhikr)’ of Sahih Muslim Haidth No. 6471
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him. **
JAZAK ALLAH ..... how can we get sukoon and stop thinking and just belv in ALLAH truly .. becoz sometimes negative thoughts come what will happen etc etc im engaged im afaird geting of married sometime that will i do everything correct or not etc many thoughts dont know how to cope up with this stress
Say: My servants who have acted extravagantly against themselves still do not despair of Allah's mercy. Allah forgives all offences; He is the Forgiving, the Merciful (Az-Zumar 39/53).*
I wish I had stronger imaan, I am afraid I am losing hope in everything. I wish as horrible as it was today I look back and say wow life is gold now, who would have guessed. I am trying very hard to stay hopeful.
You're not alone, many people feel like that. Sometimes the realisation comes that you've much to be grateful for and sometimes it takes something massive for you to realise. Don't be disheartened to continue asking from Allah swt, take it one day at a time rather than looking at it from the bigger picture, that can just overwhelm you unnecessarily.
They said: We call upon Allâh, but He does not respond to us
Ibrâhîm ibn Adham (d.160H) - rahimahullâh - said, when he was asked about the verse: "Call upon Me and I will respond to you." [Sûrah Ghâfir 40:60] They said: We call upon Allâh, but He does not respond to us. So he said:
"You know Allâh; yet you do not obey Him.
You recite the Qur'ân; yet you do not act according to it.
You know Shaytân; yet you continue agreeing with him.
You claim to love Allâh's Messenger 'alayhis-salâm; yet you abandon his Sunnah (guidance and way).
You claim to love Paradise, yet you do not work for it.
You claim to fear the Fire; yet you do not stop sinning.
You say, Indeed death is true; yet you have not prepared for it.
You busy yourselves with the faults of others; yet you do not look at your own faults.
You eat the sustenance that Allâh provides for you; yet you are not grateful to Him.
And you bury your dead; yet you have not heeded its lesson." [3]
** [3] Al-Hâfidh Ibn Rajab related it in al-Khushû' fis-Salâh (p.62).**
as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him. **
