Why make Dua when everything is pre written??

It’s hard for me to imagine that Allah would fulfill a zidd if it’s not in our best interest. I can understand Allah wants to teach us lessons, but I find it hard to understand that Allah would teach us the lesson that a certain dua should not have been made…by fulfilling it for us and then following it with hardships.

You know how the with a genie it’s said that “be careful what u wish for”…? Well, I don’t think that such an admonition applies to Allah. A genie simply fulfills wishes…he doesn’t discriminate or exercise wisdom when granting a wish.

It’s for this reason that I’m very skeptical about common sayings such as “Be careful what you wish for because qabooliyat ki ghari ho sakti hai.” If Allah were to automatically fulfill any and every dua that was made during a “qabooliat ki ghari”…then it removes the “wisdom” quotient from the granting.

I am also skeptical about bud-duas. I believe that even in fulfilling bud-duas…Allah is fair…that He will not fulfill a bud-dua unless the intended recipient of the bad-dua is truly guilty of hurting/oppressing the person who made the bad-dua.

If you believe that Allah (SWT) has already given us what is in our best interest then you should also conclude that any du’a to change our fate would come with a price. Getting hardships does not mean that we are getting punished … It merely means the exam is harder … This stems from the idea that Allah (SWT) is Most Wise and Loving and our desires for ourselves are shortsighted …

I’ve been trying to say all this time that we need to stop viewing hardships from Allah (SWT) as evil or as though it stems from wrong … No … Hardship can come with or without du’a … And with or without the right du’a too …so can ease … It’s how we react to those situations of ease or hardship that crystallises what was best for us …
