Whoever wishes that Allah responds to his dua at times of hardship, then let him increase his dua at times of ease!” (Tirmidhi) The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wassallam) said, But now you have indeed rejected (Him), so the (torment) will be yours permanently. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord only pays attention to you because of your du’a to Him. “Call upon Me I will respond to you.” Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell contemptible. Then when we face another hardship, we realize how negligent we were in that time of ease. When things are good though, do we keep up that same level of dedication we had before? The time that we feel this regret most though, is when we step up our dua in face of a hardship, Allah (swt) answers our dua and grants us ease. In this case, it is how a person’s desperation pushes them to such a high level of consistency and dedication. In any case, the focus here is not on marriage, but rather a look at our relationship with dua.

Every sajdah, the end of every prayer, after every adhan, every juma, and every late night is repetitions of “Oh Allah grant me a beautiful and attractive wife who is also very pious” – or something to that effect. I do not think it is a far stretch to say that a person (or guys at least) make dua for marriage more than anything else in their lives. Remember that victory comes with patience, relief comes with affliction and ease comes with hardship.”Īfter listening to a halaqah on the hadith related to dua in Riyadh as-Saliheen, and reflecting on my own situation, I began to ponder about how we are in our relationship with Allah (swt), and how we utilize this magnificent tool of dua in our lives. What hit you could not have missed you, what missed you could not have hit you. “Remember Allah in times of ease, and He will remember you in times of distress. What do you make dua for the most? Do you look for the special times that dua is accepted only when in a time of difficulty? Do you pray for others?
