Thank you for taking the time to respond - and so promptly too. I am opening the links to the suggested dua and I will heed your advice Insha-Allah. May Allah swt reward you. Given that today is Friday, I'd like to share something which you probably already know of. I once read a hadith which suggests that there is an "hour" on Friday where our supplications will be answered. Various interpretations places this hour within the timeframe of the Jumu`ah prayer - “It is between the time the Imam sits down until the time the prayer is over.” [Sahîh Muslim (853)] Another suggests “Seek the anticipated hour of Friday after `Asr until sunset” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî (489)] Al-Tirmidhî comments: I make dua for all of the muslimeen that we may find this hour and that Allah may grant us all that is best as only He knows - for matters of Deen, Duniya and Akhira Insha-Allah. Jumuah Mubarak. Thank you once again. Please keep me in dua. Zarina Assalamu alaikum brother

I have a big decision to make. I am scared. I've made Istikhara with no clear direction which, if I am honest with myself, I attribute to the fear factor (fear of being killed).. It's a long story. Please advise the best dua to make when you just don't know and you feel responsible for so many people, you're afraid, you don't want to hurt anyone - so many lives involved. (no, Im not having an affair and contemplating leaving my husband, Im not married ) I'm stuck in a catch 22. I don't trust my own judgement even... The last 5 years have been challenging but Alhamdulilah, I survived .. I do believe it's been dua and thikr that's kept me physically alive as well as emotionally pretty stable still - (i'd like to think that I am:) I'll wait to hear from you Insha-Allah. Assalamu alaikum everyone

I also wanted to share a short gem from the Qur'an concerning duaa, it relates perfectly with this post. In Surah al-Baqarah ayah 129, Ibrahim alayhi sallam made the duaa (translation): "Our Lord, and send among them a messenger from themselves who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise." Ibrahim alayhi sallam made this duaa when he nd Ismail alayhi sallam were placing the foundation for the ka'ba. Ask yorself, when was this duaa answered? approx. 2,500 years later...yes, thats right, more than TWO THOUSAND years later--Ibrahim alayhi sallam wasn't even alive when this duaa was accepted! What does this teach us? We have to be patient with our duaas! We expect a response by the time we finish saying Ameen and put our hands down, but look at this duaa--not only did Allah ta'ala respond to it, He brought from the children of Ismail the best person to walk upon this earth, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Don't loose hope in your duaas and at the same time ask Allah to give you from His great bounty. wa lillahil hamd. Ameen.

In reading your post I started thinking about the usual approach that we (as human beings) take in response to tests, trials, tribulations, etc. Many (if not most) people have this inherent desire to confide in another and to have someone tell them that everything will be okay. SubhanAllah! Allah, in his perfect wisdom, has given us the privilege of all of these things. When we want to confide in another, He is ALWAYS listening, and when we need to trust in something greater than we can see, He is the one from whom help is to be sought and in whom we should (and wholeheartedly can) put our trust. And, as you stated, even greater than all of this, He is the only one who can really do anything about it. SubhanAllah--Indeed our Creator is All Wise and Most Merciful, May He not leave us in charge of our own affairs, even for the blink of an eye. Allaahumma Aa-meen.
