Dua: Our Superpower
The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Nothing can change The Divine Decree (Qadr) except Dua.” [AL-TIRMIDI]
This moved me to tears, Subhan Allah! Allah (SWT) has given us the power (by His will) to change the Qadr by making Dua. Imagine, something we dislike for example an accident is written in our Qadr but it can be avoided by us making Dua for protection. Isn’t that amazing! Indeed, DUA is our Superpower.
Many a time we feel unworthy of making Dua, we feel Allah won’t listen to us as we are sinners. We forget that Allah is Ar- Rahman! He is The Most Merciful! He (SWT) has promised us in the Quran, “to those who believe and do good deeds of righteousness has Allah has promised forgiveness and great reward.” [Quran 5:9]
Dua is a way of gaining closeness to Allah. By turning to Him is hardship and ease, we accept that He is in control and we are not. We hand over our worries and fears to him and He (swt) replaces it with ease and comfort. Allah swt assures us in the Quran, “And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me – indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So, let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided” [Quran 2:186]
Allah (SWT) guarantees us that He is listening to our duas and will respond to them. There are three ways in which Allah responds to our duas:
1. Yes, you can have it.
2. Yes, but not now.
3. Yes, but I have something better.
There is No Dua that is going to go unanswered Insha’Allah!
The blessed month of Ramadan is the best opportunity for having our duas answered. As the last ten nights are fast approaching, make Dua in abundance as The Messenger of Allah said “Supplication (Dua) is the essence of worship.” And “There is nothing more noble to Allah The Glorified, than a Supplication (Dua). [Sahih Bukhari, Ibn Majah]
