Allah Never Accepts My Dua!

Why is it that I should ask Allah for something right now and Allah has to do it for me right now? Who in the world are you?! Oh you think you’re God or something? You want something to happen, you want it to happen, it doesn’t happen. Allah Azza Wa Jal he will choose his time. He is doing this for a reason, you making dua every day, some brothers what they do, they make dua, they make dua, they make dua and Allah’s Messenger SAW said, ‘Allah (He loves it or) He accepts the dua of his servant, as long…as long as that servant hasn’t become hasty.’ So they sahaba said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, how is a person hasty?’ So here the RasulAllah SAW he said what? He said, ‘As long as the person carries on doing dua and he doesn’t say this, he doesn’t say ‘I make dua to Allah and Allah never accepted it.’’ That’s being hasty! You start saying, ‘I made dua to Allah so many times and this dua never got accepted.’ Who are you? Who are you? Because Allah Azza Wa Jal does three things for you in return of the dua that you’ve just made, one of 3 things, one of three things he will do for you…

Number 1, either Allah will give to you what you just asked for. 

Number 2, you didn’t get what you asked for but Allah will give you something else in return or He will save you from an affliction. He’ll save you from an affliction, you didn’t even know. You made dua that, ‘O Allah, O Allah, please, please, O Allah I want this thing or I want this job, O Allah I want this job, O Allah I want this job.’ You’re making that dua. Allah never gave you that job, for whatever other reasons as well but what he did is he saved you another musibah somewhere else because of this dua or he gave you some other thing, it might not even be a job, it might be something else that Allah gave you.

And the 3rd thing, the best of all things is, you never got anything at all in this dunya, and you say, ‘what!? I made dua all my life and never got anything in this dunya? What!?’ On the day of judgement some brothers will come and they will see right next to them, this is in hadith, hadith of Imam Ahmad, a person will see right next to him, he will see mountains! Mountains full of reward, and this guy sees mountain full of reward and he thinks, ‘Nah man! I didn’t even live long enough to have these mountains, they can’t not be mine’ and he’s looking at these little piles next to him, so then a long time passes by, no one comes to claim the mountains full of reward, and then the person says, ‘O Allah, just a question.’ (Allah will say) ‘What my servant?’ He says, ‘these mountains full of reward who are they for?’ Allah says, ‘For you my servant.’ He says, ‘for me? Allah, for me? For me?.’You know the guys thinking how is it possible that I could get so much reward, Allah says, ‘My servant, my servant, you were in the dunya and while you were in the dunya you used to make dua to me, I never accepted your dua, that dua you used to make to me every single day, every day you used to make dua to me I never accepted it, but what I did in return is I gave you reward, and I kept on giving you reward for the dua that you used to make and today those duas are mountain full of reward.’ If only we understand what Allah is doing for us and what is beyond our fate.
