5 Reasons Why Your Dua,s Are Not Answered. by muhamadnur: 8:12am On Feb 28, 2016
You Pray And You
Pray… Frustrating isn’t it? You
pray and you pray. You
make long duas and just
pour your heart out. You
beg and you plead to
Allah to give you something or remove
some harm from you. But no matter how hard
you supplicate, your duas
just don’t seem to get
answered. And you have
no idea why. You’re not a bad person.
There are worse people
out there than you. Why
won’t Allah answer your
duas? What are you doing
wrong? Is there some secret formula or secret
code to getting the
Almighty to respond? Let me first put your mind
at ease by letting you
know that Allah hears
everything you say, and
He knows everything you
desire. And when My
servants ask you,
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 and believe in
Me that they may be guided. So rest assured, that Allah
hears you. But look at the
last part of that verse.
Allah commands us to
respond to Him and
Believe in Him. Are you doing that? Have
you responded to Allah
and His messenger (peace
be upon him)? Is your belief (imaan) complete? Perhaps you’re lacking in a
few areas. Or perhaps it’s
something even deeper
than that. Let’s look at a
few reasons that might be
holding your duas up 1. You Aren’t Doing
Your Part. This might be the most
obvious problem. You
want Allah to give you
this and give you that, but
you aren’t giving Him
anything in return. You’re not praying regularly. You’re not fasting
during Ramadan. You’re not paying
your Zakah. I’m sure you understand
that Allah punishes us for
the wrong we do. That
punishment is not just in
the hereafter; it can also
happen in this life. Neglecting the 5 pillars of Islam is sinful and will earn Allah’s punishment. Perhaps that’s why He’s
not giving you what you
want. So stop backsliding
and straighten up. Do
what He has commanded
you to do and you might see your life improve through #dua. 2. You Are Impatient. You just couldn’t wait
could you? You asked
Allah for something over
and over again, and when
you didn’t get it when
you wanted it, you got impatient. And so you gave up. You
stopped asking and
started believing that
Allah wasn’t going to
answer your dua. And
then you went and told someone that Allah didn’t
answer your prayers. The supplication
of a slave
continues to be
granted as long as
he does not
supplicate for a sinful thing or for
something that
would cut off the
ties of kinship
and he does not
grow impatient.” It was said: “O
Messenger of
Allah! What does
growing
impatient mean?”
He (PBUH) said, “It is one’s saying: `I
supplicated again
and again but I do
not think that
my prayer will be
answered.’ Then he becomes
frustrated (in
such
circumstances)
and gives up
supplication altogether.
Related in Muslim. Your knowledge is
limited. But Allah’s
knowledge is unlimited.
You might think you
want something right
now, but Allah knows better when it is right to
give it to you. Perhaps He didn’t give it to
you at that time because it
would bring you more
harm than good. Perhaps
He wanted to test you and
had you been patient with the test, He would have
rewarded you with
something better. Only
Allah knows. But since you became
impatient, and said the
wrong thing and stopped
making dua, you lost out
on everything. 3. You Ask For
Something Evil. This should be a no-
brainer. Why would anyone ask
Allah for something bad?
Is that what you did? Did
you ask Allah for
something that would
bring you sin? Did you ask Him to
give you a
girlfriend or
boyfriend? Did you ask Him to
to give you a Riba- based loan so you
could buy a house
or car? Did you ask Him to
bring you income
from a job that
sells pork or
alcohol? Well if you did, now you
know why He didn’t
answer your supplication. 4. You Don’t Think
You’re Gonna Get It. Why would you even ask
Allah for something if you
don’t believe He’s gonna
give it to you? What’s the
point of supplicating Allah
if you don’t have any faith that it’s gonna
happen? Impossible and possible is
all in your mind. Just
because you don’t think it
can happen, doesn’t mean
it won’t. And it certainly
doesn’t mean Allah can’t make it happen. Don’t you know that
Allah is: Al-Aziz – The Mighty Al-Samad – The One that
everything relies
upon Al-Qadir – The Powerful Don’t make half-hearted
duas. Make your duas
with confidence that Allah
will grant them. Especially
if you’re asking for
something good and beneficial. Abu Huraira
reported: “None
of you should
say, ‘O Allah,
forgive me if You
wish, (or) O Allah, have mercy on
me if you wish.’
Rather you
should be firm in
your request, for
(Allah does whatever He
wishes) and no
one can force Him
to do otherwise.” That just about says it all. 5. You Are Involved In
Too Much Evil. Read the following hadith: “O people, Allah is
Good and He,
therefore, accepts
only that which is
good. And Allah
commanded the believers as He
commanded the
Messengers by
saying, ‘O
Messengers, eat of
the good things, and do good
deeds; verily I am
aware of what
you do,’ Qur’an
23.51 and He said:
‘O those who believe, eat of the
good things that
We gave you’.”
Qur’an 2.172 The
Prophet, peace be
upon him, then made mention of
a person who
travels widely,
his hair
dishevelled, and
covered with dust. “He lifts his
hands and makes
supplication, ‘O
Lord, O Lord,’ but
his diet is
unlawful, his drink is unlawful,
and his clothes are
unlawful, and his
nourishment is
unlawful. How
then can his supplication be
accepted?“ Narrated in
Muslim. There are many things
you can take from this
hadith regarding your
duas. Let’s look at some of
them: Allah is good and
He only likes that
which is good. So if
you’re good, then
He will give you
good. The things we eat
and consume have
an affect on our
spirituality and
closeness to Allah. Just because you’re
going through a
difficult time, it
doesn’t mean Allah
is obligated to
answer your prayers. We are
commanded to
follow the
example of the Prophets of Allah (peace be upon all
of them). Inshallah, I hope this
serves as a reminder for
both you and me on what
it takes to come closer to
Allah and have our duas
answered. Spread the word

The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is reported to have said, "Supplication is the very essence of worship," while one of God's commands expressed through the Quran is for them to call out to Him: And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): — Quran, surah 40 (Ghafir), ayah 60.


There are many reasons why our Dua is not answered by Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said; “These are the following reasons that why you invocation (Dua) are not accepted/full fill.
1. You have faith in Allah Almighty but do not pray/obey to him.
2. You recite the Holy Book Qura'n but do not follow its commandments.
3. You claim to be respecting the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) & his holy siblings though you do not obey them.
4. You claim to devil is your enemy and hate him but follow his path.
5. You claim that you love the heaven/paradise but your deeds are against it (actions).
6. You claim to hate the hell fire but put your bodies in to it due to your bad deeds (unlawful act).
7. You do not observe your sins but always keep busy to finding others sins.
8. You claim that this world is not permanent but on the other way you collect the wealth (money) and have interest in it.
9. You claim that death is reality but you do not prepare yourself for the day of judgment.

Remember, we must have faith in Allah while pray.
