    Should I give up? (OP)



    Brothers and sisters in Islam. I'm hoping someone can advise me on the situation I'm in. I'd be very grateful.

    I've been making dua for something for a long time now and although I'm pretty certain it's not ment to be, I still carry on and exhaust myself hoping Allah swt will one day give me the thing I very much long for.

    I know it's not meant to be because i've seen so many signs to show me that this is not the person for me because of the way he is. I keep telling myself that Allah swt is showing me these signs so i should let go. But something is stopping me from giving up and I believe Allah swt can change hearts, so why not hold on?

    I know we shouldn’t ever give up on dua, but that is the only thing that could change what was written for me in the first place right? The person I want is with someone else… and he doesn’t want me, but I know Allah swt will help me, should I just carry on making dua or should I give up?

    P.S Please don’t mention doing Istikhara. I have my reasons.

    Whatever happens you should never give up on dua. Dua is the most powerful tool. It can make anything happen. You might not realise but everytime you make dua a good has come out of it as when you make dua 1 out these 3 things happen.
    Either
    1. your dua is accepted
    2. You dont get what you asked for but a difficulty is removed from your path
    3. You wont get what you asked for but Allah will give you better in the Akhirat.


    So in making dua thier is a lot of benefit. Your duas will never go to waste. So never give up on dua.

    Should I give up?

    ''Let the days do as they please,
    And be optimistic when destiny decrees,
    Do not despair due to the events of nights past
    For the events of this world were not meant to last.”

    Re: Should I give up?

    salam

    you said u have ur reasons on y u dont want to do istikhara?

    so u dont want Allah to guide u?

    u dont want Allah to tell u whats best for u?

    subhanAllah we say we love n trust Allah so much, is this our love and trust??!!

    subhanAllah

    may Allah guide us all, ameen

    i'm sorry if my words my seem harsh to you but this is the reality - we are all hunky dory if Allah gives us something n keeps us happy - but when He constraints/restricts something on us in our life then we start complaining n say we want that so much - have u ever thought that the person u love - that was haraam love in the first place?

    i'm not saying that i dont talk to guys - this is reminder to myself firstmost - but at the end of the day it is wrong and this is what gets us into trouble

    if you dont pay attention to what Allah has asked u not to do, if u do it, then how can u expect Allah to pay attention to u??

    search for Allah with a true heart sister, only then will u be able to taste the true sweetness of Imaan
