    Height

    Salam alaikum

    Have you, or someone you know, ever prayed to Allah to increase their height, and it was given to them?

    Note: I don't mean someone with tall parents who becomes tall, but a situation where everyone in that person's background is very short, but after making dua, he/she becomes taller. A situation that seems miraculous.

    Salaam

    if an adult , short person asks for a miracle like becoming tall overnight , I don't think that takes place , at least I have not heard of any such miracle.

    One must try to increse his/her faith instead of too much thinking of height.

    Re: Height

    I have never known anyone to pray about increasing his height and it happened. I have never known anyone to pray about height at all, and I come from short people also.

    I have looked at your various posts on the same topic in several forums for a couple of days now. I was most curious as to how your question would be answered from an Islamic perspective.

    I have also debated on answering myself, since your question provoked a verse from the Bible into my mind. In the Bible is a verse from the words of Jesus that directly speaks about man not being able to add even one cubit to his stature with worry. ( It actually goes along with what Muslim Woman wrote about increasing your faith rather than thinking of your height. ) Jesus speaks about not worrying about what you will wear, or what you will eat, for God will provide these things. He says we should seek God first and he will give us our needs.

    Depending on your age, maybe there is hope yet considering you're nourishing your body with the right diet..

    to me its seems that u want to test ALLAH SWT, whether He can do this or not...? i have heard ALLAH SWT has said HE can do anything so emaan say we blv what ALLAH SWT said and its no need to TEST Him.

    Re: Height

    Thanks, finally there are honest answers, because too many people keep saying 'Allah can do anything' and 'you never know so have hope' , even though deep inside they know it's not going to happen,

    I'm probably gonna stay 4'11 . Allah answers duas in one of three ways, and they know it's gonna be one of the last two. But cos they want to be polite or not make me despair, they say (even though they don't) - 'make dua, you never know'.

    Actually I think I do know.

    Re: Height

    How about praying to be shorter instead.

    I see little advantage to being tall. Short people live longer.

    Re: Height

    I have a better idea...why don't you keep praying to Allah (SWT) to help increase your height while doing certain exercises that will help you grow taller...I myself do ask Allah to help increase my height when I do the exercises, after taking a hip hop dance class, I grew an inch in 2 months at the age of 23 mashAllah...your short height is given through genetics...if you exercise and eat the right diet, pray and ask Allah (SWT) to help increase your height, chances are you will...I have strong faith in Allah (SWT) and believe in the fact if I work hard in the exercises and eat the right diet, he will help me grow more taller...if you're a guy, you can continue to grow until you're 25 because your bones keep growing...if you're a girl, your bones will continue to grow until you're 21...if you passed that age, you can still grow especially if you didn't grew at all during your childhood and teenage years...I didn't grew a lot during my childhood years and nothing at all during my teen and early adulthood years.

    Hope this helps

    Re: Height

    i heard that doing pullups can make you a couple of inches taller. i haven't tried it though. i myself prayed i'd become taller even during hajj and i may have become an inch taller since then but i have realized that my height is pretty good (I'm 5'2"). In fact most people's height is good, even those who are under 5 feet tall so long as the body is proportionate. i've seen people 6 inches shorter than me who looked perfectly fine. i feel that everyone should be comfortable with the height that Allah has given them. It is just a number and has no meaning really. to be upset because of one's height is really silly. Personally i don't like heights too tall.

    how tall are you by the way?

    me?...only an inch taller than you...I never heard of that but I've heard that hanging makes us grow taller...I used to hang a lot when i was a child..lol..I think that's why I grew a bit when I was a child buh not much as an adult...I agree, height is given to us by Allah and we should be happy...I'm pretty much happy with my height but I have lots of taller relatives especially cousins and I get called shorty...I don't like it when my cousins tease me like that, I just want to grow only 2 to 3 inches more to be at their height level...I just did the stretching exercises and that's how I grew mashAllah.
