He is not unhearing. Simply put, you will not get everything you ask for right away. And who's to say you will get it in this life? Some people will only get the hereafter and live a long poor life on earth all while having faith in Allah swt

Ibn al-Jawzi :rh: says in one of his books:
In the Quran, Allah :swt: says:
According to a hadith of the Prophet (SAW):
On a related note, Umm Salamah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say:
Ibn Al-Qayyim said:
Whatever Allah has decreed for His believing slave is a blessing even if that is in the form of withholding; it is a favor even if that is in the form of a trial, and the calamity decreed by him is fair even if it us painful. [Madaarij Al-Saalikeen, 4/215.]
Many ask if Allah is not being merciful with them when not answering their prayers. (The real reason is that) What Allah chooses for His slave is better for him than what he chooses for himself. Allah is more merciful towards His slaves than they themselves or their mothers are. If something happens to them that they dislike, that is better for them than if it did not happen, so His decree is all kindness and mercy. If the slave submits to Allah and has certain faith that all dominion belongs to Allah and all things are under His command, and that He is more merciful to him than he is himself, then he will find peace of mind regardless of whether his need is met or not. [Madaarij Al-Saalikeen, 2/215]

I think part of the test is when a believer supplicates and receives no response, and he repeats the dua for a long time and sees no sign of a response. He should realize that this is a test and needs patience.
What a person experiences of waswaas (whispers from shaytan) when the response is delayed is a sickness which needs medicine – I have experienced this myself. A calamity befell me and I supplicated and did not see any response, and Iblees started to lay his traps. Sometimes he said: The generosity (of Allah) is abundant and He is not miserly, so why is there a delay?
I said to him: Be gone, O cursed one, for I have no need of anyone to argue my case and I do not want you as a supporter!
Then I told myself: Beware of going along with his whispers, for if there was no other reason for the delay except that Allah is testing you to see whether you will fight the enemy, that is sufficient wisdom.
My soul (nafs) said: How could you explain the delay in the response of Allah to your prayers for relief from this calamity?
I said: It is proven with evidence that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, is the Sovereign, and the Sovereign may withhold or give, so there is no point in objecting to Him.
The wisdom behind that is proven in definitive evidence. I may think that something is good, but wisdom does not dictate it, but the reason for that may be hidden, just as a doctor may do things that appear outwardly to be harmful, intending some good purpose thereby. Perhaps this is something of that nature.
There may be an interest to be served by delay, and haste may be harmful. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A person will be fine so long as he does not become impatient and says, ‘I prayed but I did not receive any answer.’”
The response may be withheld because of some fault in you. Perhaps there was something dubious in what you ate or your heart was heedless at the time when you said the dua, or your punishment is being increased by means of your need being withheld, because of some sin from which you have not repented sincerely. So look for some of these reasons, so that you might achieve your aim.
You should examine the intention behind this request, because attaining it may lead to more sin, or prevent you from doing some good, so withholding it is better.
Perhaps losing what you have missed out on will cause you to turn to Allah and getting it will distract you from Him. This is obvious, based on the fact that were it not for this calamity you would not have turned to Him, because the real calamity is what distracts you from Him, but what makes you stand before Him is good for you and is in your best interests.
If you ponder these things you will focus on what is more beneficial for you, such as correcting a mistake or seeking forgiveness or standing before Allah and beseeching Him, and forget about what you have missed out on.

In the Quran, Allah :swt: says:
“And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you” [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:216]
According to a hadith of the Prophet (SAW):
“There is no Muslim who calls upon his Lord with a dua in which there is no sin or severing of family ties, but Allah will give him one of three things: Either He will answer his prayer quickly, or He will store (the reward for) it in the Hereafter, or He will divert an equivalent evil away from him.” They said: “We will say more dua.” He said: “Allah’s bounty is greater.” [Narrated by Ahmad, 10749; Al-Tirmidhi, 3573. Classed as Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Mishkaat Al-Masaabeeh, 2199]
On a related note, Umm Salamah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say:
“There is no calamity that befalls one of the Muslims and he responds by saying ‘Innaa Lillaahi wa innaa ilahi raaji’oon, Allahumma ujurni fi museebati w’ukhluf li khayran minha (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return; O Allah, reward me in this calamity and compensate me with something better than it),’ but Allah will compensate him with something better than it.” [Narrated by Muslim, 918]
Ibn Al-Qayyim said:

Allah is who he says he is. Maybe it's because of your attitude towards Allah that he doesn't answer your prayers.
Allah says in the Qur'an: [h=2]"Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned..." [2:286][/h]So you are not being given more than you can handle. Be patient and trust in Allah. Allah does not "have" to answer your du'a's he has already given you so much. How can you be so ungrateful?
I am reminded of the story of Nabi Ayub.... In the conversation between Allah and Syaitan, Nabi Ayub became the unsuspecting victim. Read his story. Tell me had he given up on Allah's mercy he would have been doomed.
We don't know His tests for us. We know it is a test on our iman.
Your iman is shaken. Only one person will lose out in this, you!
So, just a question. So what makes you sure that by rejecting faith you will be rewarded in the dunya stuff you are obviously wanting?
Confused.
eace:do you ask your self why i think all this thing in my inner self ??
it isn't from shaytan ?
you know .. sometimes allah test us with many tests to show us how much we love him and we know his wisdom of all things happen in our life
why you think that allah stop hearing sometimes
it's not for him to do this subhana
you know sometimes we lose our iman by researching the solution from the others while allah prepare the best for us
It is perfection wisdom of allah to give us some things hard for us to correct us sometimes ... to give us experience from the hardship another times and to let us think of him when we forget him
imagine that you have a little brother and you see him let his homework and just plays and sleep
and you love him for sure
would you let him without advise ?? won't you ?
but if you give him advice and see him Persists in his way of thinking without caring of his future and his duties
you may be rebuke him ... Scream in his face or even Beating him if you see that good
just because you know better than him ... and you love him ... and you want the best for him
and in the other hand ... your brother may understand from the first step
or may hate you ... but he will know your love after he realise what he win from your advices and carennes
or after seeing what he lose
so don't track your shaytan
don't put your self to the live to move you
try to move and to think more of what allah creat and relax more ... do what allah tell with your capacity
and feel your prayers
tink mor this life will end and you will forget all the bed things in your life
and you will say qs this ayah
And they will say, "Praise to Allah, who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers."
help yourself
and dont let your self to shaytan
may allah help you and make your life happy
sorry for my bad english
Ya Allah give me death because I cannot see the tensed faces of my mom and dad due to my failures. I know Allah has written only bad for me, but why is he making my parents suffer. Ya Allah take me away. Ya Allah give me death.
''Allahummar zuqna in kana fis sama'e fa anzil'huwa in kana fil ardhi fa akhrij'hu wa in kana ba'eedan fa qarrib'huwa in qareeban fa yassir'huwa in qaleelan fa kassir'huwa in kana madooman fa awjid'hubirahmatika ya arhamurrahimeen''Recite this dua 5 times with durood 5 times before and after this dua. Preferably after all fardh salah. If it's not possible then at least after isha salah.May Allah swt give you and your family a happy and comfortable life in both the worlds. Ameen. Brother, have patience. InshaAllah good days will come soon.

I feel ya kid, and I understand.
But remember jall'beeb (idk how to write it) but read up on him, he was very poor, deformed etc. no one wanted him etc.
Push through!
Sometimes I also wish for death etc. Life is tough eh? well, we need to push through somehow. Sometimes you think, Allah hates you etc.
But then "why would Allah create me to fail? This can't be! I won't accept failure!" Always try to go against this negativity of failure. And any negativity in general.
Trust Allah, and go against this negativity.
