Dua…A Conversation With Allah


Dua is a conversation with Allah which many of us don’t take advantage of. Often in our times of need we turn to people whom we feel are good listeners and can understand what we are going through. We forget that those attributes all belong to our creator. I can assure you that by just engaging in this conversation with your creator you will walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had. You will be filled with the strength to go on and the knowledge that everything will work out the way it’s meant to be and no matter what the outcome you will get through it.
We make the mistake of only making dua when we want something. How about thanking Allah for all that he has blessed us with? And when it seems as if we don’t have anything to live for we should think about those who are fighting for their lives and for Islam in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and the list goes on…we live lives of luxury in comparison to them.
There are many duas, which we are told to recite for various reasons. One of these duas is the dua for Isthikharah, a dua for guidance regarding important aspects of our lives. I recently asked Allah for guidance about a certain aspect of my life in my daily duas. I did not perform Salaatul-Isthikharah yet I still received my answer and no, it was not through a miraculous dream or by waking up with a feeling, which told me what to do. It was simply by what happened, the obstacles Allah put in my path, which made me realize that what I was hoping for is not what is good for me at this time in my life. The decision Allah makes for us may not be the answer we want to hear but, remember, Allah knows best.
I have been fortunate enough to experience the power of dua and on a number of occasions have made dua after performing salaah and within a day or so (there has been a time when it was just five minutes later) that my dua was accepted/answered. I am not saying that this will definitely happen because ‘Allah answers duas in three ways, he says yes and gives you what you want, he says no and gives you something better, he says wait and gives you the best in his own time.’ I ask you to do yourself a favour and sometime today find five minutes to lift your hands up in prayer and just speak to Allah. I guarantee that it will be a conversation which you will never regret.
