What You’re Praying For Is Already Written... But You’re Delaying It (here’s how to fix it) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The thing that you keep asking Allah
- 0:01for, the thing that you're crying for in
- 0:03dua and the thing that you're begging
- 0:05for in salah is actually already written
- 0:08for you. Otherwise, Allah wouldn't be
- 0:10putting this desire within your heart.
- 0:12And that's why Allah says right here, no
- 0:14disaster strikes upon the earth or among
- 0:17yourselves except that is already in a
- 0:19register before we bring it into being.
- 0:22Which means that if disasters are
- 0:23already written, that means everything
- 0:26else that's good for you is also already
- 0:29written. But the reason you haven't seen
- 0:31it yet is because you're delaying it
- 0:33with your own hands. It's because you're
- 0:35not yet the person ready to carry that
- 0:38blessings. And that's why Allah says
- 0:39Allah doesn't send a change externally.
- 0:42For example, abundance or health or
- 0:44marriage or success until you change
- 0:47internally from the inside. So change at
- 0:50the soul level. Change your reliance.
- 0:52Change your gratitude and your pre and
- 0:54your purity. Which means you must become
- 0:57the person ready for the blessing to
- 1:00receive the blessing. And today in this
- 1:03video, I'm going to show you exactly how
- 1:05to stop delaying what Allah has already
- 1:07prepared for you. So that next time
- 1:09you're making dua for more money, you're
- 1:11making dua for a spouse or for health,
- 1:13you'll be getting it accepted faster
- 1:16than last time. That being said, let's
- 1:19get started. So Allah says
- 1:23in your Lord says call upon me I will
- 1:26respond to you. When I read things like
- 1:28these I'm like automatically this is a
- 1:30divine law within the universe otherwise
- 1:33Allah wouldn't say it. So it's like a
- 1:35100% thing that's definitely going to
- 1:36happen. Same as gravity. If I take
- 1:38something and I drop it it's inevitable.
- 1:41Same thing with here which means if you
- 1:42call upon Allah you'll be receiving the
- 1:45same exact thing that you're calling
- 1:46Allah for. But then why is it sometimes
- 1:48that you make dua and then nothing
- 1:50happens? If I'm saying that this is
- 1:51Allah just like gravity, why is it
- 1:52sometimes you make dua, still nothing
- 1:54happens? Now the problem is not the dua.
- 1:56The problem is who are you making dua
- 1:59to? Most of you guys, you think you're
- 2:01making dua to Allah, but you're not
- 2:03making dua to Allah. Let me explain. So
- 2:05imagine you're asking Allah for a
- 2:06beautiful spouse, okay? And then you're
- 2:08begging, you're crying, and then you
- 2:10plead. And with every dua, you feel even
- 2:13more desperate for the spouse. But then
- 2:15here's the truth. In that state, what's
- 2:17happening is that you're not calling
- 2:19upon Allah as he revealed himself.
- 2:22You're calling upon your own idea of
- 2:26Allah. And then you wonder, it's like,
- 2:28what the heck? Allah says, "Call upon
- 2:31me. I will respond to you." And here you
- 2:33are. You're making so much dua. Not a
- 2:35single response. You're telling me Allah
- 2:37said something that's false in the
- 2:38Quran. Impossible.
- 2:41The only explanation for you is that
- 2:44you're making dua to someone, an idea
- 2:47that's not even truly who Allah is. This
- 2:49is a version shaped by your fear, by
- 2:51doubt, by scarcity. Because if you truly
- 2:54knew Allah, you would trust Allah in the
- 2:56promise that he made. Call upon me, I
- 3:00will respond to you. And the prophet, he
- 3:01actually also said, "Call upon Allah
- 3:04while being certain of his response."
- 3:06But most of us, we call upon Allah being
- 3:08uncertain of the response. Because if
- 3:10you truly knew who Allah is, there's no
- 3:12way that you wouldn't be certain that
- 3:13Allah is going to be accepting your
- 3:16dua. He says, "Do not delay your dua by
- 3:20doubting the response. For Allah has
- 3:21guaranteed the answer in what he
- 3:23chooses, not in what you choose, and at
- 3:25the time he wills, not at the time you
- 3:27will." If if God, bro, God, the creator
- 3:30of the heavens and the universe, said,
- 3:33"I'll give you exactly what I choose,
- 3:34something way better for you, and in my
- 3:36own timing, that means you have no say
- 3:38anymore. If that means whatever you want
- 3:41is already like it's already little
- 3:43compared to Allah is trying to give you.
- 3:44So in reality in reality when you're
- 3:47begging with desperation you're not
- 3:49really worshiping Allah. You're
- 3:51worshiping your own your own fears.
- 3:54Allah is not a harsh master that you
- 3:56have to start convincing. Allah as he
- 3:58says karim Allah is karim. Allah is alj
- 4:02the most generous and the one who always
- 4:04responds. So if you knew him, if you
- 4:07knew him truly, you would ask with 100%
- 4:10complete certainty and then you would
- 4:11just relax. You would relax because now
- 4:14you know that what you seek is already
- 4:16it's already on its way. And this brings
- 4:18us even deeper. So when you attach too
- 4:20much desperation to the dua that you're
- 4:22making, what you're doing is that you're
- 4:24building a veil between you and the gift
- 4:26that Allah has prepared for you. So
- 4:28because in that state, you're not truly
- 4:30relying on Allah. You're relying on your
- 4:33own worry, your own fear, and your own
- 4:35attachment. And anything you rely on
- 4:37besides Allah, what's going to happen is
- 4:39that Allah is going to start showing you
- 4:40its own weakness because Allah wants you
- 4:42to only worship the one creator. So now
- 4:45when you're worshiping your own fear,
- 4:46your own desire, your own uncertainty
- 4:49while you're making the dua, Allah is
- 4:51going to start coming and telling you
- 4:52and showing you actually why the dua is
- 4:55not being getting accepted because
- 4:56you're putting too much attention on
- 4:58those things and not any attention on
- 5:01Allah himself. So he also says nothing
- 5:04delays the gifts of Allah like your
- 5:06illusion that you must bring them
- 5:08yourself. So when you beg and you panic
- 5:10after dua, you're no longer making dua
- 5:12to Allah himself. You're making dua to
- 5:14an image you created in your own mind.
- 5:16An image of a lord that withholds from
- 5:19you of a lord that delays of a lord who
- 5:22sting you like that's what you're making
- 5:25dua to. But Allah is not like that.
- 5:27Allah says again call upon me I will
- 5:29respond to you. Which means for sure
- 5:31you'll be getting a response. And the
- 5:33prophet he says that dua is worship
- 5:35itself. Meaning when you truly call upon
- 5:38Allah you must call with complete
- 5:40complete certainty. If the God of the
- 5:43heavens and the universe can just do
- 5:44this and things get accepted, that means
- 5:46that you should be believing, believing
- 5:48with your own heart that Allah can do
- 5:50this and things will be getting
- 5:51accepted. And such certainty, that's the
- 5:54bridge between you getting between you
- 5:56and you getting your request. The one
- 5:58who is inwardly calm after dua has truly
- 6:01relied on Allah. But the one who is
- 6:03restless and desperate after dua has
- 6:06relied on himself. Because your own ego,
- 6:08bro, your own ego knows that you
- 6:10shouldn't be relying on yourself. Your
- 6:12own ego knows that you have limitations.
- 6:14And that's why your own ego is getting
- 6:16all these fears because you're putting
- 6:17all of your attention on something other
- 6:19than Allah. When your heart becomes firm
- 6:21in trusting the promise of Allah, what
- 6:23you asked for starts moving towards you
- 6:26without you even chasing it. And that's
- 6:27why Allah says your your Lord has not
- 6:29forsaken you, nor is he displeased. So
- 6:32that's the thing again. When you're
- 6:34making dua to Allah, understand exactly
- 6:36who are you making dua to. And if you
- 6:39still don't know who Allah, that's what
- 6:40the Quran is for. Go back to the Quran,
- 6:42bro. Go back and read it. And then
- 6:44you'll you'll realize like Allah is way
- 6:47different than what people are telling
- 6:49me and way different than what I
- 6:51expected Allah to be. Next. So when
- 6:54you're praying for a blessing, wealth,
- 6:56marriage, healing, peace, whatever it
- 6:58is, understand that you're praying for a
- 7:00higher quality or a higher reality. So
- 7:04realize every blessing requires a
- 7:06container. And right now your soul, it
- 7:09might might not be wide enough or big
- 7:11enough to receive that container.
- 7:14Imagine you ask Allah for the ocean, but
- 7:16you come with such a tiny cup. How can
- 7:18the ocean fit into your tiny cup? That's
- 7:20why Allah says Allah does not burden a
- 7:22soul beyond that it can bear. People
- 7:24think this is only for problems. No.
- 7:26Allah will not put things in your soul
- 7:29within your naps that you can't bear
- 7:31even if that was goodness. That's why it
- 7:32says right here the gifts of Allah
- 7:34descend according to the capacity of the
- 7:37heart. So if you want Allah to pour more
- 7:39into your life than your heart, your
- 7:41trust and your identity must expand.
- 7:45Allah says once again, Allah does not
- 7:47change the condition of a people until
- 7:48they change what's within themselves.
- 7:50And this is why your your dua or with
- 7:54the blessings that you're asking for,
- 7:55they're getting delayed. Now, they're
- 7:58not getting delayed as a punishment.
- 7:59They're really getting delayed as mercy.
- 8:01So Allah is giving you time to become
- 8:03the person who can carry the thing that
- 8:05you're making dua for with gratitude,
- 8:07with humility, with responsibility.
- 8:10Because the same thing that you're
- 8:11praying for, if if it was given to you
- 8:13to your old self, it would destroy you.
- 8:16It would kill you. Abu Median says, he's
- 8:19like, if Allah grants before he
- 8:21prepares, the gift becomes a punishment.
- 8:24So Allah in his own mercy, sometimes
- 8:26hides the blessing until he sees that
- 8:29you've purified your soul and you
- 8:31trusted his promise. And then once your
- 8:33heart is prepared to receive it, Allah
- 8:35finally gives you the same thing that
- 8:36you're asking dua for. Now, I know some
- 8:38of you guys are going to be like, "Bro,
- 8:39please then show me. What am I supposed
- 8:41to be doing?" Here's what you're
- 8:42supposed to be doing. So, step number
- 8:44one is you got to have to in your dua.
- 8:47We talked about this. We talked about
- 8:49this in the beginning of the video. You
- 8:50got to know exactly who Allah is. And
- 8:52you have to again retach yourself the
- 8:55oneness of Allah. So before you make
- 8:56dua, remind yourself. And this is not a
- 8:58onetime thing where you do it and you're
- 9:00done. Moment to moment basis, you remind
- 9:02yourself who Allah is. So remind
- 9:04yourself, the one I'm asking has no
- 9:06limits. the one I'm asking has already
- 9:08promised me which he says call upon me I
- 9:11will answer you and the scholars they
- 9:13say if you knew who you're speaking to
- 9:16you would never fear a delay so the
- 9:18action here that I'm giving you is start
- 9:21your dua by praising Allah's names how
- 9:24do you know who Allah is through the 99
- 9:26names that he himself introduces himself
- 9:29to so if you're asking for say if you're
- 9:33asking for healing if you're asking for
- 9:35guidance
- 9:37And then this is what you use to anchor
- 9:39your heart first. So before you even
- 9:42ask, know exactly who are you asking.
- 9:45The second thing is expand your heart.
- 9:47Expand your heart. How do you expand
- 9:49your heart? Through gratitude. A small
- 9:51vessel can't hold an entire ocean. But
- 9:53that's why Allah says if you're
- 9:55grateful, I will increase you. So
- 9:56there's a law within the universe that
- 9:58says gratitude results in an increase.
- 10:01An increase in what? Increase in
- 10:03everything. The tongue that constantly
- 10:05says alhamdulillah is the tongue that
- 10:07calls down the floods of mercy. So
- 10:09before asking, spend one to three
- 10:11minutes listing three things you're
- 10:13grateful for. Doesn't matter if you're
- 10:15struggling. Doesn't matter if you're if
- 10:16you if you think you have nothing else
- 10:18that you should be grateful for in your
- 10:19life. There is always something that you
- 10:21should be grateful for in your life. And
- 10:23just having this little shift within you
- 10:25before you ask is going to change
- 10:27everything. So this is going to soften
- 10:29your soul and expand your capacity to
- 10:32receive. Next, visualize your dua
- 10:35already being answered. And this is what
- 10:37is deep contemplation. The prophet
- 10:39wasallam he himself
- 10:41says for an hour is better than worship
- 10:44for 70 years. So literally imagine
- 10:46yourself living your dua and start
- 10:49feeling the emotion of gratitude as if
- 10:51Allah already accepted it. And then
- 10:52sometimes people come and ask me they're
- 10:53like how can I already feel the emotion
- 10:56that Allah accepted my dua? Like isn't
- 10:58that basically like tricking myself or
- 11:00lying to myself or even like commanding
- 11:02Allah? No, you're not commanding Allah.
- 11:04What you're doing is that you're
- 11:05trusting the promise. Once again, if you
- 11:07knew who Allah is, you would know that
- 11:10whatever dua you make is going to be
- 11:11accepted instantly, which should already
- 11:13tell you like you should have such a
- 11:15deep trust within you, such a deep
- 11:17certainty within you that as soon as you
- 11:19say it's going to be accepted, which
- 11:20means now you can literally live as if
- 11:22it's been accepted because that's how
- 11:24much trust you have. This emotional
- 11:27expansion, that's what's going to
- 11:28program your heart to finally receive.
- 11:31And then next, release the burdens in
- 11:33your heart, man. Let go. Reliance upon
- 11:36Allah is the bird's heart, which means
- 11:39it's light. It's trusting and it flies
- 11:41towards what it needs without fear.
- 11:44That's what I say. So now tell yourself,
- 11:47I ask the king of kings, my heart is
- 11:50light. The delivery is on its way
- 11:52exactly when Allah knows it will benefit
- 11:54me most. and then move through the world
- 11:56with complete
- 11:58certainty. Abdulan he says when you want
- 12:01a door to open serve others who are
- 12:04still knocking. So while you're waiting
- 12:06for your dua to be accepted go and serve
- 12:08the creation of Allah. So as simple as
- 12:12giving as simple as helping someone else
- 12:15get their dua accepted which is exactly
- 12:17what I'm doing to you right now. And
- 12:19understand what you give Allah writes
- 12:21for you multiplied. And that's exactly
- 12:24how you stop delaying the things that
- 12:27you're making dua for because they're
- 12:28already written. All you got to do is
- 12:30just start aligning your heart with who
- 12:32Allah is and then you'll see those
- 12:34things coming faster faster into your
- 12:37life. So if this right here helped you,
- 12:39if now you realize that you're not
- 12:41really missing anything, you're just
- 12:44misaligned. And then when you align
- 12:45yourself back, you'll be getting exactly
- 12:47the thing that you want. If this helps
- 12:49you, there is something I want you to
- 12:50see. So, I made a quick video that's in
- 12:52the description right now that goes even
- 12:54deeper into what we just talked about
- 12:56right in this video. And I'll be
- 12:58revealing three laws from the Quran that
- 13:01unlock your abundance, that unlock your
- 13:03blessings and your baraka, but for some
- 13:05reason, most Muslims, they're still
- 13:07blocking it or they're just unknowingly
- 13:09violating them. So, if you feel like
- 13:11your hard work and those sleepless
- 13:12nights, they never really amount to an
- 13:14outcome, then you should really see
- 13:15this. It'll show you exactly how to stop
- 13:17delaying what's already yours and how to
- 13:19start receiving what Allah already wrote
- 13:21for you with ease and baraka, inshallah.
- 13:25So, if this video was helpful, just let
- 13:28me know,
