  1. 0:00The thing that you keep asking Allah
  2. 0:01for, the thing that you're crying for in
  3. 0:03dua and the thing that you're begging
  4. 0:05for in salah is actually already written
  5. 0:08for you. Otherwise, Allah wouldn't be
  6. 0:10putting this desire within your heart.
  7. 0:12And that's why Allah says right here, no
  8. 0:14disaster strikes upon the earth or among
  9. 0:17yourselves except that is already in a
  10. 0:19register before we bring it into being.
  11. 0:22Which means that if disasters are
  12. 0:23already written, that means everything
  13. 0:26else that's good for you is also already
  14. 0:29written. But the reason you haven't seen
  15. 0:31it yet is because you're delaying it
  16. 0:33with your own hands. It's because you're
  17. 0:35not yet the person ready to carry that
  18. 0:38blessings. And that's why Allah says
  19. 0:39Allah doesn't send a change externally.
  20. 0:42For example, abundance or health or
  21. 0:44marriage or success until you change
  22. 0:47internally from the inside. So change at
  23. 0:50the soul level. Change your reliance.
  24. 0:52Change your gratitude and your pre and
  25. 0:54your purity. Which means you must become
  26. 0:57the person ready for the blessing to
  27. 1:00receive the blessing. And today in this
  28. 1:03video, I'm going to show you exactly how
  29. 1:05to stop delaying what Allah has already
  30. 1:07prepared for you. So that next time
  31. 1:09you're making dua for more money, you're
  32. 1:11making dua for a spouse or for health,
  33. 1:13you'll be getting it accepted faster
  34. 1:16than last time. That being said, let's
  35. 1:19get started. So Allah says
  36. 1:23in your Lord says call upon me I will
  37. 1:26respond to you. When I read things like
  38. 1:28these I'm like automatically this is a
  39. 1:30divine law within the universe otherwise
  40. 1:33Allah wouldn't say it. So it's like a
  41. 1:35100% thing that's definitely going to
  42. 1:36happen. Same as gravity. If I take
  43. 1:38something and I drop it it's inevitable.
  44. 1:41Same thing with here which means if you
  45. 1:42call upon Allah you'll be receiving the
  46. 1:45same exact thing that you're calling
  47. 1:46Allah for. But then why is it sometimes
  48. 1:48that you make dua and then nothing
  49. 1:50happens? If I'm saying that this is
  50. 1:51Allah just like gravity, why is it
  51. 1:52sometimes you make dua, still nothing
  52. 1:54happens? Now the problem is not the dua.
  53. 1:56The problem is who are you making dua
  54. 1:59to? Most of you guys, you think you're
  55. 2:01making dua to Allah, but you're not
  56. 2:03making dua to Allah. Let me explain. So
  57. 2:05imagine you're asking Allah for a
  58. 2:06beautiful spouse, okay? And then you're
  59. 2:08begging, you're crying, and then you
  60. 2:10plead. And with every dua, you feel even
  61. 2:13more desperate for the spouse. But then
  62. 2:15here's the truth. In that state, what's
  63. 2:17happening is that you're not calling
  64. 2:19upon Allah as he revealed himself.
  65. 2:22You're calling upon your own idea of
  66. 2:26Allah. And then you wonder, it's like,
  67. 2:28what the heck? Allah says, "Call upon
  68. 2:31me. I will respond to you." And here you
  69. 2:33are. You're making so much dua. Not a
  70. 2:35single response. You're telling me Allah
  71. 2:37said something that's false in the
  72. 2:38Quran. Impossible.
  73. 2:41The only explanation for you is that
  74. 2:44you're making dua to someone, an idea
  75. 2:47that's not even truly who Allah is. This
  76. 2:49is a version shaped by your fear, by
  77. 2:51doubt, by scarcity. Because if you truly
  78. 2:54knew Allah, you would trust Allah in the
  79. 2:56promise that he made. Call upon me, I
  80. 3:00will respond to you. And the prophet, he
  81. 3:01actually also said, "Call upon Allah
  82. 3:04while being certain of his response."
  83. 3:06But most of us, we call upon Allah being
  84. 3:08uncertain of the response. Because if
  85. 3:10you truly knew who Allah is, there's no
  86. 3:12way that you wouldn't be certain that
  87. 3:13Allah is going to be accepting your
  88. 3:16dua. He says, "Do not delay your dua by
  89. 3:20doubting the response. For Allah has
  90. 3:21guaranteed the answer in what he
  91. 3:23chooses, not in what you choose, and at
  92. 3:25the time he wills, not at the time you
  93. 3:27will." If if God, bro, God, the creator
  94. 3:30of the heavens and the universe, said,
  95. 3:33"I'll give you exactly what I choose,
  96. 3:34something way better for you, and in my
  97. 3:36own timing, that means you have no say
  98. 3:38anymore. If that means whatever you want
  99. 3:41is already like it's already little
  100. 3:43compared to Allah is trying to give you.
  101. 3:44So in reality in reality when you're
  102. 3:47begging with desperation you're not
  103. 3:49really worshiping Allah. You're
  104. 3:51worshiping your own your own fears.
  105. 3:54Allah is not a harsh master that you
  106. 3:56have to start convincing. Allah as he
  107. 3:58says karim Allah is karim. Allah is alj
  108. 4:02the most generous and the one who always
  109. 4:04responds. So if you knew him, if you
  110. 4:07knew him truly, you would ask with 100%
  111. 4:10complete certainty and then you would
  112. 4:11just relax. You would relax because now
  113. 4:14you know that what you seek is already
  114. 4:16it's already on its way. And this brings
  115. 4:18us even deeper. So when you attach too
  116. 4:20much desperation to the dua that you're
  117. 4:22making, what you're doing is that you're
  118. 4:24building a veil between you and the gift
  119. 4:26that Allah has prepared for you. So
  120. 4:28because in that state, you're not truly
  121. 4:30relying on Allah. You're relying on your
  122. 4:33own worry, your own fear, and your own
  123. 4:35attachment. And anything you rely on
  124. 4:37besides Allah, what's going to happen is
  125. 4:39that Allah is going to start showing you
  126. 4:40its own weakness because Allah wants you
  127. 4:42to only worship the one creator. So now
  128. 4:45when you're worshiping your own fear,
  129. 4:46your own desire, your own uncertainty
  130. 4:49while you're making the dua, Allah is
  131. 4:51going to start coming and telling you
  132. 4:52and showing you actually why the dua is
  133. 4:55not being getting accepted because
  134. 4:56you're putting too much attention on
  135. 4:58those things and not any attention on
  136. 5:01Allah himself. So he also says nothing
  137. 5:04delays the gifts of Allah like your
  138. 5:06illusion that you must bring them
  139. 5:08yourself. So when you beg and you panic
  140. 5:10after dua, you're no longer making dua
  141. 5:12to Allah himself. You're making dua to
  142. 5:14an image you created in your own mind.
  143. 5:16An image of a lord that withholds from
  144. 5:19you of a lord that delays of a lord who
  145. 5:22sting you like that's what you're making
  146. 5:25dua to. But Allah is not like that.
  147. 5:27Allah says again call upon me I will
  148. 5:29respond to you. Which means for sure
  149. 5:31you'll be getting a response. And the
  150. 5:33prophet he says that dua is worship
  151. 5:35itself. Meaning when you truly call upon
  152. 5:38Allah you must call with complete
  153. 5:40complete certainty. If the God of the
  154. 5:43heavens and the universe can just do
  155. 5:44this and things get accepted, that means
  156. 5:46that you should be believing, believing
  157. 5:48with your own heart that Allah can do
  158. 5:50this and things will be getting
  159. 5:51accepted. And such certainty, that's the
  160. 5:54bridge between you getting between you
  161. 5:56and you getting your request. The one
  162. 5:58who is inwardly calm after dua has truly
  163. 6:01relied on Allah. But the one who is
  164. 6:03restless and desperate after dua has
  165. 6:06relied on himself. Because your own ego,
  166. 6:08bro, your own ego knows that you
  167. 6:10shouldn't be relying on yourself. Your
  168. 6:12own ego knows that you have limitations.
  169. 6:14And that's why your own ego is getting
  170. 6:16all these fears because you're putting
  171. 6:17all of your attention on something other
  172. 6:19than Allah. When your heart becomes firm
  173. 6:21in trusting the promise of Allah, what
  174. 6:23you asked for starts moving towards you
  175. 6:26without you even chasing it. And that's
  176. 6:27why Allah says your your Lord has not
  177. 6:29forsaken you, nor is he displeased. So
  178. 6:32that's the thing again. When you're
  179. 6:34making dua to Allah, understand exactly
  180. 6:36who are you making dua to. And if you
  181. 6:39still don't know who Allah, that's what
  182. 6:40the Quran is for. Go back to the Quran,
  183. 6:42bro. Go back and read it. And then
  184. 6:44you'll you'll realize like Allah is way
  185. 6:47different than what people are telling
  186. 6:49me and way different than what I
  187. 6:51expected Allah to be. Next. So when
  188. 6:54you're praying for a blessing, wealth,
  189. 6:56marriage, healing, peace, whatever it
  190. 6:58is, understand that you're praying for a
  191. 7:00higher quality or a higher reality. So
  192. 7:04realize every blessing requires a
  193. 7:06container. And right now your soul, it
  194. 7:09might might not be wide enough or big
  195. 7:11enough to receive that container.
  196. 7:14Imagine you ask Allah for the ocean, but
  197. 7:16you come with such a tiny cup. How can
  198. 7:18the ocean fit into your tiny cup? That's
  199. 7:20why Allah says Allah does not burden a
  200. 7:22soul beyond that it can bear. People
  201. 7:24think this is only for problems. No.
  202. 7:26Allah will not put things in your soul
  203. 7:29within your naps that you can't bear
  204. 7:31even if that was goodness. That's why it
  205. 7:32says right here the gifts of Allah
  206. 7:34descend according to the capacity of the
  207. 7:37heart. So if you want Allah to pour more
  208. 7:39into your life than your heart, your
  209. 7:41trust and your identity must expand.
  210. 7:45Allah says once again, Allah does not
  211. 7:47change the condition of a people until
  212. 7:48they change what's within themselves.
  213. 7:50And this is why your your dua or with
  214. 7:54the blessings that you're asking for,
  215. 7:55they're getting delayed. Now, they're
  216. 7:58not getting delayed as a punishment.
  217. 7:59They're really getting delayed as mercy.
  218. 8:01So Allah is giving you time to become
  219. 8:03the person who can carry the thing that
  220. 8:05you're making dua for with gratitude,
  221. 8:07with humility, with responsibility.
  222. 8:10Because the same thing that you're
  223. 8:11praying for, if if it was given to you
  224. 8:13to your old self, it would destroy you.
  225. 8:16It would kill you. Abu Median says, he's
  226. 8:19like, if Allah grants before he
  227. 8:21prepares, the gift becomes a punishment.
  228. 8:24So Allah in his own mercy, sometimes
  229. 8:26hides the blessing until he sees that
  230. 8:29you've purified your soul and you
  231. 8:31trusted his promise. And then once your
  232. 8:33heart is prepared to receive it, Allah
  233. 8:35finally gives you the same thing that
  234. 8:36you're asking dua for. Now, I know some
  235. 8:38of you guys are going to be like, "Bro,
  236. 8:39please then show me. What am I supposed
  237. 8:41to be doing?" Here's what you're
  238. 8:42supposed to be doing. So, step number
  239. 8:44one is you got to have to in your dua.
  240. 8:47We talked about this. We talked about
  241. 8:49this in the beginning of the video. You
  242. 8:50got to know exactly who Allah is. And
  243. 8:52you have to again retach yourself the
  244. 8:55oneness of Allah. So before you make
  245. 8:56dua, remind yourself. And this is not a
  246. 8:58onetime thing where you do it and you're
  247. 9:00done. Moment to moment basis, you remind
  248. 9:02yourself who Allah is. So remind
  249. 9:04yourself, the one I'm asking has no
  250. 9:06limits. the one I'm asking has already
  251. 9:08promised me which he says call upon me I
  252. 9:11will answer you and the scholars they
  253. 9:13say if you knew who you're speaking to
  254. 9:16you would never fear a delay so the
  255. 9:18action here that I'm giving you is start
  256. 9:21your dua by praising Allah's names how
  257. 9:24do you know who Allah is through the 99
  258. 9:26names that he himself introduces himself
  259. 9:29to so if you're asking for say if you're
  260. 9:33asking for healing if you're asking for
  261. 9:35guidance
  262. 9:37And then this is what you use to anchor
  263. 9:39your heart first. So before you even
  264. 9:42ask, know exactly who are you asking.
  265. 9:45The second thing is expand your heart.
  266. 9:47Expand your heart. How do you expand
  267. 9:49your heart? Through gratitude. A small
  268. 9:51vessel can't hold an entire ocean. But
  269. 9:53that's why Allah says if you're
  270. 9:55grateful, I will increase you. So
  271. 9:56there's a law within the universe that
  272. 9:58says gratitude results in an increase.
  273. 10:01An increase in what? Increase in
  274. 10:03everything. The tongue that constantly
  275. 10:05says alhamdulillah is the tongue that
  276. 10:07calls down the floods of mercy. So
  277. 10:09before asking, spend one to three
  278. 10:11minutes listing three things you're
  279. 10:13grateful for. Doesn't matter if you're
  280. 10:15struggling. Doesn't matter if you're if
  281. 10:16you if you think you have nothing else
  282. 10:18that you should be grateful for in your
  283. 10:19life. There is always something that you
  284. 10:21should be grateful for in your life. And
  285. 10:23just having this little shift within you
  286. 10:25before you ask is going to change
  287. 10:27everything. So this is going to soften
  288. 10:29your soul and expand your capacity to
  289. 10:32receive. Next, visualize your dua
  290. 10:35already being answered. And this is what
  291. 10:37is deep contemplation. The prophet
  292. 10:39wasallam he himself
  293. 10:41says for an hour is better than worship
  294. 10:44for 70 years. So literally imagine
  295. 10:46yourself living your dua and start
  296. 10:49feeling the emotion of gratitude as if
  297. 10:51Allah already accepted it. And then
  298. 10:52sometimes people come and ask me they're
  299. 10:53like how can I already feel the emotion
  300. 10:56that Allah accepted my dua? Like isn't
  301. 10:58that basically like tricking myself or
  302. 11:00lying to myself or even like commanding
  303. 11:02Allah? No, you're not commanding Allah.
  304. 11:04What you're doing is that you're
  305. 11:05trusting the promise. Once again, if you
  306. 11:07knew who Allah is, you would know that
  307. 11:10whatever dua you make is going to be
  308. 11:11accepted instantly, which should already
  309. 11:13tell you like you should have such a
  310. 11:15deep trust within you, such a deep
  311. 11:17certainty within you that as soon as you
  312. 11:19say it's going to be accepted, which
  313. 11:20means now you can literally live as if
  314. 11:22it's been accepted because that's how
  315. 11:24much trust you have. This emotional
  316. 11:27expansion, that's what's going to
  317. 11:28program your heart to finally receive.
  318. 11:31And then next, release the burdens in
  319. 11:33your heart, man. Let go. Reliance upon
  320. 11:36Allah is the bird's heart, which means
  321. 11:39it's light. It's trusting and it flies
  322. 11:41towards what it needs without fear.
  323. 11:44That's what I say. So now tell yourself,
  324. 11:47I ask the king of kings, my heart is
  325. 11:50light. The delivery is on its way
  326. 11:52exactly when Allah knows it will benefit
  327. 11:54me most. and then move through the world
  328. 11:56with complete
  329. 11:58certainty. Abdulan he says when you want
  330. 12:01a door to open serve others who are
  331. 12:04still knocking. So while you're waiting
  332. 12:06for your dua to be accepted go and serve
  333. 12:08the creation of Allah. So as simple as
  334. 12:12giving as simple as helping someone else
  335. 12:15get their dua accepted which is exactly
  336. 12:17what I'm doing to you right now. And
  337. 12:19understand what you give Allah writes
  338. 12:21for you multiplied. And that's exactly
  339. 12:24how you stop delaying the things that
  340. 12:27you're making dua for because they're
  341. 12:28already written. All you got to do is
  342. 12:30just start aligning your heart with who
  343. 12:32Allah is and then you'll see those
  344. 12:34things coming faster faster into your
  345. 12:37life. So if this right here helped you,
  346. 12:39if now you realize that you're not
  347. 12:41really missing anything, you're just
  348. 12:44misaligned. And then when you align
  349. 12:45yourself back, you'll be getting exactly
  350. 12:47the thing that you want. If this helps
  351. 12:49you, there is something I want you to
  352. 12:50see. So, I made a quick video that's in
  353. 12:52the description right now that goes even
  354. 12:54deeper into what we just talked about
  355. 12:56right in this video. And I'll be
  356. 12:58revealing three laws from the Quran that
  357. 13:01unlock your abundance, that unlock your
  358. 13:03blessings and your baraka, but for some
  359. 13:05reason, most Muslims, they're still
  360. 13:07blocking it or they're just unknowingly
  361. 13:09violating them. So, if you feel like
  362. 13:11your hard work and those sleepless
  363. 13:12nights, they never really amount to an
  364. 13:14outcome, then you should really see
  365. 13:15this. It'll show you exactly how to stop
  366. 13:17delaying what's already yours and how to
  367. 13:19start receiving what Allah already wrote
  368. 13:21for you with ease and baraka, inshallah.
  369. 13:25So, if this video was helpful, just let
  370. 13:28me know,
