Seek Help Through Patience and Prayer

O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.

And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah , "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.

And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,

Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return."

Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.


Qur'an 2:153-157

Avoid Seeking a Quick Response

You should avoid seeking a quick response, for this is one of the problems that may prevent the du’aa’ from being accepted.

It is narrated by Abu Hurayra (R.A)

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

“One of you may be answered so long as he is not hasty and says, ‘I said du’aa’ but I got no response.’” 


[Al-Bukhaari, 6340; Muslim, 2735.]
