Unanswered Duas

It is difficult not to have one’s dua not answered in times of tribulation.  You make the dua for weeks, months, maybe even years.  After awhile, the dua becomes half-baked.  You do it only mechanically and kind of just for the sake of doing so.  I look to my inner self: am I committing sin?  Is my food and income halal?  I don’t think I’m committing any major sins.  I mean I’m not perfect but I’ve made many changes in my life alhamdulillah.  I’ve quit music, switched zabiha/halal meat, and more.  I know there’s a wisdom, I know every dua counts, but sometimes one gets disheartened, especially in times of true necessity and fear.  *sigh*

Where’ve I Been?!

Oh my goodness, where HAVE I been?

Alhamdulillah I had the blessing of venturing to Mecca and Medina for hajj!  This has been absolutely uplifting and is doing wonders for my state. 

Even more beautiful, Allah has allowed me to go in is (or rather was) what probably the lowest point in my life.  How merciful is He!

Insha’Allah I will be back to write more. :)
