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*
