Ok, so turns out I might be impatient. I think I’ve told people that I have given up on duas altogether, and yes this might be true. I still make duaa as if I hadn’t but deep down I don’t feel the same as I used to. I used to be fully invested in my duas and they used to work so well. I would design my life through these duas and when one failed, I was fine! But now, 5/5 of my duas this Ramadan failed and still are failing, which make me even less inclined to make duas. But if this advice is correct, of Allah withholding my duas from me because no only did I feel rejected and sad about my duas not working, I went and declared duas not working for me. Altogether. Maybe the test lies in would I continue to make duaa and accept my fate, or would I give up? So far I’m failing. I don’t want to be attached to any more of my duas and therefore it’s easier to believe duas don’t work for me. But I know I’m not an oddity. If they don’t work for me, they won’t work for anyone. And if they worked last year, they should work every year. Allah doesn’t change his rules, but rather I change my beliefs. I need to start believing in my duas and believe that Allah knows best. But most of all I need to learn how to deal with a rejected dua (given I have the worlds most specific or time sensitive duas) and how to regroup and move on. But now, a rejected dua later, face the crossroads of this. Do I, apply to other jobs (yes) and not get attached to any of them (probably for the best) and not put my eggs in the basket of maybe being disappointed again. Or, do I continue to make passionate duas with the chance that Allah knowing best, I may not get it. And if that happens, to bounce back and trying again for something else. As easy as it is to say the latter, I worry I’m not emotionally adept just yet. I need to learn how to be passionate yet unattached iA. The job that rejected me was a remote position that I was so qualified for but had training in Vietnam. Sounds crazy but perfect for me. The job was closed by the time I submitted it. Obv it wasn’t meant to be, Alhamduillah. If this was just another test, I pray I pass. Maybe I would have hated Vietnam. Maybe I wouldn’t have liked the job. Maybe the wouldn’t have liked me and sent me back early. Maybe another job is waiting for me that I’m better suited for. Allah knows best. -- source link
