"Du'aa powered"

Assalamu'alaykum!

First off, I apologize for being soo very MIA lately. There's a whole lot of excuses I could go into, but I think it's better I do something about it instead, sooooo here's my post!

It's actually something I've been thinking of a lot lately. Maybe it's just me, but have you ever wondered how something you thought was so very unreal and unlikely just happens? For example, thinking about school again, you cram for an exam, and know there's no way you'll do well, then you do end up doing way better than you thought! Alhamdulillah.

That seems to happen to me a lot, and I've started using a term for it (I don't know if it's already a term or not, tried googling it but nothing came up!) : "du'aa powered"

That's because, when you think back to it, you remember all of your studying attempts, but you also remember that you told nearly every person you saw and/or are close to, to make du'aa for you!

As much as you also make du'aa, you also tell everyone else to also, since we don't know who's du'aa will be accepted and at what time!

It's a reminder of the power of du'aa, and that nothing we do is really from us, everything is ultimately from Allah SWT and we should remember and praise Him for it.

It's a reminder to myself before anything else. I tend to carry around my iPhone charger nearly everywhere I feel okay charging it, and maybe you do that too, but how often do we recharge our du'aa supply? Just like battery powered cars, let's become du'aa and iman powered people insha'Allah!

So, I'll end with this cheesy saying which I like anyway,

Have YOU charged your du'aas yet?

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Any Muslim who supplicates to Allah in a Du’a which contains no sin of breaking kinship, Allah will give him one of three things: either his Du’a will be answered immediately; or it will be saved for him in the hereafter; or it will turn away an equivalent amount of evil (from him)". The companions said: "Then we will ask for more." The Prophet replied: "Allah is even more (generous)." (Reported by Ahmad and Tirmidhi).
