Sincere Duʿa Is Never Wasted
Zakariyyā (ʿalayhis-salām) called out to Allah:.. رَبِّ اِنِّىۡ وَهَنَ الۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّىۡ وَاشۡتَعَلَ الرَّاۡسُ شَيۡبًا وَّلَمۡ اَكُنۡۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا
“...My Lord! Surely my bones have become brittle, and grey hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord!” (19:4).
Abu Jaʿfar (raḥimahullāh) said: “He means: O Lord, I was never left disappointed in calling upon You. Every time I turned to You in need, You responded and fulfilled it.”
Sincere duʿā’ is never wasted. Call out to Allah with humility, respect and love just as Zakariyyā (ʿalayhis-salām) did. You will find that Your Lord hears, responds, and never leaves you disappointed.
