Salam alaikum everybody, i have a question regarding dua. So we all know dua is accepted in 3 ways: granted as it is, removes harm or saved for the hereafter. My question is does making that same dua over and over again, years even, continuously, change the way it's answered ? Like maybe it has removed a harm coming my way and since i'm still making it will have a chance to be actually granted ? This seems weird to ask but i'm genuinely wondering. If there's any people of knowledge i'd love to have an answer because idk who to ask.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise, a house in the middle of Paradise, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who gives up arguing even if he is right.

Often times what I see on this subreddit and others is that people start out respectfully debating ideas but then soon it devolves into an ego-driven exchange. People keep on replying because they don't want the other to "have the last word." They think stopping replying means they've "lost the argument."

Often these internet arguments devolve into name calling "you're so dumb," or something. Often, I see on reddit arguments a reasonable person who's respectfully trying to explain ideas and the other person is being condescending, name calling, and not listening. I always remind the first person that giving up arguing is aligned with Islamic ethics.

Next time you are in an online debate with someone, make a mental checklist before you hit Reply each time. It is in Islamic ethics to constantly examine our niyyah (intention). Intentions can subtly change over the course of an argument.

Checklist before everytime you hit Reply:

- What percentage of my niyyah (intention) is a genuine attempt to provide guidance or exchange of ideas? What percentage of my niyyah is out of a fear of losing?

- Am I afraid that silence will look like defeat?

- Am I mocking, belittling, or using sarcasm? Is my language pleasing to Allah SWT?

- Would I be happy if I was proven wrong?

- Has the conversation become counterproductive? Is the other person mocking, insulting, or refusing to engage honestly?

Takeaway

As Muslims, we must fight our nafs to purify ourselves of arrogance. Sometimes, this can come in the form of arguing because you're afraid of looking like you lost. Even if you know you're right.

If you have made key points and the other person isn't listening, then walk away. You cannot force acceptance of an idea immediately but you can plant a seed. Readers can read both sides and judge for themselves.

(SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS POST ALREADY BUT I’M JUST RE UPLOADING BECAUSE I DELETED IT TOO SOON)

I know people say that you should never underestimate the power of Allah, but isn’t it unrealistic to make dua for “the impossible?”

I’ve finished my exams but I honestly don’t believe I did too great and I’m really worried about my grades. Not only that, but I’ve been wanting to attend a really good university and after my exams, I believe I definitely did not get the grades I needed, though I do not get my results until August. Despite the last 2 years consisting of hardcore revision and discipline, I missed many questions during my exams due to limited time constraints, and the ones that I DID answer, were not at the best of my abilities. My question is, would it be unrealistic to have hope? I really want to attend to get the grades that I know I deserve, and the university that I’ve been wanting to attend, but I genuinely did not perform to well during my exams and it’s bringing me a lot of stress and worry. I feel as if making dua is my only hope, but even with that I don’t believe I’ll get/have gotten the grades.

Assalāmu ‘alaykum

Since my time studying in Egypt is unfortunately coming to an end, I have to start thinking about my goals and my time in the UK. One of those goals is educating and preparing myself for marriage - may Allāh make it easy for the brothers that are/will be searching.

Do you all have any tips on topics to research, and any specific material to go through?

What I currently have in mind is:

Topics - fiqh & virtues of marriage & women, women's psychology and traits, reasons for Muslim divorce, gender roles, how to give da‘wah

Materials - The Marriage Guide by Sheikh Albānī, Marital Guide by Sheikh ibn Bāz, Marriage and Divorce playlist by Sheikh Abū Suḥaib, Words of Advice Regarding Da‘wah by Sheikh ibn Bāz

BārakAllāh fīkum
