“Whenever one of you makes dufiā√ and asks for something from
Allāh, don’t say: ‘O Allāh forgive me my sins if You like, pity me if

You like, and bestow on me fortune if You like’. However, be of firm,
sincere resolve in your dufiā√; indeed Allāh does what He wills and

138
there is nothing that compels Him”.
7. Be indifferent and be controlled by desires. The Messenger of

Allāh  said:

“All of you make dufiā√ to Allāh with the certitude of conviction that
it will be granted, and know that Allāh does not grant the dufiā√

139
from a heart that is negligent and careless”.

If a Muslim has already made dufiā√ and endeavored to fulfill
its terms, as well as endeavored to avoid the barriers that prevent

the granting of ‘his’ dufiā√, yet it is still not granted then ‘he’ must

be patient and accepting, certain that Allāh possesses much higher
wisdom, that Allāh is merciful to His servants and a servant does

not know the consequences of ‘his’ destined tasks. Sometimes a

person hopes for something, even though it is bad for ‘him’ and ‘he’
does not like something even though it is good for ‘him’:
