When Dua Is Not Accepted, Resorting to Dargahs

“Some people link divine help with their duas being accepted. They think if their dua is not accepted, then God is not pleased with them, and many end up going for shortcuts like amulets and even to dargah to get their wish fulfilled. What is your opinion on this?”Asked by Muhammad Imran, Ahmedabad

His answer, in his own words

jazak Allah. molana, sawal lena chahenge. yeh sawal bheja hai ahmedabad se muhammad imran sahab ne. unhone likha hai: "Molana, some people link divine help with their duas being accepted. They think if their dua is not accepted, then God is not pleased with them, and many end up going for shortcuts like taweez aur even to dargah to get their wish fulfilled." molana, what is your opinion on this? dekhiye, taweez aur dargah toh bilkul absurd cheezein hain. inka Islam se koi taluq nahi hai. bilkul taluq nahi hai, bilkul taluq nahi hai.

dua jo hai, dua toh Quran se sabit hai, hadith se sabit hai, rasool Allah ki sunnat se sabit hai. dua bohat hi bari cheez hai. lekin yaad rakhiye, dua fifty-fifty hai. dua ka muamla fifty-fifty hai. yaani aadha kaam aap karte hain, aadha kaam Allah ke hukum se, faisle karte hain. toh aap agar apna aadha kaam na karein toh kuch bhi hone wala nahi. kuch bhi nahi hoga, kuch bhi nahi. toh iske maani kya hain? dua shuru hoti hai discovery se, marifat se. sab se pehle aap ko jaanna padta hai ke what is the plan of God Allah ki planning kya hai?
31:38
main apne aap ko kahan khada karoon? apne aap ko kahan khada karoon? jaise baarish ho rahi hai, aap apne aap ko maidan mein khada karna padega. pahad ki choti par khada hoon toh baarish nahi milegi aap ko. pahaad ki choti par khade ho jayein aap toh aap ko baarish nahi milegi. aap ko maidan mein khada karna padega, tab baarish milegi.

toh dua ka aaghaz dua ke kalmaat dua se nahi hai, harghiz nahi hai. dua ka aaghaz hai sab se pehle yeh ek cheez janne ka, iski discovery karne ka ke Allah ki iski options kya hain, Allah ki planning kya hai. main kaise apne aap ko is mein lagaoon? misaal ke taur par dekhiye, Allah taala ne beeswi sadi mein English zabaan ko international zabaan bana diya. British Empire ko ek ek aalami empire bana diya. yeh kaha jata tha ke the sun never set in the British Empire toh hum is mein ladne lage.
32:58
jaane nahi ke Allah ki planning kya hai. yeh bilkul main samajhta hoon ke jo log lade woh andhe bhare log the. toh aap ko bohat is ko lena chahiye tha ba-taur opportunity ko, na ke ba-taur dushmani ko. british empire hamari dushman nahi thi, hamari opportunity thi. yani is ne sari dunya mein darwaza khol diya dawat ka. unhein wahi to laya dunya mein communication, unhi ki zuban mein to communication laya. to un ke zamane mein Allah ne communication khola, international language paida ki. to doriye is is mawaqe ko avail karne ke liye.
33:40
to british empire ka zamana jadeed opportunity ko avail karne ka zamana tha. jo log british ab wahan se lade, mera khayal hai woh bilkul andhe bhare log thay. kuch unhein pata nahi tha. khwamkhwah lade. yani apne apne hamiyon se lade. woh to aap ke hami thay, aap ki himayat ke liye nikle thay. woh jo lad rahe hain, is ko talwar mar rahe hain, is ko pathar mar rahe hain. yeh andha pan hi hai. isi ko kaha gaya hai ke fitna dohama.
34:16
fitna dohama jo hai, is ko kaha jata hai ke utter darkness. yeh fitna dohama tha. phir utter jab mawaqe almi mawaqe khule to musalman utter darkness mein par gaye, andhe pan mein par gaye. woh lad rahe hain, khwamkhwah lad rahe hain. avail nahi kiya is ko. yani sare almi mawaqe khule hain british empire ke zamane mein. is ko avail kijiye. ladna kya hai?

molana, kuch aur comments parhna chahein ge. sajid anwar sahib ne mumbai se likha hai: "Molana, my takeaway from today's lecture is, irrespective of the situation, one always finds himself amidst Dawa opportunities. What we are required is to avail the same. I rededicate myself for this Dawa mission." doctor naghma siddiqui ne dilli se likha hai: "It is thrilling to know that all of God's opportunities have been universalized. We just have to open our minds and plan, and the whole world will come to our support." mashallah.
35:39
mehtab ahmad sahib ne dhampur se likha hai: "Molana sahib, beshak aap ki baat hundred percent sahi hai. react na karna se bohat bara benefit milta hai. is ka mujhe khud experience hua. jazak Allah molana sahib." mashallah. doctor junaid shaikh ne mumbai se likha hai: "Molana, no one except you discovered the concept de-monopolization and outsourcing, which are greatest blessings of God Almighty. jazak Allah. mashallah.
36:17
molana, agla sawal lete hain. yeh asad parvez sahib ne likha hai Kuwait se. unhon ne likha hai: "Molana, I have heard from many Muslims in the West say that they need a leader or a strong community leadership.
