God being Just has given a solution to every problem, all we need to do is look…
Have you ever come across a situation where you feel that there is no-one there to help you, feeling lost, restless and anxious that all you have worked for is going down the drain and feeling like nothing is going your way? Dua is a tool for attracting God’s attention and blessings. His attention removes calamity from the life of one who supplicated and brings about unfathomable blessings for the suppliant.
Dua is the expression of the deprived one, it is the pronunciation to the Eternal Absolute, seeking the assistance of the power from the All-Powerful, a demonstration of humility to the Omnipotent and is loved by Him (Allah) and is dear to every mystic and every desperate one. God has created everything in perfection and a solution to every problem: he created food for the hungry, water for the thirsty and intellect for the scholar. It is unjust if the All-Just doesn’t solve our daily problems. Therefore, God being Just has given a solution to every problem, all we need to do is look.
