Effectiveness Of Supplication (Dua)
Dua (supplication) is our expression of dependence upon the Almighty God. While there are many factors in the resolution of a dua in our preferred manner, including our own effort in achieving such a resolution, one must understand that dua is not a guarantee that we will definitely achieve what we’re seeking. God has destined certain things for us without any dua, while He has conditionally destined other things as a result of us asking Him. Moreover, if a person continues to sincerely ask God while still making the required effort, our collective experience tells us that at some point in the future we either achieve our desired results or we ourselves get to realize the divine wisdom behind not achieving what we were asking for.
