We begin in the Name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Merciful and Compassionate,
We ask that He ﷻ sends Peace and Blessings upon our noble and beloved
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Ibn al-Qayyim tells us that on the Day of Judgment, people will see mountains of reward and wonder where they came from, having no memory of such deeds.

Allah ﷻ will inform them that these rewards are for the patience they showed when their du'as were not answered. In that moment, they will feel no regret—only gratitude. In fact, they will wish that none of their du'as had been answered, realizing the immense reward that came from their patience.

Every unanswered prayer in this life is, in reality, a hidden blessing from Allah ﷻ.

May Allah ﷻ grant us patience in times of unanswered prayers, make us content with His decree, and reward us with what is best for us in this life and the next.

أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم، فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
