Question

I live in Sydney and I have average class werking parents. I have everything they have given me and I get money from the pension. But despite reciting all the duas I have come across, I haven't been able to find success in any business venture I have undertaken and this disappoints my parents very deeply and I get very depressed. Is there any dua which I can recite and achieve success in my working life? azak allah khairan.

Answer

The prophet SAW said, I know of an ayah that if people were to hold on to it, it would suffice them "He who fears Allah, Allah will make an opening for him, and grant him sustenance from sources he could never imagine, and Allah is sufficient for the one who puts his trust in him" (ibne maajah) (ayah of soorah Talaq) It is narrated by Abu Hurairah RA that the Prophet SAW said, Allah SWT says ,If my servants are obedient to me, I would send down rain during the night and spread sunlight during the day and I will not make them hear the sound of thunder." (Ahmad) Abu Darda RA says the Prophet SAW said,"A persons sustenance searches for him just as his death does" (hilyah) We understand from the Quran and many ahadeeth, that trust and obedience of Allah is the key to increasing ones sustenance. This is because Allah SWT is the one who owns the treasures of the skies and earth, it will only make sense to make our lives subservient to his commands. One should remember that whatever is written for man, will reach him. We should make sure that all our faraaid (compulsory) acts are in order, further, the best way of asking Allah SWT for assistance is through salaah. We should try not to become despondant or depressed, instead we should remember that Allah SWT will increase our sustenance when the time is right. Also ask your parents for their duas as there is great strength in the dua of a mother and father.

And Allah knows best.
