What can we do when we start to lose hope and give up on Dua?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We need to remind ourselves about these facts:

1. The Mercy of Allah is much greater that our imaginations and bigger than all the difficulties. Allah says in Quran : And My Mercy involved everything (Sura 7, Verse 156).

2. Allah is The Absolute Able to Grant whatever He wants to whomever He wants. We need to keep on seeking from Him and we should never lose hope in His Mercy.

3. We don't know when it will be good for us to get our wishes, so, we must trust Allah's Wisdom and Mercy which will definitely come whenever Allah Knows that it is good for us.

If my prayer for something has not been answered, should I keep on praying and not lose hope the way Prophet Yaqub (a) did? Or should I convince myself that it was not good for me and have patience and accept that I will never get what I wanted?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) was asked a similar question by a person called Maisarah. Imam replied him: O Maisarah, keep on praying and nether think that the matter has been ruled out.

you should keep praying and seeking from Allah to grant you what He knows that it is good for you.

I had asked Allah for forgiveness of a particular sin and had sworn by Allah that I wouldn't do it again and I should be given a huge punishment if I do. I did the sin again today and now I feel very worried. Is there any hope for me now?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah The Glorious, The Forgiver, The Most Merciful, Most Compassionate Has kept the gate of repentance open for all sinners who really and sincerely repent and decide not to commit the sin again. If they do it again, the gate of forgiveness will not be closed if they sincerely repent.

Keep on seeking forgiveness and never loose hope in The Mercy of Allah.

Wassalam.
