Many people are making dua for you

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

This is the first time I really feel stressed with my study. I usually will only get stressed over matters that related to relationships (mu'amalah) with other humans or organising events that really exhibit my reputation or the reputation of the organisation that I represent. But this time, it is about my study. Time is really pressing me and my pace is still slow, really slow that it really worries me. I don't know if I can achieve the target that I have planned before the summer holiday. I am still at the stage of analysing when I should be doing writing-up only. I constantly feeling headache (and probably migraine) and tiny little thing can make me sick. I was caught in rain yesterday and now I am getting flu, sneezing non-stop this whole morning.

I don't know why, whenever I am down, I always remember these 2 friends of mine, Dina & Sarah. Funnily, they are both Egyptians (I am not bigging-up the Egyptian) and are two great sisters that I have ever known in UK. I texted Dina and she replied me to work hard and remember that 'many people are making dua for you, mA'. I phoned Sarah and she laughed over it and gave me the same reply ' everyone is making dua for you'. I nearly cried when they told me so. I am really touched by this. Even when I am typing this post, I can hardly bear the tears from falling down. From these words, I can feel the strength to gather pieces of me again and focus on my study. Alhamdulillah.

for you, knowing that they care about you, knowing that they are unselfishly making an effort to include me in their Such is the power of dua, the strongest weapon of success that I can never have if I am not a muslim. The feeling of hope, worry, fear & reliance, mix into 1 simple dua that is definitely heard by ALLAH Most High. Knowing that many people (pious people, mashaALLAH) are making duadua, knowing that ALLAH is listening to everyone of them, how can my heart not come to a tranquil state. Beside gratitude, I have nothing to say to them (whoever they are) except this hadith:

The Prophet(saw) said: “The dua of a Muslim for his brother (in Islam) in his absence is readily accepted. An angel is appointed to his side. Whenever he makes a beneficial dua for his brother the appointed angel says, ‘Aameen. And may you also be blessed with the same.’”

~ Sahih Muslim

May ALLAH love them, help them, bless them & preserve them, grant them reward and success in this World and the Hereafter. Amin.

Wassalam.
