So, you make dua after 5 prayers or at any time of the day or night. So, can you think that the dua that you are asking of Allah Almighty is way right, or are you just asking for what you want and that’s over?
I’m going to give you an analogy to help you understand what I’m trying to convey.
Learn what to ask Allah Almighty
I haven’t made my point yet; somebody was out at sea, and their ship hit a rock, and the ship sank, and this guy is holding on to a piece of wood, and he’s Alvin Sea, and he is making dua to Allah Almighty. Now, at that point, you can make 2 Duas:
1: “Ya Allah, transpose me from here to an island immediately, make the rain stop, make the storm stop.”
2: “Ya Allah, give me the strength to overcome this difficulty.”
Now, when he makes dua, “Ya Allah, send me a helicopter right away, pick me up into the sky, and get me to an island.” He makes the dua over and over; a helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, and no helicopter came, and then he says, Allah (SWT) didn’t even send a hope.

In other words, he is making dua, for example, he wants the rate that does the ocean to turn into land: “Ya Allah, you have the power to change into anything.” You made all of this, so you could just convert this ocean into land right now!
So, you mean you turned Ibrahim (AS) fire and made it cool. So, you can do that for me, and it doesn’t turn; it’s still the ocean, and you are still drowsing slowly. You know the point that I’m trying to make is oftentimes.
We think the purpose of dua is to change the real around us; we focus on changing the reality around us, but if you study the doors in the Quran and the majority of the doors in the sun not carefully, you’ll notice that the change you’re asking for is a change in yourself.
Ya Allah, I’m in a difficult test. Give me the ability to change the test. I’ll give you a simple example: some student is about to go take an exam; you can make two kinds of dua’s.
1: “Ya Allah, give me the ability to understand the subject matter; let me concentrate. You know, Allah, give me the ability to not be nervous while I’m taking the test; let me not get lazy. You make duas for yourself.”
2: “Ya Allah, make this. I know it’s a medical exam, but you’re converted, converted into a second-grade math exam for me, so I don’t have to have this problem.”
Either you want to change reality, or you want to empower yourself. For most people that are weak in their faith, they don’t think about empowering or changing themselves; they just want to change the reality around them and keep asking Allah to change the reality around them, and does it change?
“NO.” When it doesn’t change, they blame Allah Almighty. They turn to the Alliance, and how come you didn’t change the world around me? How come you didn’t turn everything, you know, on a silver platter for me? You want a reality to submit to you.

You have to learn first to submit to Allah, and you don’t come to Allah when you need something; you don’t just come to Allah when there’s a problem; you come to Allah all the time; you’re submissive before Allah constantly until that attitude is developed, and by the way, there will be a time when reality will submit around us, and that time is actually when we meet with Allah.
Conclusion:
“I’ll give that right now; you’re going to experience some times of good and other times of test, and the only reason he gives you a test, the only reason he gives you a test, is because he wants you to pass so you can qualify for that general. He wants you to go through these trials because they will bring you closer to me. So, at the end, take care of yourself, and may Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessing be on you.
