Am I just fooling myself?

Assalamu alaikum, I went for Umrah this year, and I really wanted to get into a certain university. Honestly, that was all I prayed for in Makkah and Madinah. But guess what? I didn’t get in and ended up choosing another university instead. Now, I didn’t even meet the grade requirements for that second university, so everything feels like a mess. Yet, weirdly, I’m not upset at all. I have this feeling inside telling me that Allah is actually planning to give me what I originally wanted. Am I being delusional? Because I made that dua with so much certainty and trust in Allah that now this rejection feels like it’s really just redirection toward what I prayed for.

Wallah, this hit home. I made dua for a job in Makkah, got rejected, but later found something way better. Trust that feeling, it's from Allah.

SubhanAllah, the peace you feel is a sign. Our plans are nothing compared to Allah's. He knows what we don't. Hang in there, sister!

Not delusional at all! Dua made with yaqeen is never wasted. Maybe this other uni is just a stepping stone. Allah's plans are always better.

You're not fooling yourself-you're just having tawakkul! Maybe Allah is preparing you through this other uni first. Keep making dua, sis.

Girl, I totally get you. Sometimes what we think is rejection is Allah's way of protecting us from something we can't see. Keep trusting Him, sis.
