Dream Big When You Make Dua!
Salaam, everyone. I feel like there's this idea that we gotta be super humble and small in what we ask Allah for. But think about it. We might ask for just a tiny raise in a job that makes us unhappy, instead of praying for a huge, successful halal business. We ask just to get into Jannah, instead of asking for the very highest level, Jannatul Firdaus. We might even make dua for that one person who gave us a bit of attention, instead of asking for the most amazing, loving, and supportive spouse that would be perfect for our deen and dunya. Why do we do that? Allah (SWT) is infinite, Al-Wasi'. This whole world isn't even a speck to Him. If you're asking for something halal, why put a limit on it? Why think small? Especially during these blessed last nights of Ramadan, I really encourage you to be bold and ambitious in your duas. Ask for the big things, the best things. And then see what Allah, the Most Generous, can do. Trying to be 'realistic' all the time? That's a way of thinking for those who don't have the support of Al-Kareem. We have the support of the Most Generous, so let's ask like we truly believe that.
