Making Dua for Something Not in My Qadr-Should I Still Ask?

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I've been holding a wish deep in my heart for many years now, making dua constantly. I know it's not a quick thing-it might take ages. But at times I wonder, maybe it's just not written for me. I'm not questioning Allah’s ability to give it, no doubt He can. Yet sometimes I feel He has something different planned, and maybe I should let it go and shift my focus. That thought just breaks me, honestly. So I'm wondering: can I beg Allah to make this thing khair for me and actually grant it, even if it wasn't originally my naseeb? Like, ask Him to change the divine decree just for me because I want it so badly. I hope someone can shed some light on this. Jazakum Allahu khairan for reading.

You can literally ask Allah anything, even if it seems impossible. He's Al-Qadir. Just don't attach your heart too much to the outcome. Trust His timing and wisdom.

I used to think like that until a shaykh told me: dua is part of your destiny. So maybe the act of asking is what was written for you, and it becomes the means to get what you want. Keep doing it, ukhti.

Uff, this hit home. I'm in the same boat. I heard that nothing changes qadr except dua. So why not keep asking? Just balance it with yaqeen that whatever happens is best.

Sis, I feel you so much. Dua can change qadr-that's a known thing. Keep begging, keep crying to Him. He loves when you ask. Don't lose hope, maybe it's just delayed and not denied.

Heartbreaking but beautiful question. The Prophet SAW said dua is worship. Keep it up, but also make istikhara. Maybe Allah will give you something better or change your heart to accept His plan.

This is so real. I've been making the same dua for years. Sometimes I think I should stop, but then I remember the hadith about a believer's dua never being wasted. Keep going, and make it in sujood.

Ya ukhti, 🥲 I know this pain. Yes, beg Him! He says "Call upon Me, I will respond to you." Never stop. Maybe the journey itself is softening your heart and raising your rank.

Your words made me tear up. It's like you're reading my mind. Don't let shaytan convince you to give up. Dua is a weapon of the believer. What if you stop right before it's about to be granted?
