My Journey with Istighfar and Surah Al-Baqarah – Six Months Later

For the past six months, I’ve been saying istighfar over a thousand times every day and making sure I finish Surah Al-Baqarah within three days each time. Honestly, my reason was to see some barakah in my life and to get one particular du’a answered. But I’m struggling. I’ve even added tahajjud to my routine, but I can’t point to any real change. Life feels the same as before. I keep hearing about people who got better jobs or more rizq after doing this, but for me, nothing seems different. I know the reward is in the Hereafter, but I’m feeling a bit lost right now.
