Seeking a worldly dua to be answered, not just in Jannah

Assalamu alaikum. So I shared my issue before, and alhamdulillah I got some kind replies, but not the actual guidance I’m looking for. Let me briefly say I’ve been making a dua for a long time, and I’m really desperate for it. I’m trying to be patient, but my dua hasn’t been answered, and the situation turned out completely opposite, breaking my heart. The pain drove me to the point where I stopped praying. I know that makes me sound like a huge sinner, right? Probably in your eyes. In the previous responses, people told me to trust Allah-I do, it’s not that I don’t believe. But I feel so distant from Him after what happened. I cried so much, wondering why it became the total opposite of what I’ve been begging for, for years. I asked for it only to see this? And about talking to my parents, I can’t and I won’t. It’s something I can only share with Allah, and His answer only made me feel further from Him. The dua I’m asking for is worldly, not about the afterlife. I want it to happen in this life, not in Jannah. What’s the point if it happens there, when Jannah is already a place of peace and desires fulfilled? That just doesn’t make sense to me. I might sound really rude and harsh, but please try to understand my perspective. Also, we know duas are answered in three ways: 1. Exactly what you asked for. 2. It becomes a protection from harm. 3. It’s compensated in the afterlife. And honestly, I want my dua to happen exactly in this world-I’m scared it’ll end up as option 2 or 3 instead of 1. So I’m asking, is it possible for my dua to be answered exactly as I want, right here in this dunya? Not reserved for the afterlife or used as a shield. I can make dua for protection and for Jannah separately. But about my worldly desires-I crave them, as a human. It’s not always about the afterlife. Please forgive me if I sound awful, but this is the true state of my heart that no one knows except Allah and you. I can’t share it with my parents or friends. Is a worldly dua really accepted 100% the way we want, or will I be left disappointed again?

I feel you, sis. It's human to want things in this dunya. But remember, Allah's wisdom is beyond ours. Maybe He's protecting you from something you can't see. Still, keep making dua-sometimes it takes years, but it comes in the most unexpected way.

SubhanAllah, your honesty is refreshing. So many of us hide this feeling. Yes, worldly duas are valid, and they CAN be answered exactly as you want-I've experienced it. But the timing is Allah's. Please, pick up your prayer again, even if it's just two rakaats with tears.

Sister, I'm sending you so much love. It's not awful to want things in dunya-we're human. But don't underestimate the power of istighfar. Sometimes sins block blessings. Try praying salat al-haja and never lose hope. Your miracle might be one dua away.

Your words hit deep. I know that desperation. But think: maybe the opposite result is actually a better path? I've seen that in my own life. Keep pouring your heart out in tahajjud-Allah loves those who persist, even when they're broken.

Wallahi I broke down reading this. It's so hard when you beg for something and get the opposite. I'm no scholar, but I've heard of people whose duas were answered after decades. Don't give up on Allah, even when your heart is shattered.
