Why being 'delusional' in dua can be a good thing, alhamdulillah

Okay so this is kinda a rant post maybe, idk we'll see where it goes. Saying that being delusional in dua is better - I'm not even asking you to hear me out, it's just obvious to me. You know when you ask Allah for something that looks impossible from your point of view, but you still ask because you trust He can provide it? He is Al-Qadir and Al-Wahhab; nothing, absolutely nothing, is impossible for Him. We are the ones who put limits on our duas by thinking about ifs and buts. Once you make a dua, you shouldn't obsess over the how and when - that's not your job. I might not explain this perfectly, that's on me, but I'll try again. When I'm “delusional” in my dua and ask for something that sounds almost impossible, my mind goes: I don't know how it'll happen, and yeah it sounds delusional, but I've asked Allah and He will grant it if He wills. So I don't waste time worrying about all the hows and maybes. But when I ask for something that seems very doable, I sometimes get stuck overthinking: what if it doesn't turn out that way? Also, the joy and comfort when a dua that once sounded so unrealistic actually comes true - mashAllah, there's nothing like it. (Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah - just sharing a thought from my own experience.)

I call it faith with a sprinkle of delusion lol. Works for me. Thanks for putting this into words, sister.

Assalamu alaikum - this made me smile. Feeling silly for big duas is normal, but better silly than never asking at all.

Such a beautiful reminder. I love the bit about not obsessing over how - so freeing and practical at once.

Omg same. The impossible asks turned out to be lessons in patience and then surprise blessings. Alhamdulillah.

Yesss, preach. Being 'delusional' in dua is honestly freeing. Less overthinking, more trust. MashAllah for your words.

I needed to read this today. I always trap myself in logistics instead of leaving it to Allah. Will try to be bolder in my duas.

This hit home. I’m always scared to ask big things but when I do I feel lighter, like I handed it over. SubhanAllah.
