Dua or manifestations?

[notanaimous123]

Salamalakum,

People who say make duas and manifesting through dua that it will doesn't make sense to me and makes me have doubts in Islam, im confused is it a manifestation? Or is a dua an actual call for help to Allah and Allah hears it and gives it to you? This issue gives me doubts in Islam. Please someone help and explain this to me.

Why do people say you will only get dua answered if you believe Allah will answer the dua? that is just like manifestation. So are we manifesting when we make duas or is Allah himself giving it to us.

Dua is call for help and it shows and manifests your confidence in Allah (عزّ وجلّ) but it doesn't mean that Allah (عزّ وجلّ) will grant you everything that you asked in dua rather He (عزّ وجلّ) keeps away those things which might harm you in long term or affects your Iman and will give you reward for making dua in the next world. It is not necessary that If a person has belief in Allah (عزّ وجلّ), his all duas will be granted.  If you have highest belief in Allah (عزّ وجلّ), you will be patient over things which you are not granted in this life and realize the wisdom in it when the time comes. Also, duas have varying means to help you such as sometimes, through dua, you are provided with opportunities, sometimes, it requires you to act to achieve your goal and Allah (عزّ وجلّ) does the rest and helps you multiply your rewards, and, sometimes you are directly granted things but you have to be humble. 

As regards belief in Allah (عزّ وجلّ), even the wishes of unbelievers are met. However, through dua, Allah (عزّ وجلّ) grants you guidance to do more good while unbeliever is deprived from it because he does not make dua. 

Also, manifestation is necessary because you establish evidence of your loyalty before Allah (عزّ وجلّ) which you will be shown on the day of judgement and rewarded for it.

Why are nonbelievers duas met? Where does it say that in Islam? And can you explain why you must manifest through dua in order for it to be met?

i did not say duas of disbelievers are met, I said wishes of disbelievers are met. There is difference between a granted dua or a granted wish. While when dua is granted, it increases Iman of a believer but if wish of non-believer is granted, it increases him in unbelief.

I did not say that dua must be manifested so that it be accepted. One can make dua where no one except Allah (عزّ وجلّ) watches him. However, manifestation of a dua may be held as a good evidence for his belief in hereafter if a person is seen making dua in all conditions. Plus, manifestation may also work to inspire his children, family and associates to have firm belief in Allah (عزّ وجلّ) as a Muslim is bound to always share the best things with all humanity for it is an act of charity rather than withholding it and be a miser which isn't a good thing.

Salaam,

In surah Baqara 186, Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) says:

Arabic (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186):

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

English (Sahih International translation):

"And when My servants ask you about Me—indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be rightly guided."

Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) says that He is near and He responds to the invocation of the SUPPLICANT, He doesn't say He responds only to the call of the Muslim, or the Christian, or the Jew, or the Hindu or anything specific. The only qualification that exists is that the caller be a sincere supplicant.

This verse is extremely important. There are His favors that He bestows upon all of His creation as He is responsible for everything's maintenance and then there are those that are special favors that according to Islam, come down on his pious Muslim servants, .so this verse is actually very all-encompassing when it comes to why people of other faiths may have their prayers answered and at times Muslims may not, but the primary thing here is that a person has to be a sincere caller from within their very heart, not somebody willy-nilly who just asks for something.

Another verse that's used to back up this understanding, is how when Prophet Jonas was in the belly of the whale, it wasn't until he cried out to God and said "there is no God but you, I have been an oppressor of my own soul", and then Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) forgave him and he was expelled on to land. At that point when he cried out, there was nothing else in existence for Prophet Jonas- there was only Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). He was THE most sincere caller at that point.
