Respected Mufti Saheb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh<\/em><\/p>\n

I am continuously being afflicted by calamities and difficulties. I also have much debts to pay. Is there any cure for this? What should one recite when one is continuously afflicted with problems and difficulties? I have everything I could want. None of my\u00a0duas<\/em>\u00a0have been accepted and it seems as if none of my actions have also been accepted. I am still faced with problems upon problems.<\/p>\n

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa\u00a0Barakaatuh<\/em><\/p>\n

The remedy for calamities is the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sincere\u00a0taubah<\/em>\u00a0(repentance) for all sins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Making much\u00a0istighfaar<\/em>\u00a0(seeking forgiveness) from Allah Ta`ala<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Fulfilling all the unfulfilled rights of people upon you or asking them for forgiveness. Together with the above, recite much Durood Shareef. Also give\u00a0Sadaqah<\/em>\u00a0(charity).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        As far as\u00a0dua<\/em>\u00a0is concerned, the one who says that his dua has not being answered, then in reality Allah Ta`ala does not accept his\u00a0duas<\/em>. Therefore, never make such a statement. Everything has an appointed time by Allah Ta`ala and only occurs at the time decreed for it. Hence, do not be hasty. Instead you should be convinced that whatever apparent delay there may be in the answering of your\u00a0dua<\/em>\u00a0is also beneficial for you in some way that is unknown to you.<\/p>\n

        Furthermore, you should also take into consideration that the acceptance of\u00a0duas<\/em>\u00a0is subject to the conditions being fulfilled. Among the conditions are that one\u2019s earnings, food, drink, clothing, etc. must be\u00a0halaal<\/em>\u00a0and one should make\u00a0dua<\/em>\u00a0with an attentive heart.
