In Episode 92, I am joined by Hema Luqman to delve into the profound and often misunderstood concept of dua, particularly in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As ten months have passed and the bloodshed continues, many Muslims are grappling with questions about the effectiveness of their prayers: Why hasn't the genocide stopped? Is Allah (SWT) not hearing our pleas? We explore these difficult questions, especially in light of the Prophet’s (saw) teaching that dua is the weapon of the believer.
In this episode, we explain what dua truly is and its purpose and clarify its significance as an action. We confront the misconception that dua is a direct method of change, examining the principles of cause and effect within the universal laws of Allah (SWT). Join us as we unpack why dua alone may not bring about the change we seek and what our role as Muslims entails in the face of such profound challenges.
