Have I really let go if I am praying about something? Does letting go also mean to stop praying about it and just let it be?

I think praying for the best outcome and truly trusting God’s determination, not praying for the outcome you want is letting it go. Why do you want to let it go? Inshallah whatever it is, you’ll be rewarded with far better than you could have ever imagined.

I agree with this. Such a great answer ;)

Repetition of dua is sunnah. I usually know when I’m over something because Allah clears my heart of it and I focus elsewhere.If you can’t let go, pray for your heart to be settled either way and for Allah to give you wellbeing/peace in this dunya and aqira. If it’s something that you want and it wasn’t the outcome you hoped for, ask Allah to make you content with His qadr - it’s the most difficult article of faith but the one that brings you a lot of peace once you realize that Allah knows you better than you know yourself and ultimately what Allah chooses for you is best. As Allah says in Al Baqarah- 2:216 “…perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and Perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. Allah knows while you know not.” I pray that Allah blesses us all with a grateful heart!

Nope!
IMO and what I have understood is that you have to have a balance in everything.
So if you are praying for something, keep in mind that either it will be accepted or delayed or replaced with something better.

If it is not getting accepted then think that it is not not good for you and something better will be there for you.

You have to have a hope but need not to be obsessed with what you are asking for.

Everyday pray for it sincerely and leave the rest to Allah(with a positive mindset- it will be accepted if it is good for me.)


And Allah loves us more than we love ourselves.
He will grant you the best.
Hope this helps 😐.

Helps very much, thank you very much. I prayed and to be honest I obsessed over it in prayer and it didn’t happen the way I wanted. Which I am very shocked about 😔

It hit me very badly, and I have been praying to Allah for clarity on why because I was saying to myself that would bring me peace. I too want to let it go but it’s so difficult in my situation.

Do I keep praying for clarity or just let it go once and for all
