وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَىٰ

and I hastened towards You, my Lord, so that You be pleased." {20:84}

[perriaeyjeve]

[agirlwithimaan]

You wonder if your prayers even matter. But Allah told you to say "Sami Allahu liman hameedah" right in the middle of every rakah, in every Salah.

Allah hears those who praise Him.

[rose1water]

Reserve all your prayers, supplications, solicitations for Him and Him alone. For to bestow, give, and confer lies only in His Power. Allow God to exceed your expectations and be extravagant in what you ask of Him. Ask audaciously for your heart's greatest desires, and know that how you perceive God's generosity will shape the outcome to your prayers. Indeed, only He Who is Most Generous is worthy of worship.

“Do you suppose that you will enter the Garden without encountering what those before you encountered? They were afflicted by misfortune and hardship, and they were so shaken that even [their] messenger and the believers with him cried, ‘When will God’s help arrive?’ Truly, God’s help is near.” 

(2:214)

[naderdawah]

أي: ليس بينكم وبين نصركم عليهم إلا أن تجزموا عليهم، وتدخلوا عليهم الباب، فإذا دخلتموه عليهم فإنهم سينهزمون، ثم أمَرَاهم بعدة هي أقوى العدد، فقالا: { وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنْتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ } فإن في التوكل على الله -وخصوصا في هذا الموطن- تيسيرا للأمر، ونصرا على الأعداء. ودل هذا على وجوب التوكل، وعلى أنه بحسب إيمان العبد يكون توكله

اللهم احفظهم بحفظك وأيدهم بنصرك واقذف الرعب في قلوب أعداءهم
