💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Even if a baby cried for a bottle of milk,
You wouldn't grant them their request if you clearly felt
The drink is still too hot and it's not drinkable yet,
So they'd have to wait for the milk's temperature to drop,
As giving it too soon can hurt the infant a lot.

No matter how loud a toddler weeps for a cactus,
You'd keep the spiky plant away so they're protected.
You'd give them an item different from what they asked,
A toy that's softer and safer for them to play with.
Your act of preventing is because of care and love.
~•~
Regardless of how loudly your son cries day and night,
Begging you for a car when he's still too young to drive,
You wouldn't give in to his earnest pleas and desires
Until he's older and he's no longer a small child.
You provide his wants not when he likes but when it's wise.
~•~
When saying Du'a and asking Allah for our needs,
We need to be patient, have the strength to wait humbly,
Trust in Allah's Might to respond only when He sees
That what we beg for won't bring harm to our well-being,
Or He'll bestow if it's absolute necessity.
~•~
In Ramadan and in every instant you're alive,
To cry to Allah while saying Du'as don't be shy.
Don't guess you were unheard if your wish didn't arrive,
As Allah hears everyone well and He the Most Wise
Answers at the best time and has favors more worthwhile.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Every one of you will have his supplications answered, as long as he is not impatient and says: 'I have supplicated but I was not answered.'"
In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The servant will continue to have his supplications answered as long as he does not ask for sin or cutting family ties and he is not impatient." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is its impatience?" The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "He says: 'I have supplicated again and again, but I have not seen an answer.' He becomes frustrated with that and gives up supplicating."
