Can Dua change Destiny ?
Can I get what I am not destined to get ?
I have no hopes of getting married,it is just not in my destiny ,how can Dua help ?
Can you give some hadeeth which says that that Dua can change destiny ?
Getting frustrated with life is the biggest mistake we all do . How do we know what is written for us ? No One has knowledge about it except Allah . All thanks to Allah that he has kept the doors of Dua Open for us .How do we dare to think that there is no use making Dua ?
Even if your Duas are not getting fulfilled Why are you losing your ajar by being remorseful ? Don’t you know that Dua is an act of worship. Every Dua that We make is written in our account of good deeds .Allah swt recompenses his slave to full. He does not do injustice to any one .When our duas are not fulfilled in this World it is rewarded with more ajar in the akhirah . Dua is the weapon of the believer and infact the only thing that can even change our Fate or Destiny. Allah doesn’t like People who do not make Dua.
Allah Says in Holy Quran:
“And your Lord said: ‘Invoke Me , I will respond to your (invocation).
Verily, those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!’”[Surah Ghaafir 40:60]
In another Verse, Allah says:
“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad PBUH) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:186]
There are so many stories from Quran ,Hadeeth and real life incidence that I can relate which shows the Power of Dua and that show how Allah accepted them with great acceptance .May Allah make us among those whose Dua are accepted by Allah . May Allah accept all our naqis effort and make us among those whom he love.

As for today I want to relate some Hadeeth that says that Dua can change Destiny .Some of them are –
Look How Lucky we are to be the Ummat of Rasul Allah Sallahu alaihe Wasalam . It is because Allah accepted his dua that most of the people in Jannah will be the ummat of Rasul Allah saw.
Basically , there are two types of decree (qada’):
(a) The absolute decree (al-qada’ al-mubram), which is what Allah willed in eternity. This isn’t subject to change, by definition; and
(b) The relative or conditional decree (al-qada’ al-mu`allaq), which is the direction in which the flow of life events seems to be going. This is what can change. This could be referred to as “apparent destiny.”
To summarise it , Divine Decree (qadr) cannot be used as an excuse not to make du’a. For, just as one strives to ensure that one attains worldly needs, of food, drink and family, so too must one strive in one’s religious deeds to attain the desired goal. Du’a is intrinsically related to qadr; in fact, it is part of one’s qadr. Allah has already decreed that a certain matter will be granted to a servant, or an evil averted from him, if he make du’a, so if he were to leave du’a, then the desired goal would not be reached.
It was the sunnah of the Prophet, upon whom be peace, to make the following du’a during the witr prayer:
” … Bless me in what You have given me. And avert and turn away from me the evil that has been decreed for me, for verily You Decree (all things), and none can decree against You … “[Reported by at-Tirmidhi #464, an-Nasa’i #1725 and others, with an authentic chain]
So the Muslim turns to Allah and prays to Him so that any and all evil can be averted from him.
It should be born in mind that to discuss or talk about Taqdeer was not the practice of the Salaf.
Saaiduna Abu Hurairah
I Pray that this helps you understand the need of Dua- the Command of making Dua and the Power of Dua .
