If you've been waiting for something you deeply want like marriage, the right job, relief from a hardship, or the answer to a du'a you've been making for years, or if you're trying to hold yourself back from a temptation you know wouldn’t please Allah like a relationship you shouldn't pursue, a habit you're trying to leave, or a desire that keeps pulling at you, then follow along with this du'a: Ya Saboor, teach me the patience that doesn’t expire. Make me calm when delay tests me and grateful even as I wait. Grant me patience over my desires, and through my trials and upon the deeds that will protect me from the Fire. Ya Haleem, You see my mistakes and still give me time to fix them. You watch my slips and still cover them in kindness. Make me forbearing with those around me and quick to forgiveness with those who may wrong me. Ya ‘Aliyy, Ya Muta’aaly, raise my heart above resentment and smallness. Lift my gaze towards the higher ways that reach You. And place my hopes in what lasts with You. Let my character rise, even when my status falls, for You are higher than everything that confuses me or defeats me. Lift me above pettiness, above despair, above sin, until my soul finds its peace in Your elevation. Watch Episode 24 of Allah’s Names to learn more about As-Saboor:

When you feel alone, unstable, or unsure why things are unfolding the way they are, follow along with this du’a: Ya Waliyy, be my closest friend when the world drifts away. Guard me with the grip that never slips. Guide me gently through what I don’t understand, and let every loss lead me back to You. Ya Barr, keep me firm on the ground of Your goodness. Make my faith steady when my heart trembles. Let me love what brings me to Your stability, and make me patient with what keeps me on its shore. Ya Rafeeq, be tender with my soul as You unfold Your plan. Soften the path without removing its purpose. Make me gentle with others as You’ve been gentle with me. And when I am lonely, fill that space with Your company. Ameen. Watch Episode 4 of The Name I Need:
