A DUA FOR A JOB AND OR MARRIAGE :) 28:24

DUA FOR JOB & MARRIAGE:

Background:

About Moses AS:

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ ۖ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۖ قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِي حَتَّى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاءُ ۖ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ  ﴿٢٣﴾

And when he came to the well of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women driving back [their flocks]. He said, “What is your circumstance?” They said, “We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man.”

Following is THE DUA MOSES (AS) MADE: After this Dua, he was granted a job and He got married. (Please note that he made  this dua after performing a good deed of helping two women who had no help);

DUA/SUPPLICATION

فَسَقَى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّى إِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ  ﴿٢٤﴾

Surah Qasas 28:24

So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, “My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need.”

After this dua made by Moses AS , got a job and also got married to a righteous woman.

Here are other translations:


24 فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰ إِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

  3. Salaam brothers and sisters. I give praise to all mighty ya Allah and many blessings and love to prophet Muhammed pbuh. I am divorced,  badly mentally physically abused and exposed to lies, cheating etc—

    So for sake of my 2 daughters I had to leave. Allhamdolillah that issue is not problem now. My family has always been plagued with intense bad luck health money negativity etc… and now I can’t keep struggling. Every night on my own I break my heart.  I wish I had a husband to protect me and my girls as I am only a woman not strong to be the man. I cry bcoz I won’t allow my family to see my pain as it will destroy them further.  I want that simple life the family life and not money just peace and happy heart full of love for islam. My best friend  for 4 years has quietly disappeared bcoz of his own dramatic life problems and I really need him more than ever. He has helped so much and I can’t open to anyone but this person.  Am scared lonely depressed suicidal although I won’t kill myself .

    I don’t know why envy is around us wen all we do is fake smiles to not let people see the pain we have. Nobody not 1 person wld believe how am feeling bcoz I put up my strong front . It’s hard but I pray for happiness for my family,  peace , success and marriage for my brothers and also my happiness to be a wife send mother again by its too late. I don’t know how to find a man and I just wait for Allah to allow us to meet inshallah. It’s too hard feeling failure and not worthy of anyone’s time . I don’t want sympathy but my heart lies in family life and to see pain in their eyes cuts me into pieces and I break down each and every night on my own crying asleep. Please make dua that things turn around as although financially we struggle,  days I have no electricity or gad or just tin of beans for me and my daughters,  I don’t care about money. Happiness isn’t money. It’s live and protection and appreciation and having someone wipe tears away and hug me with protective arms.

    Please help. I want the best for everyone and to all finally make it back to Allah in heaven.thanking you and may God forgive our sins and accept our heartfelt meaningful prayers.

    Ameen 

    Y x

     

     Thanks for this

Allah says if you practice taqwa he will give you an exit from difficulties from sources that you could not even imagine.(surah talaq).

    How many times do I need to pray this dua. My husband and I are having a lot of arguments and keeps saying he’ll leave me. I’m having a lot of anixety attacks due to his behaviour.. He is also very lazy, he doesn’t work hard. He doesn’t look for proper job. Because of that we have a lot of financial problems. Please, share a dua.

  12. Assalamualaikum Sis !

    I am the same person who had communicated with you privately a long time ago (The first comment above!)

    Alhamdulilah I came across this page again now and I was pleasantly surprised by my comment. I have forgotten those times now. I started praying for a better half a long time ago. It took me nearly 4 years+ for my duas to be answered Alhamdulilah (I got married recently in June!). I have gone through ups and downs and sadness and depression yet I know I have made duas for something khair for me in this Duniya and Akhirah.. in my musallah, during Ramadan, in front of the Kabah, in Rawdah, in Tahajjud, during the times I travel… my dua has been that.. Alhamdulilah it took me a long time but when Allah answered my dua, he gave me the best, a best that I have not even dreamt of or expected for. I am forever grateful to my Rabb, the All -Knowing. Alhamdulilah.

    I say the same thing to all the people above who have commented.. make dua sincerely and continuously. Allah will answer your duas. Yaqoob AS made dua for 40 years for his sons and then Allah answered his prayers. Our 4 hours and 4 years is nothing compared to his 40 years ! Ask Allah, he is Al Mujeeb. He is Ar- Razzaq.

    It was from this post that I learnt the dua of Moses AS for the first time and I have always recited it henceforth.(..and now i make it for a favorable job!) Grateful to you for writing this post. It has helped me and I am sure it has helped others too !

    Jazaka Allah khair. May Allah bless you with goodness. May Allah increase you in Ilm and Iman and give you strength and love.

    regards,
    Shahira

  15. Salaam Bros & Sisters,

    For those looking for jobs- please recite surah Waqiyah once a day every day until you find a job. It took me a little over a month to find one but this is an amazing surah and whoever is having financial troubles should read it. Also, read ayat kareema as many times as you can every day-it will not only give you peace of mind, but will also solve a lot of your problems.

  18. Assalamu Alaikum. I have been searching for jobs for a year now. I have 3 A Levels Alhamdulillah and been for many interviews all which give positive feedback. I sometimes feel angry about being unemployed and not being able to buy the things that I want. But all good and bad is from Allah. Duas never get wasted, Allah always accepts your Duas. Maybe as you search for jobs, Allah is preparing something even better for you. So Inshaallah maybe either I’ll get a job with excellent pay or a husband who’d take me straight to Jannah! It’s worth the wait! 🙂

    • As Salam Alaikum Tasminya,
      First and foremost Dowry in Islam is Haram! But you should be given Meher on the day of your wedding which is supposed to be kept by you for your safety in case of of any dire problems where and when you are really stuck for money….you can I am pretty sure ask to confirm any of our scholars and then explain this to your husband… if he is a good and understanding man should back out off this case. Also if you are from India there is a prohibition ban act put in in 1961 where taking or giving of dowry is illegal! So if he bullies you you can slap hi, with a legal case! Please do some proper research and make your argument strong ! Do not give into such bullies … if he was a caring husband he would be standing by your side.

    I have been wanting to mail u,for long.I know u only through ur words in ur blog.There have been days that I have been saddened reading ur entries about ur son or Brother Anis replies abt his son.They are in my prayers always.I have learned much from ur blog.I have started thinking n introspecting deeply about Life n most of all,The Akhirah.

    I am 22 year old BDS student doing my internship in Bangalore,India.While writing my final year exams , exhausted studying and far away from home,I often used to come to ur site looking for inspiration !Most often it was there. Maybe Qur’an Ayah or Hadiths or a quote that would keep me motivated enough to keep going in those tough days!Thank you. Thanks a lot!

    Now at the cross-road of life,I am waiting for someone whom I cant spent my life with and to ‘Complete half of my Deen’.Thats when I saw ur latest post.Thanks again!
