Making dua for aafiyat and ease
Question
I have been experiencing alot of difficulties in life over the years and just can't be happy despite trying many things to remove the difficulties. I am always sad and depressed.
Many years ago around the time my problems started, I read a book about some of the pious people of the past. In it there was a narration about a well known pious person being seen in a dream by someone after he passed away. The person asked this pious person about his condition in the hereafter. The pious person said that Allah granted him a place in Jannat near the Sidratul Muntaha because he was always in the state of huzn. Immediately I made dua "Oh Allah, keep me also in the state of huzn and grant me also a place in Jannat near Sidratul Muntaha" without even knowing what huzn means. Some time after this I remembered this dua and found out what it means.
1. Could it be because of this dua I made out of ignorance that I am always depressed and having problems in my life?
2. If it is because of this dua, what do I do now to put an end to my problems and constant state of huzn?
Answer
From now onwards make dua for aafiyat, ease, and happiness in both the worlds.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
