How Can I Get My Questions Answered by God?

Answered by Shaykh Farid Dingle

Question: Assalamu alaykum

I would like to ask God to reverse time and to change His religious rulings because I find them to difficult. Especially regarding music and drawing.

I want to know God’s opinion on this. How can I have it? Is there a du’a for this?

Answer: Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Dear questioner,

Allah is not going to change His rules for you, because He loves the believers and has given them rules that will make them happy in this life and the next.

Just focus on what you can do, enjoy it, thank Allah for it, and don’t think too much about what you can’t.

Happiness comes from Allah directly. Everything else is just part of the traffic jam! So just make your relationship with Allah, and you’ll be very, very happy.

I pray this helps.

Wassalam,
