The Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Three supplications will not be rejected by Allah, the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler.”
Before heading out to school for an exam, I asked mom to make dua for me.
A while later after Maghrib came by, we headed to pray in congregation. We waited for mom to finish her prayer. I thought she was praying Maghrib but gave her the benefit of the doubt. And it turned out to be a nafl prayer and she said, “I made dua for you that Allah makes you successful in this world and the next to come”.
“Ameen”, I replied.
Iqamah was made and we prayed our Maghrib.
Before any difficulty you are going through, ask your parents to make dua for you. Explicitly. Never underestimate it, it will do you wonders. Many of us still have exams left, work hard and tell your parents about it.
And success comes from Allah.
