My beloved brothers and sisters, with the virus, there have been people who were told if you were to read a specific dua, it is impossible for you to get the virus.

And then they read that dua and they were still affected by the virus.

So the question is, why did that happen?

The answer to that is very simple.

Number one, when we are told that if you were to read this, you would not be affected by the virus at all, that is not from authentic narrations of the hadith,

and sometimes people on social media, as well as sometimes in some books, they misquote others, and they misquote the hadith.

And they say, such and such a scholar actually said, this is what you should do in order to be totally protected from the virus.

And people do that, and then they get the virus, and that weakens their faith in Allah.

Because they begin to think, I did whatever I should have, why did I get this virus? And what has happened?

Well, like I said, there is no authentic narration that states that if you were to read a simple dua, then it is impossible for you to become ill or sick or to get a virus.

There is no narration that states that.

However, there are people who have said that only to encourage you to pray.

And when you do pray, yes, there are prayers that say, Allah protect me from this disease, or Allah protect me from that disease.

Number one, to pray with conviction is already an act of worship and earning closeness to Allah.

Number two is, when you continue that prayer, your status continues to elevate.

And in Shah Allah, perhaps Allah may grant you, saviour and protection.

But if Allah has chosen that this is going to get to you, then you've made the dua, you've called out to Allah, he chose it for you.

He will reward you for the dua, for the supplication. He will reward you for the worship that you engaged in of him.

He will reward you greatly for the hope that you had in his mercy.

And at the same time, he will reward you for the patience that you will have to bear when he has decided that you will be affected.

So, it does not mean that Allah did not hear you, but it does mean that whatever was best for you hereafter and for your current life will definitely be happening, especially when you have a great conviction in Allah.
