I have been waiting a long time
On duas that have not been answered yet, and what waiting is understood to be doing.
يُستَجابُ لأحَدِكُم ما لم يَعجَلْ، يقولُ: دَعَوتُ فلَم يُستَجَبْ لي
“Each of you is answered so long as he does not grow impatient, saying: I supplicated and was not answered.”Translated by Uswah draft, awaiting review

Narrator : Abu HurayraGraded by : al-BukhariSource :
Nothing is discarded. An answer withheld, delayed, or exchanged for something else are three different outcomes, and only one of them looks like silence from here.
What to doKeep asking for the same thing in the same words. Repetition is not a lack of faith in it.
Next
I lost someone and the days feel flat
On grief that does not look like grief, and on what the sources ask of you in it.
I am far from home and it does not get easier
On distance that stops being temporary, and what to build where you are.
Someone keeps asking me for money
What to do when the asking never stops, and what the Prophet ﷺ told a man who came to him for help.
