In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving.

 

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 

The question is not clear. But, in general, du`aa’ (supplication/prayer) is one of our strong weapons in this life to achieve what we aspire for and to fulfill our responsibilities.

 

Still the answer to our supplication refers to the Wisdom and knowledge of Allah. Sometimes the answer is delayed for some wisdom that we are not aware of. Sometimes it is out of Allah’s mercy that a specific supplication is not fulfilled.

 

The Messenger of Allah said, “The supplication of anyone of you will be answered if he does not grow impatient and say: I supplicated but without being answered.”

 

Moreover, the answer may take a different form. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) tells us that “There is no man who calls upon Allah with a supplication, except that he will be answered. Either it shall be granted to him in the world, or be reserved for him in the Hereafter, or, his sins shall be expiated in accordance with the extent that he supplicated – as long as he does not supplicate for some sin, or for severing the ties of kinship…”

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
