I need to hear about miracle prayers - Tahajjud
Hey everyone,
I’m currently going through a difficult phase in my life. I lost my job in March 2025 and I’ve been applying ever since, but without any real opportunities so far.
I’ve been making a lot of du’a and turning to Allah SWT more than ever, but at some point I started feeling distant and discouraged, as if my prayers weren’t being answered I doubted that Allah may even hear me AT ALL. I even went through moments where I felt completely hopeless and struggled with the idea that things might not change for me.
I also don’t really have a strong support system around me, which makes everything feel heavier. Without friends to talk to, or friends to HYPE YOU it becomes easy to start doubting yourself, that I am not qualified enough for ANY JOB out there, wondering if there are always better profiles out there, or why someone would choose you over other. I KEEP thinking that having a friend telling how good I am, how good my profile, how fast I'll get a new job would just make things sooooo much easier for me.
Recently, I discovered Reddit, and it has been helpful just to read and connect with people in similar situations. I’ve now moved back to my parents’ home, and currently the only immediate option I have to earn money is working as a house cleaner, even though I hold a Master’s degree in Management and speak three languages.
I won’t lie, this situation scares me because I’ve always envisioned building a strong international career. I find myself questioning a lot of things, including whether this is a temporary test or a path I need to accept.
Right now, I feel like I need to refocus, be more disciplined with my prayers, and especially start Tahajjud again. I would really appreciate hearing positive stories about Tahajjud and how it has helped others through difficult moments. Please don't tell me about the ones that have not - YET - gotten an answer I will just keep thinking that it might also happen to me. If you used a specific prayer or du'a to get a job please do tell me as well, I would love to hear it !
I hope the best for everyone reading this, and thank you to anyone who takes the time to share their experience or advice.
