u/Beemo_0110

I've been on the edge of belief for longer than I want to admit. Not someone who never tried. I've read, searched, prayed, had full honest conversations with myself and with God. Every time I opened up completely I got silence. Not the comfortable kind. The kind that makes you question everything.

So I decided to do this properly. One final structured attempt

What I did before making the dua:

Made wudu. Prayed 2 rakat. Sat in complete quiet. Said it once, fully present, not rushed.

The dua in full:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

اللهم صلِّ على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد كما صليت على سيدنا إبراهيم وعلى آل سيدنا إبراهيم، وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد كما باركت على سيدنا إبراهيم وعلى آل سيدنا إبراهيم في العالمين إنك حميد مجيد

اللهم إني أتوسل إليك بنبيك المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم، وبرحمتك الواسعة التي وسعت كل شيء، وبأسمائك الحسنى وصفاتك العلا

اللهم أنت العليم بحالي، تعلم أنني أبحث عنك بصدق حقيقي لا بلساني فقط. أنت تعلم شكوكي، وتعلم أن قلبي لا يستطيع أن يغلق هذا الباب مهما حاول. اللهم لا أطلب منك معجزة، ولا أتحداك. أنا فقط عبد تائه يطلب نوراً واحداً يكفيه.

اللهم إن كان في علمك وقدرك أن ترسل لي رسالة من [صديق لم أتحدث معه منذ أكثر من 10 سنوات] يبدأها هو، بلا سبب مني، بمحتوى حقيقي، في غضون ثلاثة أيام، فاجعلها آيةً أعرف بها أنك سميعٌ مجيب. وأعدك يا الله أنني إن رأيت هذه الآية سأقف عندك وأبني من هناك بصدق.

اللهم إن كانت هذه الآية ليست ما قدّرته لي فافتح لي باباً آخر لا يقبل الشك. فأنا لا أريد أن أضل، أنا فقط لا أستطيع أن أؤمن بالخوف وحده.

اللهم صلِّ على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم. وسبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون وسلام على المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين

The specific conditions:

The person is someone I haven't spoken to in over 10 years. No recent interaction on any platform whatsoever, no mutual friends involved, no algorithm trigger, no reason on earth for them to reach out. For this to happen they would have to think of me completely out of nowhere, act on it, and send something meaningful

If anything comes through I will accept it with full gratitude and no questions asked.

To the people who will say you can't set conditions on Allah:

I hear you and I say this with full respect. But consider this:

Ibrahim alayhi salam asked Allah directly to show him how He gives life to the dead. He wasn't doubting

Musa alayhi salam was given sign after sign

The Quran says ادعوني أستجب لكم with no asterisk. No footnote saying "except when you're too specific."

I am not challenging Allah. I am not being arrogant. I am a person whose heart genuinely cannot close this door but also cannot walk forward completely blind. I presented my situation with full adab, full sincerity, salat ala rasul, tawassul, wudu, salah, and a completely open heart. I asked once. I let go. I am now in full tawakul for 3 days.

If this is not the right sign for me then I asked Allah in the same dua to open a door I cannot explain away. I left it open. I didn't corner Him. I surrendered the outcome completely.

What I will not do is pretend I didn't ask or quietly move on with no conclusion. I've been in that loop too long. This closes the loop either way.

Will update in 3 days with complete honesty whatever the result is.

Make dua for me.

Edit: the 3 days are over. nothing happened, no signs no nothing, absolutely devastating, during these 3 days I actually tried, prayed all 5 prayers (made dua in every sujud), prayed katha al haja and made the dua above for 3 consecutive days, stayed away from everything that's haram and still nothing (p.s i have been struggling with this issue for years not days, but these 3 days were going to determine if i believe anymore or not and i'm not sure i do anymore because i can't think of one good reason why he wouldn't respond, but hey, at least i tried.

If you know Fireship (the dev YouTube channel), you know the style: fast cuts every 2–3 seconds, dense information, a constant stream of visuals that match exactly what's being said. Every sentence is illustrated. A GIF when something is chaotic. A clean icon when naming a tool. A 3-second stock clip when describing a concept. A meme reaction when something is absurd. The pacing is relentless and the visuals do as much work as the voiceover.

I make videos in that style

Here's what that actually means in practice for a single 5-minute video:

— 15–25 stock footage clips (concept illustrations, transitions, establishing shots)
— 10–20 icons (tool logos, UI elements, abstract concepts like "database" or "API")
— 8–15 GIFs or reaction clips (Tenor / Giphy
— 5–10 meme images or screen grabs
— Sometimes looping background visuals just to keep the frame alive

That's 40–70 individual assets. Per video. Conservatively.

Now here's where it gets soul-crushing.

For every single one of those assets, my workflow is:

1. Think of what I need ("I need something that says 'this is broken'")
2. Open Flaticon, type a keyword, scroll through results, most are wrong style or wrong weight, find something okay, save
3. Open Tenor, search something, the first 20 results are too generic or too old, keep scrolling
4. Open Pexels / Artgrid, search, filter by orientation and duration, preview 8 clips, download 3, use 1
5. Repeat steps 1–4 between 40 and 70 times

I'm not exaggerating when I say asset hunting takes 2–3 hours of a 6-hour editing session. It's not creative work. It's not editing. It's just... search. Manually. On four different tabs. Over and over.

And the wild part? We're in the middle of an AI boom. Claude can write code. Sora generates video. There are tools for literally everything in the content pipeline

But nobody seems to have built the obvious thing: a tool where you describe what you need (or paste your script), and it searches all your asset sources at once

Not AI-generated assets. Real assets from real libraries. Just found intelligently, in bulk, based on what your video actually needs.

Does this tool exist? Has anyone built a workflow that gets close to this? An n8n template, a Python script, literally anything?

I've looked. I can't find it. And I find that genuinely strange given how many people edit in this style and how much time it eats. any solutions please? thanks everyone in advance.
