Why Does Allah Delay Some Prayers?

Why are some prayers answered right away, while others take years—or even decades? In this powerful and emotional episode, we explore the deeper meaning behind the timing of our duʿā’s, using the story of Prophet Yusuf (A.S.) as revealed in the Qur’an. Through the heart-wrenching tale of Yusuf’s abandonment, his desperate plea in the well, and the eventual divine rescue, we uncover spiritual insights into sincerity, repentance, and divine timing. With references to a beautiful narration from Imam al-Sadiq (A.S.), this episode is a reminder that Allah knows, sees, and responds—with wisdom beyond our understanding.
