A broken-hearted person can pray and have hope in Allah's closeness to him.
In the Holy Quran, there is a strong emphasis on supplication and the connection with Allah. A person with a broken heart can comfortably make dua (supplication) and hope for an answer. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 186 states, 'And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.' This verse emphasizes that Allah is near to His servants' supplications, and during times of heartache, this closeness is felt even more. Additionally, in Surah Az-Zumar, verse 53, Allah mentions, 'O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.' This verse advises not only supplication but also patience in challenging times. Making dua in distress and heartache is a sign of hope and trust in Allah. Therefore, when someone prays with a broken heart, they should remain hopeful that Allah will respond. However, it's important to acknowledge that the answer may come in a form different from what one expects, but believers understand that no supplication goes unanswered. In other words, making dua can aid in inner peace and heal the heart while guiding the individual on the right path in life. This deep, sincere connection with Allah keeps hope alive in people's hearts, showcasing their reliance and trust in Him.
And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.
O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.
A man named Mahdi was very sad after a romantic breakup. He felt that his heart was broken and couldn't talk to anyone. One night, he remembered the verses of the Quran and decided to pray. He said, 'O Allah, help me!' and felt like a soft blanket was surrounding him. The next morning, he noticed a new hope sprouting in his heart and continued with his life.
