إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُوا۟ بَثِّى وَحُزْنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ
“I complain of my anguish and sorrow only to Allah.” [Quran 12:86]
The years had been cruel. His sight had faded, his heart bore wounds that no time could erase. He had lost one son to jealousy, another to injustice. And now, as the weight of grief pressed down on his chest, Prophet Yaqub (AS) turned away from the world and whispered these words.
He did not complain to people. He did not seek comfort from them. He turned to the only One who truly understood.
Because some pains are too deep for human words. Some sorrows are too heavy for human hearts to carry. And the reality is—no one else will ever understand your wounds the way Allah (SWT) does.
When the grief is suffocating—speak to Him.
When the heartache lingers—cry to Him.When the world cannot hold your pain—know that He can.
This dua isn’t about asking for solutions. It’s about surrender. About emptying the burden onto the One who never tires of listening. About knowing that even if no one sees your tears, Allah (SWT) does.
So if your heart feels heavy, if the pain is too much to bear—turn to Him. Not to complain about Him, but to complain to Him. Because the ones who pour their sorrows before Allah (SWT)? They always find relief.
