Life is full of ups and downs. While the down times may be exhausting and emotionally disturbing to navigate through, they present an equal opportunity as the good times for one to be grateful for all that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى has provided. For He knows the best and is the best of all planners. Upon receiving pleasant news, reciting dua is one of the humblest ways to acknowledge and celebrate the good one has received.
Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى emphasizes the importance of being grateful in the Holy Quran in the following verses “And when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more. But if you are ungrateful, surely My punishment is severe” (Quran 14:7).
Joy & Distress Duas
Reciting dua is not defined in a particular number or etiquette upon receiving pleasant news. The supplication can be repeated as many times as one wants. One should pray with genuine gratefulness, humility, and submissiveness to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى as it is because of Him only that we have all that we do.
The benefits of reciting dua when one receives pleasant news hold great significance in one's outlook toward one's life. When one prays with gratitude and humility, it draws one closer to their Lord and also understands that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى will always provide them with what is best.It reinstates one’s faith in Allah’s mercy and connects one to their Creator. Receiving good or pleasant news also promotes resilience in people as it affirms the hope that there will be ease for them.
When one receives good news, the good news is supposed to be celebrated by being grateful.
People often recite Surah Yaseen to fulfill their wishes. However, one can recite all that their heart desires when making dua.
