The answer

The answer to a supplication is not always a certainty, for Allah leaves unanswered many supplications that contain evil. Therefore, a Muslim should trust in Allah's management of affairs, entrust his matter to Him, and be content with His decree. He should ask Him to grant him life if life is better for him, and to cause him to die if death is better for him. He should not be concerned about the supplication he made previously. He must prepare for death with good deeds and consult a psychiatrist if necessary.
