Q: I am now 23 years old. When I was 11/12 years old - I did something very stupid as I had anger issues at the time. So back then, in a moment of anger I made dua to Allah that Allah sends my mother to jahannam forever in addition to adding that may Allah never accept a counter-dua (i.e. that Allah never accepts a dua that anyone makes to give my mother jannah). I regret this dua I made in anger and feel remorseful and shameful. Alhamdulillah my mother is alive and is a practicing Muslim to this day and has instilled in me strong Islamic principles through the permission of Allah. Since the time I was 11/12 I have by the grace of Allah Ta'ala also become a Hafiz e Quran. I still worry about that dua which I made more than 10 years ago. Should I stop worrying about this as Allah says: وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى And no bearer of burden will bear another’s burden (Quran 6: 164)
A: Ask Allah's forgiveness and stop worrying. Make du`aa for the well being of your mother in both lives daily.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
