Can You Undo a Misguided Wish Made to Allah?
Peace
Yes, you can if you believe that your wish was misguided. Remember, brother, during the five daily prayers, we seek forgiveness from God to follow the righteous path. If you regret your wish, it is vital to seek and accept Allah's guidance and forgiveness.
Religious Support for Seeking Forgiveness
Seek forgiveness throughout the day to align yourself with the righteous path. Allah, as your Creator, desires that you pursue a life that is a reflection of piety and righteousness. He reminds us in the Quran that seeking His pleasure is a key part of our faith:
Al-Baqarah 2:96 (Sahih International)
And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allāh. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
Al-Baqarah 2:216 (Sahih International)
Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows while you know not. Finally, God advises us all:
Ibrahim 14:26 (Sahih International)
And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree uprooted from the surface of the Earth not having any stability.
Ibrahim 14:24 (Sahih International)
Have you not considered how Allāh presents an example [making] a good word like a good tree whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] to the Sky.
In conclusion, God loves most those who speak the truth and do good. Make wishes that reflect goodness, and they too will turn into acts of righteousness. God knew your hardships and will recompense your deeds after your death. We will all be judged after our death.
Supplications and Seeking Forgiveness
Supplicate to your Lord because He is the Most High. Do not treat Him as someone trapped in a bottle, believing that you can command Him. You do not have to "undo" your wish, as Allah knows what is best for you. If you are a believer, Allah will guide you and forgive you.
Honouring His qualities, Allah is the Most Merciful and utmost gracious. He accepts the regrets and forgives. Allah is so merciful that even if you ask for forgiveness an unlimited number of times, He will not tire of forgiving you. On the other hand, you might tire of asking for forgiveness, but Allah will never tire of forgiving you.
Thou is with You according to your assumptions, but Thou does not have human-like qualities. Thou is the most merciful and gracious, forgiving all your sins if you ask for forgiveness. If you commit sins and seek forgiveness, Allah will undoubtedly forgive you.
Conclusion
Believers must trust in Allah’s ultimate knowledge and mercy. If you seek and accept forgiveness, your misguided wishes can be forgiven, allowing you to move forward on the righteous path. May Allah always guide you, Ameen.
