You Don't Even Need to Speak
Allah knows — you don't even have to speak. He knows what is hidden in your heart. You don't have to speak, just raise your hands, cry.
He knows what you're saying. You don't have to say — your heart is speaking to Allah. You don't have to even move your mouth.
The Prophet ﷺ, he would just look up at the sky and Allah would say: "I can see you looking up at the sky. I know what you want. I'll change the Qibla for you."
This is referring to the verse in Surah Al-Baqarah, where Allah says:
Allah changed the Qibla. The Prophet ﷺ did not even open his mouth to ask Allah. He just looked up at the sky.
Allah changed the Qibla for him.
