I watched a dissappointing video where a speaker Says "many times he does not fullfill your prayers" This sounds very dissappointing to me. After all that praying, After all that crying during my duas , after all that I have done good for a response, After I have tried to change myself for the better. Allah SWT wont answer my prayers ?. Is what he is saying true.??? I really hope not

As salamo alaikome dear brother. I think you know deep inside this information is NOT TRUE. Allah promises to answer dua in the Quran. Im sure one of the other brothers and sisters can provide the exact surah because I am at work with no access to Quran right now but I really wanted to answer.

 

[ditta]

As-salaamu'Alaykum wa'Rahmatullaah,

I felt these two rulings related to what you were asking brother,

Question

What prevents a supplication from being answered? And that are the times when, if we supplicate, we will be answered?

Answer

First, we should know that supplication is worship - it brings us closer to Allah. This is because when we supplicate to Allah, we are admitting not only our shortcomings, but also Allah's perfection. Furthermore, when we supplicate, we are glorifying Allah.

It has been reported that the Messenger of Allah said that supplication is worship, so if this is the case, a person comes close to Allah when he supplicates. After he has supplicated seeking closeness to Allah, either his supplication will be answered, he will be saved from an evil greater than the benefit he would have derived had his supplication been answered, or his reward will be saved for him until the Day of Judgement.

Allah Almighty never lets down a person who supplicates to him; however, supplication has certain conditions that must be met and certain manners that must be followed. The one who supplicates, for example, must believe while supplicating that he is in need of his Lord, that he himself has no ability to benefit or harm himself - except by the will of Allah. He must believe in his Lord's perfect mercy, beneficence, generosity and will. He must not doubt that he will be answered; rather, he should be hopeful and confident about receiving some benefit.

Another condition is not to transgress in the supplication by asking Allah for what is not permissible.

Among the etiquette of supplication is that one should not supplicate for what is not lawful, so he does not supplicate for a sin nor the severance of kinship.

Likewise making sure that ones food and clothing are not from what is unlawful, because the unlawful prevents the supplication from being answered, for the Messenger of Allah said,

"Indeed, Allah is Tayyib (good), and he does not accept other than what is Tayyib."

(Muslim no. 1015)

Among the times in which one should be optimistic that the supplication would be answered are the last third of the night, or later, and the time between the call to the prayer and the Iqamah.

In terms of situation or posture, one is more likely to have one's supplication answered while prostrating, since the Messenger of Allah said:

"The closest one is to his Lord is when he is prostrating."

(Muslim no. 482)

Ibn 'Uthaymeen (Rahimahullaah)


Question

I spent the last ten years, on and off, asking Allah Almighty to provide me with a righteous husband and with righteous children. But some of this never happened, and I know that it is Allahs will and that there is nothing that can ward off his decree. My question is this: I have stopped supplicating since a short time ago, not from despair for an answer to my prayers, but because I began to think that what I was asking for was not in my best interests. I thought this because Allah Almighty did not answer me. I decided to desist from supplicating because Allah Almighty knows best what will benefit me, regardless of my strong and persistent desire to have my prayers realised. What must I do in this situation? Do I continue supplicating, or do I resign myself to the fact that what I am asking for is not in my best interests, and thus stop asking?

Answer

It is mentioned in a Hadeeth that the worshipper's supplication will be answered, as long as he does not hurry, feeling that the answer is delayed, then lamentig the delay, and then abandoning supplicating altogether. This person says, "I supplicated and I supplicated, but I was not answered." Allah Almighty may delay answering a prayer for a number of reasons. And in one hadeeth, it is mentioned that Allah Almighty gives one of three things to the one who invokes Him: He answers his prayer by giving to him what he asks, He saves his reward for the Hereafter, or He repels an evil from him.

So, sister, you should not be hasty: rather, you should continue supplicating, even if this continues for many more years. Also, you should not reject an equal (equal in looks, lineage, wealth, etc.) if he proposes to you, even if he is old or is already married. Perhaps, Allah will give you much good in that.

Ibn Jibreen (Rahimahullaah)

Reference: Fatawa Islamiyah Volume 7.

I just wanted to add one thing, I am sure you have seen and many others, where people say my supplications are not being answered. Subhaan'Allaah if we were to look at our actions, maybe the fault lies there in the reason as to why our supplications are not being answered? Or maybe as the ruling says, it could be better for us that we are not given what we ask for.

Insha'Allaah this helps.

Walaykum-us-Salaam wa'Rahmatullaah.

 

[a_muslimah86]

When the words of a man conflict with the *promises* of Almighty Allah..then we put them behind our back..and fill our hearts with these promises of an All-Hearing Lord...

"And when My slaves ask you concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near. I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright." [Al-Baqara 2:186]

"And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, I will respond to your (invocation)." [Ghaafir 40:60]

"Is not He Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Little is that you remember!" [An-Naml 27:62]

*every* dua'a is answered..if not in this dunya..then in the akhirah..if not in the way you want it..in a way better!..all of the dua'as are *heard* and *granted*..except those of *evil* and *cutting the ties of kinship*..Allah (swt) is more generous and merciful than to not answer a servant sincerely invoking Him!..no one should convince you *otherwise* akhi..no one!

Have you not heard this beatiful ayah:

And when My servants ask you about Me, I am indeed close: I listening to the prayer of every praying person when he calls on Me: So let them also, listen to My call, and believe in Me, so that they may walk straight. (Al - Qur'an 2:186)

No Islamic speaker would say that, be careful what you listen to, have an open heart, do you really think Allah will leave our prayers unanswered??!!! Truly Allah is the Knower of all that is in our hearts.

Have patience, and keep praying to Allah.

 

[slave_of_Allah]

You could also listen to this, masha'Allah it is very powerful, and I pray that Allah keeps you on the straight path. Aameen.
