Why Our Prayers and Dua'as are not Answered???

Taken from Khushoo fis-Salaat (p.62) of
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalee - rahimullah.

IBRAHEEM IBN ADHAM - may Allaah have mercy on him - a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyaan ath-Thawree, was asked about the saying of Allaah - the Most High:

AND YOUR LORD SAYS: "CALL ON ME
I WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER..." [Quran: 40:60]


[font=Verdana]"We supplicate and we are not answered." [/font]


So he said to them: 


*You know Allaah, Yet you do not obey Him,

*You recite the Qur'aan, Yet do not act according to it,

*You know Shaitaan (Devil), Yet you have agreed with him,

*You proclaim that you love Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu Alyhe Wa Sallam), Yet you abandon his Sunnah,

*You proclaim your love for Paradise, Yet you do not act to
gain it,

*You proclaim you fear the Fire, Yet you do not prevent
yourselves from sins,

*You say "Indeed death is true", Yet you have not prepared
for it,

*You point out the faults of others, Yet you do not look at
your faults,

*You eat of that which Allah has provided for you, Yet you do
not thank Him,

*You bury your dead, Yet you do not take a lesson from it."
