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." |
