Why is it
that some people that often when you're speaking
to people they say oh my dua hasn't
been answered, you know. This is a common
statement by the Muslim brothers and sisters you
meet around the place.
Why is it that certain supplications
perhaps
are not answered?
There are
certain criteria
that are required
and many a time, the supplication
is rejected because, point number 1,
maybe the earning is
What he is eating is haram, maybe the
earnings where
he is driving all his lifestyle,
may be his business around, may be involved
in reba, usury interest,
he may be dealing in a business, which
involves bribing,
may be dealing in a business, which involves
lying, cheating, etcetera. All these things, which are
related to haram things, that is the reason,
it is one of the major reasons why
supplication is not answered. Number 2, maybe he
is oppressing someone else,
causing oppression
to another human being.
Number 3, he may not be enjoining what
is good and may not be forbidding what
is wrong, which is a further Islam
and
there are some other criteria required for a
supplication to be accepted and that is the
reason why most of them are rejected.
One is that,
we should not say
that Oh Allah, forgive me if You please,
where the Prophet said, do not
supplicate,
do not pray by saying that, oh Allah,
forgive me if You wish,
Oh Allah, grant me mercy if You wish.
Oh Allah,
give
me from Your boundaries if You wish.
Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He does what
He wills and you cannot command Him.
So saying such things is totally wrong, which
many people do, which is a big mistake.
That is the reason that supplication is unanswered.
Furthermore,
people many a time,
they give names to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
which Allah never mentioned in the Quran. Neither
the Prophet used any of the Sai Hadid.
They call Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with attributes
and names which are not given by Allah
and Universal.
That is totally wrong by supplicating.
Furthermore,
many people when they supplicate,
they add on many names and many
things. For example, they say that, please forgive
my father, my grandfather,
my great grandfather,
my mother, my grandmother, my great grandmother,
my uncle, my auntie, keep on. You know,
so it becomes a big list. Instead of
that, it's preferable to be brief and say
that, please forgive my family or please forgive
my relatives or my brothers and sisters
in Islam. That's sufficient
and one of the other mistakes that people
make is,
they normally supplicate very loudly.
No, very loud supplicate, where Allah says in
the Quran in Surah Arraf chapter
7, verse number 55,
that ask to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with
humility and privacy.
Allah says in the next verse in Suri
Araf chapter 7 verse 56 that call to
Allah with fear and longingness.
So these are the basic mistakes that people
make when they supplicate
and furthermore,
many a time when we ask something from
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
we may follow all the things, but yet
Allah's command does not answer our prayers.
Allah says in the Quran in Suri Baqarah
chapter number 2, verse number 216
that you may dislike a thing which may
be good for you and you may like
a thing which may not be good for
you Allah knows and you do not know
There may be a situation where a Muslim
may pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that,
Yeah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, give me a
motorcycle, a BMW
I want a BMW 1000cc
and Allah does not understand his fear
because Allah knows that if Allah gives him
a BMW, he may go fast. He may
have accident and manufacture his leg. So Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but not answering his Priya,
is actually answering
him. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the
knower
of
the unseen, of the future. So you may
like a thing which may not be good
Allah knows and you do not know.
Allah knows and you do not know.
