I am near — answering the call of the caller

"not believe until they faced punishment. Ibn Abbas explained this as a request for their hearts to be sealed. This supplication was made in anger for Allah's religion and his proofs. Allah answered Moses' supplication, just as he had answered Noah's prayer against his people. Allah told Moses and his brother Aaron, who affirmed the supplication, Your supplication has been answered, so remain steadfast and do not follow the path of those who do not know. The commentators and others from the people of the book mentioned that the children of Israel asked Pharaoh for permission to leave for a festival. Although reluctant,"

"growth of crops with planting, and decreeing the departure of an animal's soul with its slaughter. Similarly, entry into paradise is decreed by deeds. Supplication is one of the strongest causes, and entry into hellfire by deeds. This section is the truth which the questioner was deprived of and not guided to. Thus, supplication is one of the strongest causes. If the occurrence of what is supplicated for is decreed with supplication, it is not correct to say there is no benefit in supplication, just as one would not say there is no benefit in eating and drinking and all actions. Nothing from the causes is more"

"of the doer. He then mentioned other reasons why healing might be delayed and the conditions for the acceptance of supplication and the afflictions that prevent its effect. He then dedicated an important chapter to answering a famous question, which is that if what is sought through supplication is decreed, it must occur whether the servant supplicates for it or not. Otherwise, it will not occur whether he asks for it or not. So what is the benefit of supplication? He clarified that the decreed matters are determined by causes, one of which is supplication. He then mentioned that Allah the Exalted made"

"A Hadith was mentioned to Abu Darda about his house burning down, and he replied, "Allah would not do that. This hadith is recorded by al-Tabarani in al-Dua from Abu Darda's narration; it is considered weak. The Supplication of Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him The Supplication of Ibn al-Mu'tamir, who is Sulaiman al-Taymi, and his glorifications, may Allah be pleased with him The Supplication of Ibrahim ibn Adham, may Allah be pleased with him At that time, it was not yet red clay."

"mother be sacrificed for you. Allah has sent you to aid me today. The horseman replied, I am an angel from the fourth heaven. You called with your first supplication so I heard the creaking of the doors of heaven. You called with your second supplication and I heard a clamor from the inhabitants of the heavens. Then you called with your third supplication and it was said to me, the supplication of a distressed person. So I asked Allah to grant me the ability to kill him."

"I have encountered some thinkers who, in their writings, do not allow supplication for this, permitting it only as recitation, not as supplication. They argue that supplication for it implies doubt in its occurrence, as the supplicant is between fear and hope. Doubting its occurrence is doubting اللّٰه's promise. Consider what denying causes has led to, such as forbidding supplication for what اللّٰه has praised His servants for seeking."

"They argue that if a person were to abandon reliance and supplication, they would not miss anything decreed for them. Some extremists even consider supplication for not being held accountable for mistakes and forgetfulness to be useless, as these are guaranteed to occur. I have encountered some thinkers who, in their writings, do not allow supplication for this, permitting it only as recitation, not as supplication."

"day of judgment. It is also reported from Ibn Umar that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, Supplication benefits against what has descended and what has not yet descended. So you must, O servants of Allah, be constant in supplication. Consider insistence in supplication. It is reported from Thauban, Nothing repels destiny except supplication, and nothing increases life except righteousness."

"The first group believes that since everything is already decreed, supplication is pointless. They argue that if something is decreed, it will happen regardless of supplication, and if it is not decreed, supplication cannot bring it about. They see supplication as pure servitude without effect, commanded by اللّٰه as He wills."

"Aisha, may God be pleased with her, recounted that Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, came to her and asked if she had learned a supplication from the Prophet peace be upon him. She replied, What is it? He said that Jesus, the son of Mary, used to teach his companions a supplication. If any of you were to owe a mountain of gold as a debt and supplicated to Allah with this, he would fulfill it. O Allah, reliever of distress, remover of grief, answerer of the supplication of the desperate, merciful of this world and the hereafter, you are the one who has mercy on me, so bestow mercy upon me with a mercy that enriches me from the mercy of anyone else besides you."

"Abu Musa al-Ash'ari said: "O people, the One you are calling is neither deaf nor absent. This is agreed upon with varying wording. Aisha also commented on the verse, "And do not speak loudly in your prayer, nor softly," referring to supplication. This is agreed upon. The Prophet, peace be upon him, cautioned against rhymed prose in supplication, saying, "It suffices for one of you to say, 'O Allah, I ask You for paradise and what brings me closer to it in word and deed; and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and what brings me closer to it in word and deed.'" It is reported that some people will transgress in supplication and ablution."

"I never recall it without my vision and heart being veiled." Sa'd then said, "I will inform you of it. The Messenger of Allah mentioned to us the first supplication, then an Arab came and distracted him. Then the Messenger of Allah stood up, and I followed him. When I was concerned that he might reach his home before me, I struck the ground with my foot. He turned towards me, and I turned back. He said, 'Abu Ishaq?' I replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' He asked, 'What is it?' I said, 'By Allah, nothing except that you mentioned to us the first supplication, and then this Bedouin came.' He said, 'Yes, the supplication of Dhun-Nun:"

"Say the father is the middle gate of paradise if you wish then keep that gate open or lose it The Prophet peace be upon him said three supplications are surely answered the supplication of the oppressed The supplication of the traveler and the supplication of a parent against his child He also said the maternal aunt is like the mother in terms of dutifulness honor connection and kindness Wab Ibn Munabi narrated that Allah the Exalted Revealed to Moses peace be upon him. Oh Moses honor your parents for whoever honors his parents I will extend his life and grant him a child who will honor him and whoever disobeys his parents"

"reached a level beyond patience, it is more effective in fulfilling the request than merely starting by saying, Give me such and such. Having realized this, ponder over the supplication of Moses, Peace be upon him, My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good you would send down to me in need. And the supplication of Jonah, There is no deity except You, glorified are You, indeed I have been of the wrongdoers. And the supplication of our father Adam, Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers. Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, said,"

"And he said, "Supplicate Allah with confidence in the response, and know that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, does not respond to the supplication from a heedless heart. Sufyan bin Uyaynah remarked, "Let none of you be prevented from supplicating because of what he knows of himself, for Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, responded to the supplication of the worst of creation, Iblis, when he said, 'My Lord, grant me respite until the Day they are resurrected,' and He said, 'Indeed, you are of those who are granted respite.'" The eighth aspect is to persist in supplication and to repeat it three times."

"I ask You for mercy from Yourself to guide my heart,” up to the end of the supplication. Then, one leaves the house heading to the mosque, not forgetting the supplication for leaving the house. One should walk with calmness and dignity, as reported in the tradition, avoiding interlocking fingers. Upon entering the mosque, one leads with the right foot and says the prescribed entry supplication, seeking the front row if there's space, avoiding stepping over people's necks or crowding, as mentioned earlier in the Book of Friday."

"Other supplications related to travel, prayer, and ablution are mentioned in the books of Hajj, prayer, and purification. If one asks about the benefit of supplication when decree is unchangeable, know that part of the decree is averting calamity with supplication, as supplication is a means. In a hadith, it is mentioned: "In the name of Allah, as Allah wills, there is no power except with Allah, as Allah wills, every blessing is from Allah, as Allah wills, all good is in the hands of Allah."

""Every day He is in some affair." Surah Ar-Rahman 55:29 Meaning, He guides destinies to their appointed times. God, the Almighty, does not give anyone anything in this world merely because of their supplication, nor does He avert harm from them merely because of their supplication. What is mentioned in the hadith on the authority of the Prophet, may God's peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions, is: "Nothing repels destiny except supplication.""
