Question
Muhtaram, Assalamualikum. I have a question about the acceptance of
supplication)Dua(to Allah.We often pray to Allah in our daily life.
But all of them are not accepted byAllah. Though Allah knows the best
why He doesn't accept all the prayers. Certainly He doesit for our
well being in present and next life. But to me, and also to many other
people it seems that Allah is discriminating among Hiscreatures.
Because some of His creatures are very happy in their every part of
life but some of them are not happy inspite of praying to Allah.This
makes me very confused. Would you please write me about it from the
view of Quran and Sunnah?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
MuhammadisHis slave and Messenger.
First of all, you are wrongfor saying that Allaah does not accept our
supplication, as you cannot authoritatively assert this; because
accepting the supplication does not necessarily mean that a person
should be given exactly what he supplicated for. Rather, one's
supplication may be answered, or an affliction is driven away from him
because of his supplication and this will be better for him than what
he asked for, or that Allaah reserves the reward for him in the
Hereafter as confirmed ina Hadeeth from the Prophet. For more benefit,
please refer to Fataawa 85023and 88296.
As regards Allaah discriminating between his creatures, then this is
evident; however, Allaah does this out of knowledge and wisdom and not
out of ignorance and injustice. There is absolutely perfect wisdom in
Him doing so; Allaah Says )what means(:}Look how We have favored ]in
provision[ some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in
degrees ]of difference[ and greater in distinction.{]Quran 17:21[
Allaah also Says )what means(:}…and have raised some of themabove
others in degrees ]of rank[ that they may make use of one another for
service. But the mercyof your Lord is better than whatever they
accumulate.{]Quran 43:32[
In fact, poverty may be for some people better than richness, and
richness is better for some others, in the same way health is more
beneficial for some, and it is reported in a Hadeeth Qudusi ]even if
there is a controversy about its authenticity[ that"Among My Slaves
there are those for whomnothing is better than richness, and if I were
to impoverish them, they would be corrupted, and among My Slaves there
are those for whom nothing is better than poverty, and if I were to
make them rich, they would be corrupted. I manage )the affairs of( My
Slaves, I am indeed the All-Aware of their circumstances."
You should know that real happiness is not for a man to obtain some
money and other temporary worldly pleasures. Rather, the real
happiness is in faith and acts of good deeds; Allaah Says )what
means(:}Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he
is a believer— We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We
will surely give them their reward ]in the ereafter[ according to the
best of what they used to do.{]Quran 16:97[
Finally, it should be notedthat there are some etiquettes that must be
observed when supplicating and there are some matters that prevent the
supplication from being accepted;
Allaah Knows best.
