𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓
Why does Allah
not hear my prayers? I have been praying to Allah to send me the right man to
marry for years now and I can’t help but start to think that my prayers are
never going to be answered. I am 26 years old, I have a very good job (for
which I am forever thankful to Allah) and feel that I am ready to complete the
other half of my deen and start my own family. However, I am slowly starting to
lose faith. I have been told many times that I am too picky and should just
settle for anyone but I do not want to end up married to the wrong person or married
just for the sake of being married. I want the right man, the man I ask Allah
for. I want Allah to hear me.
𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️
Praise be to
Allah.
You must not
lose hope, nor become impatient, and you must continue to pray and be proactive
about finding someone. I am certain that the right man will come, by Allah’s
grace.
I know that
you have been patient, but I ask that you continue to be patient and wait for
Allah’s plan to come to pass. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace),
told us, “The supplication of one of you is granted if he does not grow
impatient and say-I supplicated my Lord but it was not granted.“ [Muslim]
Abu Huraira
reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
as saying: “The supplication of the servant is granted in case he does not
supplicate for sin or for severing the ties of blood”. (Sahih Muslim 2735 c)
Allah says
وَاِذَا سَاَلَـكَ عِبَادِىْ عَنِّىْ فَاِنِّىْ قَرِيْبٌۗ اُجِيْبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ اِذَا دَعَ®انِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لِىْ وَلْيُؤْمِنُوْا بِىْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُوْنَ
{And when My
slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near
(to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when
he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and
believe in Me, so that they may be led aright} (Surah: Al-Baqara: Verse 186)
The reason why
supplication are not answered may be because someone has done something that
Allah has forbidden, such as having haraam wealth whether it be food or drink
or clothing or accommodation or transportation, or he has taken a haraam job,
or the stain of sin is still in his heart, or he is following bidah
(innovation) in religion, or his heart has been overtaken by negligence.
Narrated Abu
Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “O you people! Indeed Allah is Tayyib (good) and he does not accept but
what is good. And indeed Allah ordered the believers with what He ordered the
Messengers. He (ﷺ)
said
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوْا مِنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَاعْمَلُوْا صَالِحًـاۗ اِنِّىْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِيْمٌۗ
‘O you
Messengers! Eat of the good things and do righteous deeds. Verily I am well
acquainted with what you do (Surah: Al-Muminoon, verse: 51)
And He said
يٰۤاَ يُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا کُلُوْا مِنْ طَيِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ
‘O you who believe! Eat from the good things
We have provided you (Surah: Al-Baqara: Verse 172)
He said: “And he mentioned a man: ‘Who is
undertaking a long journey, whose hair is disheveled and he is covered with
dust. He raises his hands to the heavens and says: “O Lord! O Lord!” Yet his
food is from the unlawful, his drink is from the unlawful, his clothing is from
the unlawful, and he was nourished by the unlawful. So how can that be
accepted?'” (Jami Tirmidhi: Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 2989)
A person must
abandon what is prohibited by Allah, such that he does not eat what is
forbidden, or consume usury, or wealth obtained through trickery or deception,
and so on. The supplication of such a person is not accepted
A person
should supplicate to Allah whilst being certain of a response, not just making
an attempt to see if it works. Some people supplicate to try it out, to see if
it will be accepted or not. This type of supplication is not accepted. Call
upon Allah whilst you are certain that He, the Most High, will respond to you.
And if you supplicate to Allah whilst you are doubtful, Allah will not accept
such a supplication.
When
supplicating to Allah for something that you want from Him, you must seek it
from Him sincerely. Call upon Allah whilst you are aware of the fact that you
are in need of Allah, and that He is free of any need of you, and He is fully
able to give you what you seek from Him.
It is possible
that you are picky, so you should really ask Allah to guide you to do what is
right for you. It may be that a certain man is the perfect one for you, but you
don’t see it because you cannot see beyond your conditions. I only say this
because I know several couples who ended up marrying people that did not
fulfill their conditions, but it didn’t matter, and they ended up very happy,
anyway.
May Allah give
you the best of this world and the next.
