Why our Du'as are not answered ?

Why our Du'as are not answered ?
by ibn Rajab al Hanbalifrom Khushu' fis-salah

Ibrahim ibn Adham - may Allah have mercy on him - a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyan ath-Thawri, was asked about the saying of Allah - the Most High:

"and your Lord says: "Call on me I will answer your prayer..." [al Qur'an 40:60]




"We supplicate and we are not answered." So he said to them:


  • You know Allah, Yet you do not obey Him,


  • You recite the Qur'an, Yet do not act according to it,


  • You know Shaitan, Yet you have agreed with him,


  • You proclaim that you love Muhammad Yet you abandon his Sunnah,


  • You proclaim your love for Paradise, Yet you do not act to gain it,


  • You proclaim your 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 with 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."

      -------------------- Subject: good or be silent   Every Mukallaf should safeguard his tongue against all kinds of loose talk except when it is evident that talking will be a means of beneficence. When talking and being quiet are both equal as a prudent measure, then the Sunna is to abstain from speech. This is because even lawful speech may lead to unlawful or unpleasant matters. This is, unfortunately, a common practice. Abu-Hurairah reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:   "Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak what is good or be silent." (Agreed upon)   This Hadith is clear and indisputable that a person should not talk unless what he wants to say is good and there is benefit from it. However, when he doubts whether there would be benefit or good, he should then not speak. Imam Shafi'ee said:   "If a person wishes to say something then he should think before he starts talking. If there is good, then he should speak, othe
