The Conditions of Supplication, the Causes of Its Acceptance, and the Ruling on Delay in Response

Question:
May Allah reward you. You ask when a supplication is accepted and what its conditions are. Perhaps you meant the conditions of acceptance, for example?

Answer:
Supplication is accepted if the supplication is pure, pure for the face of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and if it is in the manner that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has prescribed, and if the causes that lead to the answer are carried out, such as eating what is lawful, seeking the times when answers are likely, having the presence of the heart, and not transgressing in supplication. Transgressing in supplication is, for example, to curse a person who does not deserve to be cursed; this is transgression in supplication. Or to ask for something that is not fitting for him; all of this is transgression in supplication. If the supplication comes in the prescribed manner and is accompanied by the causes of the answer, then Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is near and responsive. He may answer his supplication immediately, or He may delay the answer for the benefit of the servant, because there may be a benefit for him in the delay of the answer, or He may avert from him an evil equal to it. So the servant should not despair and say, "I have supplicated and supplicated, but I have not been answered." Let him continue with the supplication. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) answers the supplication of whoever supplicates to Him. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me . So the Muslim must rectify what is on his side with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). If he rectifies what is on his side with Allah, then Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is near and responsive and does not break His promise. Yes.
