Does supplication prevent divine decree?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does supplication prevent divine decree?

Answer:
Supplication is part of the divine decree; supplication is part of the divine decree. The One who commanded supplication is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), in His saying:
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
[Ghafir 40:60]
It is He who decreed and determined the destinies (Glorified and Exalted is He). So supplication is from the decree of Allah. It is He who decreed that this servant would supplicate, and that Allah would respond to him by averting evil from him, or by responding to him and bringing him benefit and good. Yes.
