The Effect of Supplication in Changing What Has Been Decreed for a Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he asks: Does du'a' (supplication) have an effect in changing what has been decreed for a person before his creation?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged supplication. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded supplication[Ghafir 40:60] And Allah has decreed the decrees, and He is the One who commanded supplication. So the Muslim should supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and increase in supplication, and not ask whether it changes the decree or does not change the decree; this is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
