The ruling on ceasing supplication out of acceptance of what Allah has decreed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: It is well known that supplication is an act of worship. Is it permissible to stop supplicating out of acceptance of what Allah has decreed for him?

Answer:
Allah has commanded supplication. And Allah has apportioned and decreed, yet He commanded us to supplicate, because supplication is among the causes, and the greatest of them is supplication. Do not leave off supplication in reliance upon the divine decree, but rather do what Allah has commanded you to do,
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
[Ghafir 40:60]
. He commanded supplication along with the ability to do so, so you obey Allah the Exalted and supplicate to Allah alongside that.
