Question:
Despite the human being's need for his Lord, Shaykh Salih, at all times, in times of ease and in times of hardship, many of us neglect supplication. What is your opinion, Shaykh Salih?

Answer:
This is a great loss. That a person neglects supplication and turns away from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), while he does not do without Him for the blink of an eye. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has opened the door for him and called upon him to turn to Him and to supplicate to Him, not because He needs him, but because the servant is in need of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Among the mercy of Allah for His servants and His kindness to them is that He gave them the opportunity and commanded them to supplicate to Him so that He would respond to them; because of His knowledge of their need and their poverty, and that they do not do without Allah for the blink of an eye. So the Muslim should be in constant connection with his Lord (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
