The Non-Response to Supplication

Question:
I move on to Umm 'Asim from Riyadh, who says: I often supplicate to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, for specific matters for myself, but until now I have not seen any of that in my life.

Answer:
That is not a condition for the permissibility of supplication. Supplicate even if your supplication is not hastened. Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Perhaps the delay in the response is in your benefit. Allah knows, and you do not know. So do not say, “I supplicated and supplicated, but I was not answered,” and then you abandon supplication. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. So supplicate, and do not despair or lose hope in the mercy of Allah. You do not know that there may be a benefit in the delay. Allah knows, and you do not know. Also, do not have a cessation of supplication or despair of the response. Furthermore, perhaps the non-response is from you, because of you. That is by supplicating while you are heedless. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says . Supplicate while your heart is present, certain of the response from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. This is a cause from you that prevents the response. Or more severe than this is eating what is forbidden. The one who eats what is forbidden, and nourishes himself with it, and drinks it, and wears what is forbidden, Allah does not answer his supplication. Yes.
