Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Shaykh, does du'a' (supplication) have an effect in changing what was written for a person before his creation?
Answer:
His supplication is part of what was written for him before his creation. Allah wrote for him that he would supplicate. Therefore, there is no contradiction between supplication and divine decree, because supplication is part of the divine decree. Yes.
