Obstacles to the Answering of Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Why does a person supplicate and it is not answered, when Allah the Mighty and Majestic says:[Ghafir 40:60]?
Answer:
There must be an obstacle among the obstacles to supplication. There is something that prevents it, either because he supplicates with a heedless, distracted heart, or because he eats what is forbidden, so it is not answered for him. There are obstacles to the acceptance of supplication. He should return to himself and examine himself. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
