Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man is asking, Shaykh, about the most prominent obstacles to the answering of supplication. He says: I supplicate a great deal regarding the matter of marriage, and it has not yet been fulfilled.
Answer:
Do not despair. Increase in supplication, persist with Allah, and do not despair of the answer. Perhaps Allah is delaying the answer for your benefit and your good. So it is upon you to supplicate, and the answer is from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. He knows best what is in your interest. So entrust the entire matter to Allah, Mighty and Exalted. Do not leave off supplication and say, "I supplicated and supplicated, but I was not answered," as is mentioned in the hadith. Yes.
