The Ruling on Hurrying in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister says: I supplicate to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, saying, “O Allah, I ask You to hasten marriage for me.” Is hurrying in supplication one of the causes of a supplication not being answered?
Answer:
This is not one of the causes of a supplication not being answered. Asking for hastening is a supplication. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought rain, he said, “O Allah, send us beneficial, hastening rain, not delayed rain,” because hastening it is in the interest of the servant. As for hurrying in supplication, it means that a person says, “I supplicated and supplicated, but I was not answered,” and then he abandons supplication. This is what is prohibited.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
