The Ruling on Hurrying in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(Mighty and Majestic) by saying, “O Allah, I ask You to hasten marriage for me.” Is hurrying in supplication one of the causes of it not being answered? If it is permissible, I ask the Shaykh to pray for a righteous husband for me. May Allah reward you both.
Answer:
A Muslim supplicates to Allah with his utmost effort, does not despair of being answered, and does not abandon supplication if the answer does not come quickly. Indeed, Allah knows best what is in His servant’s interest and knows best what benefits him. He entrusts the matter to Allah, persists in supplication, increases in supplication, and does not lose hope. He leaves the matter to Allah, for He (Glorified and Exalted is He) knows best what is in the interest of His servant. It may be that delaying the answer is better for the servant than hastening it. Yes.
