Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is mentioned in the noble verse: "Call upon Me, and I will respond to you." Sometimes the questioner says: "Shaykh, I supplicate a lot, but it is not answered. Is there a defect in my actions?"
Answer:
So, it is upon you to supplicate, and the response is from Allah. He may hasten it, or He may delay it for your benefit. So, it is upon you to supplicate, and supplication is the best of the types of worship. You should increase in supplication, do not despair, and do not dislike it if Allah delays the response. Perhaps the delay is better for you. Allah knows best, Glorified and Exalted is He, regarding what is in your interest. Yes.
