Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
Among the questions in the previous lesson, O Shaykh, one of the brothers asks, saying: What are the conditions for supplication to be accepted? May you be rewarded.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and all his Companions. Among the conditions for the acceptance of supplication is first that his food, drink, and clothing be from what is lawful.
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) inSahih Muslim 1015 Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2989Sahih (Darussalam)? That is, it is unlikely that it will be accepted from him because of eating what is forbidden. And one of the Companions, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Call upon Allah to make me one whose supplication is answered. He said: Purify your food, and your supplication will be answered. So this is the basic condition for the acceptance of supplication: that his food, drink, and clothing be from what is lawful.
The second condition is that he supplicates to Allah with certainty of acceptance. By His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) The third condition.
Not transgressing in supplication. Such as supplicating against a Muslim without right. This is transgression in supplication. He (Mighty and Majestic) said[Al-A'raf 7:55] And the fifth condition.
That the supplicant be persistent in supplication. He persists with his Lord in supplication and increases in supplication. He does not say, "I have supplicated and supplicated, but it was not answered for me," and then he abandons supplication. Yes.

His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in
a person who travels widely, his hair disheveled and covered with dust. He lifts his hand towards the sky (and thus makes the supplication): "O Lord, O Lord," whereas his diet is unlawful, his drink is unlawful
الرجل يطيل السفر أشحك أغبر يمد يديه إلى السماء يا رب يا رب ومطعمه حرام ومشربه حرامhis clothing is from the unlawful, and he was nourished by the unlawful. So how can that be accepted?
وملبسه حرام، فأنى يستجاب لذلكThe second condition is that he supplicates to Allah with certainty of acceptance. By His saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
Call upon Allah while you are certain of acceptance, for supplication is not accepted from one who is heedless and distracted,
ادعوا الله وأنتم موقنون بالإجابة، فإن الدعاء لا يستجاب من غافل لاه،Not transgressing in supplication. Such as supplicating against a Muslim without right. This is transgression in supplication. He (Mighty and Majestic) said
Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.
ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَThat the supplicant be persistent in supplication. He persists with his Lord in supplication and increases in supplication. He does not say, "I have supplicated and supplicated, but it was not answered for me," and then he abandons supplication. Yes.
