Question:
He asks: Does supplication avert the divine decree? And is the reason they are treated in the heavens that whichever prevails, prevails?
Answer:
Supplication is a cause. Supplication is one of the causes. If Allah decrees that this servant will supplicate and benefits him through his supplication, He averts the disliked thing from him; He averts the evil from him. This is up to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
