Verily, those who are too proud to worship Me will enter hell, with humiliation!\u201d[3]<\/div>\n<div>The verse is too clear in linking between supplication and response (call unto Me, I shall respond to you).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3- \u201cI answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me\u201d.[4]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The definitive relationship between supplication and response is clear and explicit in this group of verses from God\u2019s Book. It repels all doubt from the soul about the definiteness of the answer from God for every supplication, unless the answer is harmful to the asker, or the general system of which the supplication is considered a part of. The responses in these verses\u00a0 are unconditional and not attached to anything.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As for the conditions that we will talk about, they are in fact related to the fulfillment and confirmation of the supplication, or the interest of the supplicator himself. Without these conditions, the supplication is weakened or negated.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So, the relationship between supplication and response is a definitive relationship that cannot be changed. It is an absolute relationship that cannot be paused, unless the condition confirms and proves the state of supplication, towards the Almighty\u2019s saying: (If he calls upon him and reveals the distress).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What was mentioned in the islamic texts in the prophet\u2019s (pbuh) hadiths affirm the relation between supplication and response.<\/div>\n<div>In the divine hadith, God says:\u201d O Jesus, I am the best listener, I answer the call of supplicators if they supplicate for me\u201d. [5]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>God\u2019s messenger (pbuh) says:\u201d If a servant passes through a valley so he opens his hands for calling upon God and remembering him, God will fill all of this valley with good deeds. So, you can either fill it with many good deeds or little\u201d. [6]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0Abi Abdullah Al Sadek (a.s) says:\u201d If a servant closes his mouth and doesn\u2019t ask for anything he won\u2019t get anything, so ask and be answered.[7]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Maysar bin Abd Al Aziz said that Abi Abdullah Al Sadek says (a.s):\u201d O Maysar, every knocked door will be opened for its knocker\u201d.\u00a0 [8]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Commander of the Faithful says:\u201d When you increase the knocking on the door, it will open for you\u201d. [9]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the commandments of God messenger (pbuh) for Ali (a.s), he says:\u201d O Ali, I recommend you with supplications because it is accompanied with the answer\u201d. [10]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Al Imam Al Sadek (a.s) says:\u201d If someone is inspired to supplicate in the time of distress, then know that distress is lasting for a short time\u201d. [11]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Al Imam Al Sadek (a.s) says:\u201d I swear to God that no servant insists on calling upon God almighty, but God will respond to him\u201d. [12]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The islamic articles affirm this definitive and absolute relation between supplication and response. They clearly show that God almighty feels embarrassed to reject his servant\u2019s supplication when he supplicates for him.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the divine hadith, God almighty says:\u201d My servant doesn\u2019t behave with me fairly. He supplicates for me so I feel shy not to answer him, and\u00a0 he disobeys Me but doesn\u2019t feel ashamed of me\u201d.[13]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Al Imam Al Sadek says:\u201d Whenever a servant raises his hands to God almighty and supplicates for him, God almighty will feel embarrassed to reject his call\u201d.[14]<\/div>\n<div>In the divine hadith, God almighty says:\u201d If a servant pooped then performed ablution then prays and calls upon Me, but I didn\u2019t answer him, then he should never ask for the issues of his religion and life because I harshly treated him, and I am not a harsh God .\u201d[15]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Commander of the Faithful says:&#8221; God wouldn\u2019t open the door of supplication if he wants to close the door of response\u201d. [16]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Commander of the Faithful says:\u201d He who is given the chance to supplicate won\u2019t be deprived of response\u201d. [17]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the last two texts, there is a glance of Alawite sense. God Almighty is generous and faithful, so if the door of supplication is opened, the door of the answer cannot be closed to the servant, and if the servant is granted the success of supplication, he cannot be denied the answer.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The messenger of God (pbuh) says:\u201d When the door of supplication is open for you, then the door of response is open too. So when the door of supplication is open for you, make all your efforts in supplication because God never feels bored\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 [18]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><strong>Supplication Of Ahl Al Bayt (pbuh), Al Sheikh Mohammad Mahdi Al Asfi- Freely<\/strong><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>[1] The meaning of saying that this relationship is inevitable is not an imposition of an order on God Almighty, for He, Glory be to Him, has written mercy on Himself: \u201c&#8221;Salamun &#8216;Alaikum&#8221; (peace be on you); your God has written Mercy for Himself, \u201d (Al An\u2019am, verse 54).<\/div>\n<div>[2] Surah Al Namel, verse 62<\/div>\n<div>[3] Surah Al Mu&#8217;min, verse 60<\/div>\n<div>[4] Surah Al Baqara, verse 186<\/div>\n<div>[5] Usul Al Kafi.<\/div>\n<div>[6] Reward of Deeds (Thawab Al A\u2019mal), page 137<\/div>\n<div>[7] Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means) 4: 108, 8606<\/div>\n<div>[8]\u00a0 Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means) 4: 1085, 8611<\/div>\n<div>[9]\u00a0 Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means) 4: 1085, 8611<\/div>\n<div>[10]\u00a0 Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means) 4: 1085, 8613<\/div>\n<div>[11]\u00a0\u00a0 Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means): The Prayer Book, The doors of supplication, door 2, 18<\/div>\n<div>[12] Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means) 4: 1087, 8624<\/div>\n<div>[13] Usul Al kafi, The book of Supplication, The door of insisting in Supplication, 5<\/div>\n<div>[14] Guiding Hearts for Al Daylami<\/div>\n<div>[15] Uddat al da\u2019i, Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a, The Prayer Book, Doors of Supplication, door 4, 1<\/div>\n<div>[16] Guiding Hearts for Al Daylami<\/div>\n<div>[17]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means): The Prayer Book, The doors of supplication, door 2, 12 and 4: 1087, 8624<\/div>\n<div>[18]\u00a0 Wasa\u2019il Al Shi\u2019a (The Shiite Means) 4: 1087, 8624<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>source<a href=\"https:\/\/english.almaaref.org\/essaydetails.php?eid=5427&amp;cid=61\">: english.almaaref\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God almighty may postpone answering his servant&#8217;s need or replace it, but in both cases He almighty will respond.
