Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger
(p.b.u.h.) said: “Whoever does not ask from Allah, He (Allah) becomes angry at
him.” ()
In the previously quoted saying of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.), there is proof that
the supplication means requesting something from Allah, through which His
Contentment is attained. This is since not asking from Allah out of pride and
self-dependence is not permissible with respect to the Self-sufficient, the Most
Praiseworthy.
A poet took the meaning of this Hadith and put it into poetic form saying:
“Allah becomes angry when you abandon asking Him, while the Son of Adam becomes
angry, when you ask him for something.”
Therefore, Allah loves from His servants that they ask Him and that they turn
towards Him and that they manifest their destitution and lowliness in front of
Him. And He has made it a duty upon Himself to not send them back disappointed
and empty-handed, as His Messenger (p.b.u.h.) has informed us:
“There is not a Muslim upon the earth that calls to Allah with a supplication
except that Allah gives it to him or He removes some evil of equal proportion
from him as long as he doesn’t supplicate for something sinful or to sever
family ties.” So a man amongst the people said: 'What if we ask numerous
requests?' He (p.b.u.h.) said: “Allah is Akthar (Able to respond to numerous
requests).” (
In this is a sufficient clarification of the fact that Allah guarantees the
answering of the supplications. This is however, according to its conditions.
Thus, we shall go into details with the discussion concerning it, its
description, its conditions, its proper time and place and its etiquettes, as
well as what invalidates it.
