Despair in the Acceptance of Prayers is Also Improper
If we pray to Allah (S.w.T.) for some worldly benefits or the Hereafter and our prayer is not answered it raises two noteworthy points. Firstly, we must know that Allah (S.w.T.) has promised to accept all prayers and Allah (S.w.T.) never goes back on His word.
As it is mentioned in the Holy book,
“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me.”
(Surah al-Baqarah 2:186)
At another place Allah (S.w.T.) says,
“And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will answer you.”
(Surah GhÄfir, 40:60)
The second point is that due to His unlimited wisdom He may delay the acceptance of some prayer. So if we do not get immediate gratification we should not lose hope of having our prayers accepted.
