THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 16th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 1st October, 2023). *_AN IMPORTANT CONDITION FOR OUR DUA OR SUPPLICATIONS TO BE ANSWERED BY ALLAH_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah brothers and sisters in Islam. It's very important to note that our efforts to please ALLAH and for ALLAH to accept our prayers, supplications etc is heavily based on some conditions but more importantly ensuring our source of income is halaal. ALLAH says
“Verily, ALLAH accepts only from those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”[Al-Maa’idah 5:27]. from the tafseer or studies of this one verse and many of its kind in the Qur'an, it basically means ALLAH only accept from good source without any excuses.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) stated that a response was unlikely for one who eats, drinks and wears haram things. In the hadeeth it says: [The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him)] mentioned the man who undertakes a lengthy journey stretches his hands towards heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ when his food is haram, his drink is haram, his clothes are haram. He is nourished with haram, so how can he be granted a response? Narrated by Muslim, 1015.
Why did the Prophet used a travelling person? Because a travelling persons dua is highly likely to be answered but imagine his sources of food, clothing etc is haraam, his dua would not be accepted.
Ibn al-Qayyim said: Thus eating haram things saps the strength of the du`a and weakens it. If you gamble, cheat, steal, bet or work in haraam environment then please stop and fear death. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
