Commentary
It was stated previously
that Allah Almighty is extremely nigh to the human beings. He is Aware of the
most of their circumstances. He is apprised their needs, knows their
expedience, wishes their welfare and betterment, hears their call, accepts
their supplication, and treats them with kindness and blessings. Now two
conditions have been commanded by God Almighty for acceptance of the
supplication:
Fal- yastajiibuu
Lii –
(So let them hear My call, they should obey My Revelations) it also includes the
meanings – to agree, to believe, to suppose, to confess, to accept. First
condition of the supplication is that the suppliant should obey the commands,
guidelines and manners instructed by God Almighty.
Wal-yu’-minuu
Bii –
(and let them believe in Me), the words ‘iimaan (belief)
and Mu’-min (believer) have been derived also from this word.
It has already been explained about the word ‘Belief’ that is to say, to
promise, to accept with the tongue, to believe in the heart and to devise for
practice likewise the belief. It is the second condition for acceptance of the
supplication. Besides these basic conditions, many other conditions have also
been mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and the Sayings of the
Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him), for
instance; to pray for right and correct thing, to beg with faith and sincerity,
lawful earnings, to take pure and lawful food, to be remained good etc.
Sometimes our prayers
are not accepted, then we should not become desperate and broken heart, and
think that any command or decision of God Almighty is never without philosophy
and expedience. However, it may be suspicion of defects and weaknesses in our
supplication. It is also possible that the acceptance of supplication may be hurtful
for us. So we should believe in betterment on the decision and philosophy of
God Almighty.
Secondly,
we should bear in mind that due to non acceptance of some supplications, it is
not reasonable that praying is not useful. Because sometimes no medicine
becomes useful in any disease, but the treatment is not left. So, there is no
reason of giving up praying due to non acceptance. It would be certainly any
reason in non acceptance. God Almighty knows our condition. He desires our
betterment. So we should pray all the times also, again and again before Him,
act upon His Guidelines, because it is the Path of Success.
