Why are our Du’ā's not answered?
It was said to Ibrāḥim b. Adhām: “What is wrong with us that we supplicate and we receive no answer?”
Ibrāḥim said: “It is because you know Allāh and you do not obey him, and you know the Messenger and you do not follow his Sunnāh, and you know the Qur`ān and you do not act according to it, and you eat from the blessings of Allāh and you are not thankful for it, and you know Paradise and you do not seek it, and you know Hellfire and you do not flee from it, and you know Iblīs and you do not fight him but rather you agree with him, and you know death and you do not prepare for it, and you bury the dead and you do not learn from it, and you ignore your own faults and you are concerned with the faults of others.”
