Our Supplications Are Bouncing Back

[syamuj]

:
Listened to this bayaan when it was being broadcast live on message.tv and I found Myself weeping instantaneously.

[syamuj]

The whole bayaan is a must listen.

[amr123]

The whole bayaan is a must listen.

I listened to it today. It really strikes ones heart. Really felt guilty.
May Allah give him and good ulema long lives so that more people will benefit. ameen.



The 10 reasons Ibrahim bin Adham (ra) (one of the salafs) mentioned why our prayers and duas are not accepted:

[amr123]

Ibrahim ibn Adham, may Allah have Mercy upon him, was a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyaan ath-Thawri, and he was asked about the saying of Allah - The Most High:
“And your Lord says: ‘Call on Me, I will answer your prayer.. “ [Surat Ghafir, 40:60]
“We supplicate and we are not answered.” So he said to them:

1. “You know Allah, Yet you do not obey Him,
2. You recite the Qur’aan, Yet you do not act according to it,
3. You know Shaitaan, Yet you have agreed with him,
4. You proclaim that you love the Messenger of Allah, Yet you abandon his Sunnah,
5. You proclaim your love for Paradise, Yet you do not act to gain it,
6. You proclaim your fear for the Fire, Yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins,
7. You say: “Indeed death is true”, Yet you have not prepared for it,
8. You busy yourselves with finding faults with others, Yet you do not look at your own faults,
9. You eat that which Allah has provided for you, Yet you do not thank Him,
10. You bury your dead, Yet you do not take a lesson from it.”

subhanAllah that was beautiful, jazak Allahu khair

[AbuFatimah]

At the end of his lecture at Punjab University, perhaps his first lecture after his heart operation, he described the heart rending scene of beloved Prophet (PBUH) at the tomb of his mother. And then he said to the students: My beloved students do not do these functions - change your life. And that is what we we need desperately, that is what we require - to shake off the Duniya and make ourselves free from attachment to the perishable things. May be we should watch it again and again till we break free from the chains.

We have not reached even this level.

this was also beautiful. Jazak Allahu khair. Some times you really need these reminders. perhaps all the time is more appropriate. Ya Allah forgive us
