Why Didn't My Prayers Be Answered?

He said that Allah is most fair..but why when I need justice he never answers my prayers .. I pray a lot, even I pray to ask to cry ma Alloh .. but why Alloh just keep quiet ..? But look at my tmen2 who don't pray, they live happily n always aza answered every time they pray .. what is the name of justice? Why was my prayer not being answered?

ANSWER: It is true, Allah SWT is Mostadil, never silent. He who is merciful always responds to the prayers of His servants (QS. Ghafir: 60), as long as the servant prays earnestly, sincerely, and patiently.

However, also remember the "tadzkirah" from the Prophet Muhammad so that we are patient and do not say "my prayer was not answered".

"Someone among you will be granted a request, while not in a hurry, namely saying: I have prayed but it has not been granted". [HR. Bukhari and Muslim].

Allah Almighty knows what is best for us. Just laugh and continue worship and prayer.

After all, prayer is worship, whether granted or not. Allah will not waste our good deeds. Certainly!

Make sure, we also meet the requirements of being granted prayers, including sincerity, prayer is good (for good), and our food and clothes are halal.

“A man who is shabby and shabby from a long journey raises his hands to the sky high and prays: O Rabbi, O Rabbi, while his food is haram, his drink is haram, his clothes are unclean and his flesh grows from what is unclean, then how can his prayer be granted? ? " [HR. Muslim].

Hafizh Ibn Hajar said, every prayer must be answered, but with different forms of granting, sometimes what is asked for is granted, or sometimes it is replaced with something else, as the hadith of the Prophet Saw from 'Ubadah bin Shamit:

"There is no Muslim in the world praying for a request, but Allah will surely grant it or eliminate the evils thereof" [Fathul Bari].

If you feel that your prayer is not being answered, let's look at the words of the Prophet Muhammad as follows:

"A Muslim does not pray unless it is granted. It can be accelerated by giving in the world, it can be used as savings for him in the hereafter and can also have his sins written off the equivalent of his prayer as long as he does not pray while sinning or breaking friendship or asking for it to be granted " (Narrated by Tirmidhi from Abu Hurairoh). Allah knows best.*
