Suratul Fatiha - Hujjat Workshop

Ibada is not just for the musalla, it is a way of life. When weask Him for help, we call that dua’. Allah in the Qur’an says;وَآرَبمٌُ‏ ٍِِّ مُوِّ‏ ‏ٍَب سَإَىْزَُُىُٓ‏ وَإُِ‏ رَعُذُّواْ‏ ‏ِّعَِذَ‏ اىئِّ‏الَ‏ رُذِصُىَٕب إَُِّ‏ اإلِّسَبَُ‏ ىَظَيُىًْ‏ مَفَّبسْ‏And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you countAllah's favors, you will not be able to number them; mostsurely man is very unjust, very ungrateful.You just have to ask without putting any time restraints orrestrictions because His vision is better than ours. Even if adua’ has not been answered immediately, know that it iswaiting to be answered somewhere.Anecdote: There was a man who died and was being shownaround all the places in Janna. He was shown his house and allthe rooms within that house. There was one room in thehouse which was filled with presents. It was like Eid 100 timesover. When he went to look at the presents, he saw that allthe labels had his name on them. He thought this is good. Heopens the presents and says these are a better version ofwhat he had asked for. The angels told him that if they hadgiven him him these in the world, they would have been oldmodels so he has been given the most up to date modelswhich will never date.A person came to the 6 th Imam and said; “My dua’ just doesnot get answered however hard I try. I have tried every ‘amaalbut it just doesn’t work and I would like this dua to beanswered now”. Imam told him that if he needed somethingso badly, he should pray as though he was drowning.
