Allah says,” O My creature! Pray and trust Me for your welfare!” And man in his
ignorance behaves stubbornly. If he hadn’t a screen of negligence over his mind, he could
understand the truth. Allah says,” O angels! Delay fulfilling his wishes! I like the voice in
which he is supplicating. If man realises this, he will submit himself totally to the wish of
Allah and shun praying for mundane wishes.
THOSE WHOSE PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED
Authentic sources quote that Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) has said,” There are three types of
persons whose prayers are answered:
1. Those who go on the holy pilgrame of Haj, their prayers are answered. It is advisable
that people at home are taken good care of...
2. Those who do Jehad in the way of Allah. His family and children must be provided
support in his absence.
3. The prayers of the sick are also answered. People should, therefore take care of the
sick and should not upset them in any way..
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) said that five prayers are such that Allah will certainly
accept them:
1. Prayer by the Just Imam.
2. Prayer of the oppressed (mazloom).
3. The prayer of a pious son for his parents.
4. The prayer of pious parents for their son.
5. The prayer of a momin for his brothe momin in his absence.
- Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) has said,” Allah shall definitely accept six types of prayer:
1. Prayer of a pious father for his son.
2. Curse of a father for his disinherited (Aaq-shuda) son.
3. .Curse of an oppressed person against a tyrant..
4. The prayer of one momin for another..
5. The prayer of an oppressed when he recieves a consideration from a cruel
person..
6. Prayer for the pleasure of the Ahl al Bayt.
BEWARE OF THE CURSE OF THE OPPRESSED
The Prophet of Allah (a.s.) says,” Beware of the curse of the oppressed.that it goes
beyond the skies and Allah looks at him with kindness and says,’ Raise his prayer, I
shall accept it!’”
