Allah ta'ala has granted us this month with all its great qualities. The most important thing which strengthens the connection between us and our Lord, is the act of supplication.
The one who does not seek his needs from Allah ta'ala, possesses pride within him and will face punishment. He is unable to submit to his Lord and if he does not present his needs to Him, to whom else can he turn? Allah ta'ala grants such individuals a punishment whereby, they become dependant on the world. They constantly beg from others, remaining wretched and humiliated. This is a severe punishment which our Ummah currently faces.
It is unfortunate, that despite having the Deen, we run around begging and seeking assistance from others instead of Allah ta'ala.
We must learn the lessons that Ramadan teaches us. This blessed month arrives to compensate for the deficiencies within us and to guide us.
All acts of worship are essentially forms of supplication to Allah ta'ala, and even Dhikr is a form of supplication.
The one who turns to Allah ta'ala in supplication and pleads to Him, becomes his beloved servant.
Allah ta'ala has promised that when His servant seeks from Him, He will certainly respond. However, only Allah ta'ala knows what is truly best for us, and He may withhold that which is not beneficial. In place of what we seek, Allah ta'ala may grant us another treasure, something even better, which perfectly fulfils our needs and brings ultimate benefit.
If a person’s supplication is not answered immediately, it may be that Allah ta'ala delays it, removes a calamity, or withholds it out of His wisdom. Furthermore, even if a request is not granted in this world, Allah ta'ala will reward the supplicant in the Hereafter, continuously adorning Paradise for him as a compensation for his supplication.
When a person has a need, he should immediately seek from Allah without hesitation. We should ask for anything from Allah ta'ala, however, our requests should be according to the boundaries of Shariah. A person faces severe loss when he fails to supplicate to Allah ta'ala.
If we lose something in our possession, we should seek it from Allah ta'ala. In reality, Allah ta'ala desires that His servant remains connected to Him and constantly seeks from Him. This act is very beloved to Him and in return, the angels begin to make Dua for the supplicant.
A person who fails to supplicate, either he has no belief in Allah ta'ala, he is displeased with Allah ta'ala, has evil thoughts or has a complaint against Allah ta'ala.
The best time to supplicate is during prostration. When we are praying Nafil prayers, we should supplicate in our Sujood, or we could simply perform a Nafil Sajdah and remain in that position for ten or fifteen minutes.
حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
We assign our issues and problems to Allah ta'ala and request Him to fulfil our needs of both worlds. In response to this Dua, we will be granted the goodness of this world and the Hereafter.
We will be granted the goodness of this world whereby we will be enabled to perform those actions which are pleasing to Allah ta'ala, rather than the worldly distractions that spoil our Deen and lead to destruction. We will be granted such goodness of the world which supports our success in the Hereafter.
During the Dhikr gathering, we should avoid sleeping and becoming lazy. Rather, we should remain alert and recite the Kalimaat audibly and collectively.
