Allah has named Himself Al-Mujeeb



 Allah has named Himself Al-Mujeeb, which means the One who responds. Just as we are certain that the Qur’an is true, we must be certain that Allah, Al-Mujeeb, will answer our call.
We should never think that Allah will not answer, because by feeling so, we are denying this attribute of Allah. Whenever we are feeling down, we should not hesitate to ask Him over and over again, and to go into sujood and plead because that is the closest that we are to Him.

 If we realize this, the doors of mercy have been opened for us, because the Prophet PBUH said, “For whoever the door of du`a’ opened, for him the doors of mercy are opened.” (Tirmidhi). Your du`a’ is deposited with Allah, and as was narrated from the Prophet PBUH, your du`a’ does something. Either Allah will speedily answer your du`a’ or He will save it for you until the Hereafter, or He will avert something bad equal to the value of the du`a’ (Ahmad).

So we should never leave du`a’. The Prophet PBUH told us, “Do not stop making du`a’, because nobody who makes du`a’ is forsaken.” (Hakim) Insha’Allah, you will be answered. The Prophet PBUH said, “Verily your Lord is Generous and Shy. If His servant raises his hands to Him (in supplication) He becomes shy to return them empty.” (Tirmidhi) Remember: our Lord is not forgetful. Sometimes you might even forget that you once made du`a’ for something, but He might give it to you years later...
