Hastening acceptance in prayer
The expectation of fast acceptance in prayer causes a lot hopelessness in faith which leads to disbelief in Allah after waiting for a lot of years.
Someone perhaps might be praying for sound health, much wealth, and promotion for years, and the person then feels like is Allah hearing his servants?
Allah hears what we say, knows what we want to say before we say it, but He loves to examine the heart of Muslims before giving them what they want.
Hastened acceptance doesn’t symbolize the love of Allah for you, it explains at times your disobedience that Allah didn’t want you to be calling him every time. Like what he did to Satan, when he asked for long life, Allah granted his request. But this doesn’t makes Satan love one.
Allah in the Quran says: (and soon will your God give you so that you shall be well pleased) Q93-5.
The prophet asked his creator for many things, he didn’t give him all what he asked him for, he gave him part and kept the remaining till after his death.
Some Muslims have become something else due to the slow acceptance, they pray as if they’re commanding Allah to give them what they want.
The prophet (SAW) said: (the prayer of each everyone of you is answered when he’s not in haste, he’ll be saying: I call my God but he didn’t answer me) transmitted by AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM.
Prayer is reserved when there’s no sign of acceptance, either for prevention from disaster, or to plant tree for the person, and it’ll be accepted immediately.
The reservation for the prayer become late acceptance which will later become criticism of religion in Nigeria.
Leave your prayer for it to be reserved and to come later to become undiscovered property.
