Why Allah Doesn t Accept Our Prayers 1
Why ALLAH does not accept our Prayers

“I never understood the relation of a man, his desires and the God.”

He kept looking at me silently. I said “A man’s 80% wishes are un-necessary, permissible and innocent. And if ALLAH fulfills them, although He has no problem in doing it, but these files of desires keep dribbling from table to table and from the office of one person to another”
I looked up at his face. It was silent, appeasing and smiling. I continued “For example, a student does the hard work and also prays to ALLAH for his success, but he fails instead. For example, a patient gets himself operated by the best doctor in the city and with that prays to ALLAH to heal him’ a business man opens a shop in the main market and prays to bless his business’ a young man wants to marry by his choice’ a job less man applies for a visa’ a players practices for a whole year’ parents send their children to high class educational institutes’ government employees save each penny for their whole life’ a hungry man wishes for food etc’ but Sir their all these wishes never come true. The patient dies asking Him to get cured, a job less man grows old applying for a job, the student despite of his intelligent mind fails instead. Why Khawaja Saab? Why ALLAH does not fulfill their permissible wishes? What is the expedient in it?”

He smiled and spoke after a little while “Your reason to blame is right but there is another motive in it.”
He stopped for a while and then spoke again “to explain this motive, I would like to give you a parable. You must have seen young children. Many times they wake up at night and cry so that their mother can feed them. But the mother, despite that the milk feeders are nearby, don’t give them. Similarly an ill child would time and again ask for prohibited foods but parents don’t listen to them. They wish to run on the road, to play with the knives. But the parents turn down their all requests. Why?”
He looked at me but I remained silent. He said

    He tells the story of a young girl and boy in trying situations and persuades his audience to feel sorry for them. The boy lives in a bad area. His father is “jobless” and his mother is a “sleep-in domestic.” The girl must take on the “role of [a] mother” because her “mother died.” What reader can help but feeling sorry for a young child who has no hope? They still live in fear and desolation and have no hope, for their race is sinking. Once, their people worked with “George Washington” and “shed blood in the revolution.” But, they fell from higher hopes and were put on “slave ships... in chains.” The reader can’t help but feel sorry for a race that has been so abused and taken advantage of.…

    The ultimate goal of most parents is to see that their child succeeds in life. While this may be the sole for most, fathers also expect more from their children, as is evident in author Lord Chesterfield’s letter to his son traveling far from home. The strategies used by Chesterfield not only display his desired intentions for his son, but, also, the rhetorical strategies implemented in the letter reveal the values Chesterfield holds as true. In order to persuade his son that the knowledge he holds is pertinent, Chesterfield first disbands the notion that parents only give advice to induce suffering in the child, then ties the ability, and pride of himself to the success of his son and finally suggests that to knowledge held by his son is…

    Despite the mother’s countless efforts to oppress the need for change within the lives of her children, the narrator’s father seemed to have had the upper hand in the development of their children despite his limited efforts. An evidence of this can be witnessed in the occupation adopted by the narrator; as described by the line “I have to worry about being late and weather I have a clean shirt and weather my car will start and about all the other countless things one must worry about when he teaches at a great Midwestern university.” (Macleod 93) Portraying quite clearly that the narrator chose to pursue the path that his father had started him on. As opposed to the path that his mother had liked for him to have been on. Furthermore, proving that change is something that everyone adores, regardless of their age. And it was the father’s ability to accept that change within the lives of his children that allowed for him to have a greater impact upon their lives that their own mother.…
