The Fulfilment of the Wishes and Prayers of the People

Allah does not fulfil people's prayers or what is in a nation until they change what is in themselves, if they are already then Allah will give them his mercy and support. in this article we gonna see how this can happen as follows:

….. Indeed Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their souls. And when Allah wishes to visit evil on a people, there is nothing that can avert it, and they have no protector besides Him.[1]

If the change in people's thoughts and will is not achieved, they will experience more bitter and difficult days in the future. As much as they wish for death:

  The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:

  “There will not come a time upon you except that after it is worse than it!”[2]

As long as people's choice is not the same as God's choice; There will be no emergence until mankind reaches the urgency of existence but the innocent.

In another verse, Allah said

When you have finished the prayers, remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down, and when you feel secure, perform the [complete] prayers, for the prayer is indeed a timed prescription for the faithful.[3]

In this verse Allah is telling us that if we finish payers it's only enough but to remember Him, standing, sitting, lying, in all situations, we should worship, this will keep our faith and lead to fulfilling our prayers.[4]
