How to get a Dua/Prayer answered?
-
Assalamu alaikum All!
Need your help to understand how we can seek divine interventation in our lives...few months back i fell ill, iam undergoing the treatment but the illness has affected my physical appearance & mental peace as well. Iam in a state where apart from keeping faith & positive attitude i cannot do much to change my condition. But sometimes it is difficult to remain so hopefull & optimistic al the time. My question is does Dua/prayer help in changing one's condition or is everything a matter of cause & effect? Iam trying to keep myself busy in understanding Quran & trying to be a true & good 'muslim' .... is there any such thing as receiving healing through faith in 'Allah' ? Please, would be helpful to receive some motivation to remain hopeful of the future.
P.s request some members not to post irrelevant or 'trying to be witty' comments

Dua is not prayer and prayer is religious and has nothing to do with Islam.
What illness do you have? Some illnesses' cures are hidden by the sovereign Jinn (psychopaths) -
Peace Kaiokenred,
By dua/prayer i do not mean any ritualistic prayer or salaat...jus a way of trying to connect to 'The Creator'. Is it possible to ask 'The Creator' not any 'diety' to help us through an affliction? that is my question

It is possible but worthless as nothing's gonna happen.
As for the last question, for example how Cancer's cure is hidden because they make a lot of money from it

Have you even actually studied what dua means in the quran? Or do you incessantly post everything from servant of light without study?
Frankly, anyone who claims that 'prayer' is not part of The quran or Islam hasn't read the book or studied it in any fashion. Because the notion, exegetically, is nonsensical.
lol @ jinn = psychopaths.
Again, have you even studied jinn for yourself? There are GOOD psychopaths??? Because there are good amongst the jinns.

Peace Nefertiti,
Sorry to hear about your situation, wish you all the best. I know it's hard, but stick to the positive attitude. Belief is everything. There have been cases where people have been cured by mere belief, just keep fighting. That is the point of praryer, it helps us be optimistic. Be positive always. Don't let your physical ailments bring you down. Find things to occupy your time, things that bring you peace and make you happy. Stay as busy as possible. Remember, the only person that exists is you. All the people in your life are mere caricatures in your play.
What have the doctors said?

I believe translations that used arabic of Muhammad's time and that actually makes sense. Not ones clearly affected by hadiths to mean almost nothing similar to what they really say.
The whole concept of prayer is retarded, Mr.scumbag admin. It's obvious you're just a bully who has admin powers and think the fear of ban might change anything, but I honestly don't care. Just don't forget to pray to your non-existent idol afterwards.
Anyone who believes you must pray to an omnipotent creator is a moron
Anyone who believes in a creator with limited powers is also a moron -
Prayer always get answered.. however sometime we don't like the answer..
Prayer does help in changing your own / inner condition.. it gives you calm and peace.. that is the cause & effect of prayer. Your inner feelings of calm/peace 'might' trigger something else....Salam / Peace

For people wanting "Calm and Peace" the best quickest thing to do the job surely is to needle/ drug yourself.
Is Calm and peace what we realy want, well we will get enough of that when we are dead and buried.
pain/suffering/danger to waken the innerself and become stronger- sometimes is good, that is without causing harm.
peace

Not wise.. as the needle/drug might have undesirable side effect...

Might not be true.. don't rely too much on it..
Absence of consciousness is not calm and peaceSalam / Peace

Seconded. I too went through this for a while. Hope everything works out for the better.

absolutely i believe in the power of prayer. it does changes things. studies have shown that. and i have seen that in my practice. having positive attitude and acceptance of the condition helps with immune system which is important in fighting diseases and in healing. people who do the worst especially when physical disability is involved are those with negative attitudes. at the end, nefertiti one must come to acceptance when the condition deteriorates that our stay on this earth is temporary. time for reflection and final preparation to end this life journey and look to the next life.
definitely, keep up with prayers. i have a prayer that i give to patients. when the visitors are gone and you are lying in hospital bed thinking of things can be rough and a lonely feeling. take comfort in God and take care of yourself.

Exactly what studies have proven the power of prayer?
-
Peace FaithfulJinn.
What studies have proven the opposite? ( That prayers do not work?).
Peace.

@goodlogic.
He's the one saying there are clear studies that prayer works. I'm simply requesting them. When one makes a claim such as that, the burden of proof lies on them.
I'm not going around saying prayer does or doesn't work. He made a claim which he said are supported by studies/evidence and I'd like to see these studies if they do exist.
-
Peace FaithfulJinn.
Thanks for clarifying.
My point is, one needs to do a survey. All who take part need to be honest.Otherwise it will be another piece of statistics taken to justify both sides, like a lot of other statistics.
Could a Scientific study take this task? How reliable is it going to be?
The angle I take is I have proof from my Lord that HIS word is truth. HE says " Implore Me and I will respond to you".
I believe sincere prayer works. But that is only my opinion. Others will have to try it.
Peace. -
I've tried it but my prayer hasn't been answered everytime. Sometimes my prayers get answered and sometimes they don't. I don't always request material items or success though and I usually pray for guidance, knowledge, humility, and to be a true muslim.
I feel like more times than not my prayers do get answered but not everytime.
Astonishingly and miraculously I had a prayer answered immediately last night just a few hours after my salat. You should go into my skeptical topic and read the story.
