Al-Mujīb (The All-Responsive)


Abdullah ibn Mushabbib al-Qahtāni

It gives us great hope to know that Allah Almighty hears our supplications and answers them. This indeed enlivens us

and puts our pains to rest.

Atā’ said:“Tāwūs (may Allah have mercy upon him) came to me and said: ‘O ‘Atā’, do not ever present your needs to those who close their doors in your face. Instead, you should seek their fulfillment from the One Whose door is open to you till the Day of Judgment. He asks you to supplicate Him and promises that He will answer your supplications.’”

{...So seek His forgiveness then turn to Him in repentance, for My Lord is Ever Near, All-Responsive.}

[Surat Hūd: 61]

Our Lord, Exalted be He, is the All-Responsive. He answers the supplications of His servants and grants their requests, and He helps the distressed and gives the fearful security. He even responds to those who disbelieve in Him and have never recognized Him!He responds to their calls and removes harm from them out of His bounty and that perhaps they may believe.Most people, however, forget the favors done to them and show ingratitude. Allah Almighty says:

{When they board a ship, they supplicate Allah, devoting their faith sincerely to Him. But as soon as He rescues them to the land, they associate partners with Him}

[Surat al-‘Ankabūt: 65]
