He is Near:
Do not raise your voice as you supplicate Him, for He is Near, hearing you.
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) heard the Companions supplicating Allah Almighty loudly. He said to them:
“O people, do not trouble yourselves too much. He Whom you are invoking is not deaf or absent. But you are invoking an All-Hearing and All-Seeing (Lord).”
[Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
Allah knows our innermost thoughts and what lies within our hearts and souls.
We supplicate Him within our hearts, and He answers our supplications. He is Near.
{When he called upon his Lord in private}
[Surat Maryam: 3]
We remember Him within ourselves, and He hears us and mentions us. Indeed, He is the Near Lord.
In a Qudsi Hadīth, He said:“If he remembers Me within himself, I remember him within Myself, and if he remembers Me with in a group, I mention him within a better group.”
[Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
Every person does necessarily receive blessings from Allah Almighty, the Near Lord. He removes our distress, saves us from harms and dangers, and helps us obtain what we love and achieve our goals.
The door of our Near Lord is always open, and He continues to give generously. How often He fulfills our needs, accepts our supplications, and sends down His blessings and mercy!
