Salam everyone.i hope u had a great Eid. I have a question. We know Allah loves us when we ask from Him, when we beg and cry and just surrender ourselves to Him with the conviction that He will answer our dua.
Now suppose, a person is praying 2 nafal everyday for a hajat. He has bbeen doing this for over 1 year. He knows Allah loves his pleading so he continously prays. The question then comes, why would Allah give up the thing He loves from his servant, and grant him the dua. To explain it in other words, why would Allah grant the dua,knowing the man will stop offering the two units of nafal for hajat once he is granted the dua.
Suppose the man prays five times a day, not regularly etc..and we know we return to Allah mostly when we are faced with a problem. Why would Allah, in this case do a miracle for the person, since Allah knows he has returned to Him after such a long time..???

Although no one lives a perfect life, there are Muslims who are ‘content’ with their life and still make dua and perform their daily prayers. The opposite is also true. There are Muslims who suffer hardships and turn away from the deen.
Dua isn’t just for things we want in the dunya. It should also be for what we want in the akhira which means we should never stop supplications regardless of our situation in this life.

You are now assuming that Allah NEEDS to be worshipped, begged and prayed...Allah does not need anything...not from us, not from anything or anyone. He does not win or lose anything if we stop praying....so there is no such thing as "Allah giving up on us".
You give up something if you hoped for some outcome, but it turned out otherwise so you give it up...Allah knows everything...He doesn't have to hope...so doesn't give up on anything.
He does this out of love.

Do not forget that this world is a test.
We never know why Allah grants us which wishes or otherwise. But we can be sure it is a test.
Are you turning away from Allah once our wishes got granted, or are we ungrateful and forget about Allah?
The outcome of it is used as evidence during our trial in Thehereafter.
A grateful person would never give up on prayers no matter what...because he/she would know that every wish gets granted, either here or in the next life.
The fact that Allah knows beforehand that we will stop praying once our wish got granted does not change the situation at all...because it still is OUR OWN decision to stop praying...our own choice...therefore our consequences.

Salam. I am not assuming.. You are getting me wrong. I am asking why would Allah accept I. I do pray 5 times a day but those 2 units of haha are an extra effort. Getting it? I know Allah doesn't need us, we need them. My question is not about that. It's about God, if he loves an act so much, our begging so much why would he want to let that go?
Also, duas aren't that strong for me. I made dua for my sister to have a healthy baby, throughout ramadan, and the baby died at age of 3days. I prayed for another thing, I got the exact opposite. So iam just confused

You are right brother but I am so hopeless lately I have watched every lecture. I have studied quran several times. Time and again I recite particular duas, I study the stories of the prophets. I do everything. But I keep losing hope.. The prophets were innocent. I am a sinner. We shouldn't be studying them and think that Allah willl bestow the same blessings on us

Why would Allah give up he loves from his servant
simple cause Allah is most gracious and most merciful
One of the names of my lord Allah
AR-RAZZAAQ = provider
When you make a sin then you repent
Allah knows you will sin again but Allah forgives you
suppose a storm is coming and people start praying Allah saves them
Allah knows that people will not pray for that storm once stopped
Even when dont you pray my lord Allah gives you food to eat , air to breathe , water to drink and sleep to energize your body then ability to wake up too
Allah blesses us with countless many things for free
In this world people are the cause of problems majority
When you pray dont think of it as you are doing a favor to Allah
Its benefits you only
Have absolute faith that Allah almighty will help and grant you what you seek
