What is wrong with us that we supplicate and we receive no answer?

*Salaamun 'alaykum wa rahmat-ul-lahi wa barakātuh* 

_In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) ._

It was said to Ibrahim Ibn Adham رحمه الله,

```“What is wrong with us that we supplicate and we receive no answer?”```

🎙️Ibrahim said, 

```“It is because you know Allah and you do not obey him, and 

you know the Messenger and you do not follow his Sunnah, 

and you know the Qur`an and you do not act according to it,

 and you eat from the blessings of Allah and you are not thankful for it,

 and you know Paradise and you do not seek it,

 and you know Hellfire and you do not flee from it, 

and you know Iblis and you do not fight him but rather you agree with him,

 and you know death and you do not prepare for it, 

and you bury the dead and you do not learn from it, 

and you ignore your own faults and you are concerned with the faults of others.”```

*May Allaah accept our ibaadat and forgive our shortcomings.*
