he does not grow impatient” imply? He said: “That he should say
                       like this: ‘I supplicated and I supplicated but I did not find it being

                       responded’. And then he becomes frustrated and abandons
                       supplication”.

                     3.  Carries out that which is mafiṣiyat (immoral, disobedience,

                         seditious) and what has been declared ḥarām by Allāh.


                              Mafiṣiyat is one of the barriers that obstructs the granting of

                       dufiā√, as in the manner mentioned by Imām Ibnu Rajab in his book,

                       Jāmifiul fiUlūm wa’l Ḥikam, page 198. A poet said: “How can we

                       closed off by sin and mafiṣiyat?”


                              Sin and mafiṣiyat exert a terrible effect upon ‘mankind’,

                       including also the factor of blocking the granting of dufiā√. (Refer
                       to the book,  Ad-Dāfi wa’d-Dawāfi, al Imām Ibnu Qayyim al

                       Jauziyyah).


                     4.   Desist from and cease those obligations that Allāh has made

                         obligatory.


                              In the same manner as working on obedience is a factor in

                       the granting of a dufiā√, so too also the desisting from or the stopping
                       of obligations is a barrier to the granting of  dufiā√. One of the
