Page 137 - In The Name Of Allah, The All-Merciful And Most Merciful

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

It Is a Great Generosity of Allah to

Believers That He Answers Their Prayers

Prayer is a great manifestation of the name All Merciful
and Most Merciful and a huge generosity to believers, for it al-

lows believers to tell Allah of their sincere faith and love, as
well as the fear and respect they have for Him. By praying be-
lievers can show their submission to Allah, their only friend
and advocate, ask for and expect help from Him alone. In so-
cieties that do not practice the religion’s morality, praying to
Allah has been complicated by various myths and supersti-
tions. Although people always want to approach Allah, they

have set certain times and means for this. Allah warns people
about these superstitions:
Indeed, is the true religion not Allah’s alone? People who
take protectors besides Him (say): “We only worship
them so that they may bring us nearer to Allah.” Allah
will judge between them regarding the things about
which they differed. Allah does not guide anyone who is
an ungrateful liar. (Surat az-Zumar, 3)

Those who say that there are various ways to pray make
religion appear difficult and divert people from the straight
path. But the Qur’an tells us that Allah is always very close:
“We created humanity and We know what his [or her] own
self whispers to him [or her]. We are nearer to him [or her]
than his [or her] jugular vein” (Surat al-Qaf, 16). That is, a

person may approach Allah at any time and pray for assis-
tance, for His endless mercy answers sincere prayers. People
