34                      PRAYER IN THE QUR'AN


             prays for evil just as he prays for good. Man is prone to be im-
             petuous." (Surat al-Isra: 11)
               The reason a person may not receive an answer straight after
             their prayers or may receive an answer in a different form, is a test
             from Allah. Allah may well give those blessings at the end of a cer-
             tain period for a particular purpose, to put His servants' patience to

             test, for instance, or to make them attain a more perfected faith.
