Does the deteriorating health of a patient, despite their persistent supplication, mean that God does not want to answer them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Continue to supplicate and do not stop, and be patient, for Allah is capable of hastening your healing. You will have a great reward for your patience. This affliction may elevate you to stations with Allah that you would not reach through your good deeds alone. A believer oscillates between a blessing that necessitates gratitude and an affliction that necessitates patience, and he is required to fulfill the duty of servitude in all circumstances.
