What are the times when prayers are answered, what is the answered prayer, is it permissible to repeat a prayer more than three times, and is there a mistake in the method of supplication if it is not answered despite using Allah's Greatest Name (Ism al-A'dham)?

The non-responsiveness of supplication may be due to the absence of a condition, the presence of an impediment, or because Allah knows that good lies in not fulfilling the supplicant's request. Allah Almighty says: "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not." And supplication is beneficial in every situation.
