Supplication for Something to Come True
If you want to supplicate to Allah for something to come true, there are conditions and moments to observe.
Supplicating to Allah for something to come true is a branch of belief in Allah because it proves that one is aware that nothing happens without Allah’s will.
The answered supplication is something that has always been sought by the prophets.
Supplication is a form of dialogue between the believer and their Lord.
Allah says in the Quran:
“And your Lord says, ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.'” (Surah Ghafir, 40:60)
The conditions for an answered supplication (According to Sa'd ibn Wahf Al-Qahtani, the author of "The Fortress of the Muslim"):
These conditions and good manners are the best for something to come true.
1.Sincerity: Only make supplications to Allah, seeking His pleasure and hoping for a response from Him alone.
2. Glorification: Make supplications to Allah alone, seeking His pleasure and hoping for a response from Him alone. Your supplications should be solely for Allah, seeking His pleasure and hoping for a response from Him alone.
3. Presence of the heart: Do not be distracted during supplication and maintain extreme concentration. Lips should not be the only moving part during supplication; the heart should also be involved.
4. In ease and adversity: A common mistake is to supplicate to Allah only in times of adversity. It is essential to supplicate to Him when all is well because we are always in need of Allah.
5. Gratitude: Acknowledge your sins and repent for them, as well as recognize Allah’s blessings and express gratitude.
6. Repetition: The Sunnah of our Prophet during supplication was to repeat the request three times.
7. Certainty: Make supplications with the certainty of being answered.
8. Raising the hands: Raising your hands with the palms facing the sky is a highly recommended Sunnah during supplication.
9. Repentance: Rectify the injustices you have committed, repent for your wrongdoings and sins in general.
10. Lawfulness: What you wear and what you eat must be lawful.
11. Drawing closer to Allah: Invoke Allah by His names and attributes, and acknowledge His greatness and blessings.
12. Start with oneself: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to begin with himself when making a supplication for someone else.
13. State of purity and facing the Qibla: Being in a state of purity (wudu) during supplication and facing the Qibla are not obligatory but rather recommended.
