Prayer is within the course of destiny

Prayer directs us straight to what already exists in our destinies. It is Allah Who determines our destiny and causes us to pray. Imam Rabbani says this on the subject:

Wishing for something means obtaining it; since Allah would not make His servant pray for something He would not accept. Imam Rabbani Prayer is one of Muslims’ most important religious observances. The believer who prays is aware of his helplessness before Allah and has a constantly submissive state of mind. He wishes that in return for his prayers he could be a Allah fearing valued servant in the sight of Allah. In one verse Allah reveals:


     “Say: ‘What has My Lord to do with you if you do not call on Him?...” (Surat al-Furqan, 77)
