Once Ibrahim bin Adham, a famous scholar and ascetic piety, past the crowded market. After a few seconds he was surrounded by many people who want to ask for advice. One of them asked, "O Master! God has promised in His book that He would grant the prayer of His servants. We have been praying every day, day and night, but why until now our prayers are not answered? "
Ibrahim bin Adham paused and said, "Ladies and gentlemen. There are ten things that cause your prayers are not answered by Allah.First, you get to know God, but did not fulfill his rights.Second, you read the Koran, but you do not want to practice it.Third, you admit that the devil is very real enemy, but with love hearts and follow his orders.Fourth, you claim to love the Prophet, but you like to leave teaching and Sunnah.Fifth, do you really want heaven, but you never do a deed of Paradise.Sixth, you're scared to go into hell, but you happily busy with deeds expert hell.Seventh, you are claiming that death will come, but never getting provisions to deal with it.Eighth, you busy looking disgrace of others and forget about your own flaws and shortcomings.Ninth, every day you take the providence of God, but you forget to be grateful for His blessings.Tenth, you often take the corpse to the grave, but never realize that you will experience the same thing. "
After listening to that advice, people were crying.
On another occasion he appeared depressed and cried, but there was not any. Someone asked him. He said, "I see my grave will soon occupy very terrible, but I did not get the antidote. I see a journey in the afterlife so far, while I have not got any supplies. And I see God judges all beings in the hereafter, while I do not have strong reasons to account for the deeds of my life. "
