Dream - Prayer offered by everyone, surely their hope is to be granted by Allah SWT. In fact, there are many people who pray very specifically to Allah SWT. However, Islam prohibits its followers from being excessive and exceeding limits. This includes when praying. In the activity of praying, which is a form of worship to Allah SWT, it is important to observe its etiquettes. This is a form of ethics and respect to the Creator.
The following is the explanation why excessive prayer is not allowed as summarized by Dream through various sources.
In praying, we are prohibited from being excessive because it can be a form of arrogance and greed for the blessings bestowed by Allah.
"Excessive prayer can also indicate a lack of gratitude for what has been given by Him. Prayer should be done sincerely and sincerely, not for the purpose of showing one's own greatness. Examples of going beyond the limits in prayer are when someone continuously asks for worldly things such as wealth, power, or other worldly desires without including prayers for the goodness of the world and the hereafter."
This indicates that the person only thinks about themselves and does not pay attention to the interests of others. Imam As-Sa'di explained that Allah loves His servant who is polite in prayer, without exaggeration or exceeding limits. This is also emphasized by Nasihah Nashrullah that in prayer, one must understand the limits of etiquette and courtesy.
Imam As-Sa'di emphasized that excessive and excessive prayers can indicate injustice and arrogance, which are attitudes disliked by Allah. Therefore, it is very important to understand the etiquette in praying and not to exceed the limits that have been determined. Etiquette in prayer also requires us to ask with gratitude, patience, and sincerity.
The correct way to pray is to do it with full awareness of the greatness of Allah and to ask with contentment for what He has given. Therefore, excessive praying is not recommended as it shows an inappropriate attitude as a servant who submits to the will and grace of Allah.
Praying is an important worship in Islam, but there are things that are prohibited in praying according to the guidance of the Quran and hadith.
One of the etiquettes in prayer is to maintain the purity of the heart and mind while praying, and to pay attention to the recommended times for prayer. In the Quran, Allah SWT says in Surah Al-A'raf verse 55: "Pray to your Lord with humility and in a soft voice. Indeed, Allah SWT does not like those who exceed limits." This shows that in prayer, a Muslim is expected to keep the secrecy while praying.
In addition, there are several prohibitions in praying according to hadith, such as neglecting the recommended times for praying, praying for something forbidden, and feeling arrogant in praying. By understanding the etiquette in praying and things that should be avoided, Muslims are expected to perform the activity of praying with sincerity and submission to Allah SWT.
To understand how to apply the etiquette of prayer to be granted by Allah SWT, the first step is to pay attention to the best time to pray.
The best times to pray include when breaking the fast, when it is raining, and also when approaching the end of prayer. In addition, make sure to observe the manners and etiquette of praying according to Islamic teachings. Pray with a focused and confident heart, using the good names of Allah SWT, expressing gratitude in prayer, asking with hope and expectation from Allah SWT, improving behavior and increasing worship, and being patient and trusting in Allah.
By applying this prayer etiquette, we are expected to be closer to Allah SWT and our prayers will be granted. The attitude of surrender and consistency in praying is also the key to the fulfillment of prayers. By understanding and applying these prayer etiquettes, we can obtain blessings and help from Allah SWT according to our expectations.
"To understand Allah's SWT decree in granting prayers, first and foremost it is necessary to understand that prayer is a means to communicate with Allah."
"Allah SWT in the Al-Qur'an provides guidance on how to express prayers, such as with sincerity, patience, and conviction. In addition, the Al-Qur'an also teaches that Allah SWT has wisdom in granting prayers according to His wise will. The way to understand Allah's decree in answering prayers is to understand that Allah SWT has a plan and wisdom that is greater than what we ask for in prayer."
"When prayers have not been answered, it does not mean that Allah does not hear or ignore those prayers. But perhaps Allah is testing, protecting from something unknown, or giving something better at the right time. In this case, it is very important to continue strengthening the relationship with Allah through prayers, worship, and deepening understanding of the Qur'an."
With this, we can understand that Allah's decree in granting prayers is always based on His love, justice, and wisdom.
