Dream - Praying is a person's way of asking for what they desire. Of course, everyone hopes that their prayers are answered by Allah SWT. Therefore, in the time of the previous prophets, there were ways to ensure that prayers were not rejected. How? Yes, as we know, prayer is the key to everything faced and done by Muslims. Through prayer, a Muslim can endure and find the best solutions.

One of the popular stories of Prophet Moses is when he was chased by Pharaoh and his army. In that situation, Prophet Moses experienced a long and difficult journey. Prophet Moses took shelter under a tree and it was then that he prayed to Allah SWT, which is immortalized in Surah Al-Qasas verse 24: "My Lord, indeed I am in need of whatever good You send down to me."

As it is known, Prophet Ayub was afflicted with a very long illness until he was abandoned by his closest people. In that condition, he could only complain to Allah SWT, as immortalized in Surah Al-Anbiya: أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ Meaning: "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful." (Quran, Al-Anbiya: 83)

When Prophet Yunus was swallowed by a whale, he was alone in the darkness inside the whale's stomach. In that condition, he prayed to Allah SWT, which is immortalized in the Quran. أَنَ لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ. Meaning: "There is no deity except You, O Allah; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers." (QS. Al-Anbiya: 87)

Aside from praying, there are ways to ensure that prayers are not rejected. They show a great need before Allah SWT. They show recognition, namely the power of Allah SWT. Where only Allah SWT has the right to be worshiped and acknowledge that His servants have made mistakes. They show wholeheartedly and humbly because their condition is very dangerous and urgent. They pray in a quiet and alone condition. Where at that time only Allah SWT sees and hears.
