Can a Person Negotiate or Barter while Making Du’aas? – Dr Zakir Naik
EPI_12_09
Yusuf Chambers: Is it permitted in supplication to negotiate with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, the question is. He goes on to say for example ask Allah to grant me something or forgive me and take something else away from me instead like my health for instances.
Dr. Zakir: When we supplicate to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala we have to remember that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala’s mercy is beyond limits. His mercy, His grace we cannot limit the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, we cannot limit His grace neither can we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala to hasten the punishment or you know that you give me this good thing and take this away as though we are negotiating. We should realize that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala is the most bountiful and most merciful and
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Ghaafir ch. no. 40 verse no. 60
“You ask me and I will answer your prayers”
Allah further says in Surah Nisa ch. 4 verse no. 147 that
“What will Allah gain by your punishment, if you believe and if you are grateful”
that means it’s not worth negotiating with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
What you want you can ask Him you cannot barter with Him because He is so merciful. In fact it will be our loss if we do that and that reminds me of
Sahih Muslim Vol. 4 Book of Dhikr Hadith no. 6501 that
“Once Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), he goes to one of the Muslims who is sick and he goes to see and the person is very sick and the Hadith says as feeble as a chicken. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) asks him that did you ask for something or did you beg Allah for something. So the person says yes I prayed to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala that to hasten my punishment what I am going to get in Aakhira let me have it in this world and then Allah’s messenger says that you don’t have the forbearance to bear the punishment of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. In fact you should have asked
‘Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil ‘akhirati hasanatan waqina ‘adhaban-nar’
That’s what I quoted earlier that
“O Lord give us the good in this world and the hereafter and save us from the torment of hellfire”
Surah Baqarah ch. no 2 verse no. 201
And after Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) prayed for him then that Muslim became alright”
So we should always realize that the bounty of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala is beyond limits. So whatever may be our sin, whatever may be the sin we have committed, we can always seek Allah’s forgiveness and He is most oft forgiving and Most Merciful.
