(Questions from Little Sister)
Mr. and Mrs. Farahmand live in Germany. Whenever they see me or call me, they say, “Mahya, you’re grown up now. Pray that God gives us a child here in this foreign country.” I always pray for them. I read the Quran and pray for them as I read. I don’t know why God hasn’t given them a child. Teacher, why doesn’t God give them a child?
God knows what is best for His servants. If He does not answer a prayer, He will surely grant something better, either in this world or in the Hereafter. We should accept His decree and continue to pray. May God, through the blessing of prayer, grant our wishes in this very world.
God knows what we do not. In His mercy, He will grant those who remember Him what is best for them. We should submit to His decree and be content with it. If, despite our wishes, He withholds something from us, He will surely grant us something better, whether in this life or the next. Keep praying; perhaps, through your prayers, God in His mercy will fulfil their needs in this very life.
