Answer:
Supplications during
one’s nikaah are accepted
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Respected sister in Islam, to the best of our knowledge
there is no such specific statement in either the Glorious Quran or the
authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) which
declares that the supplications made by a believing woman just before her
‘nikaah’ or her child-birth are never rejected….and Allah Alone Knows Best.
The Truth sister is that
each and every lawful supplication that a believer makes unto their Lord, is
heard and answered by The Lord Most Gracious; for He is indeed The All Hearing,
All Knowing.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2
Surah Baqarah verse 186:
And if
My servants ask you, O Prophet,
concerning Me, tell them that I am quite
near to them. I hear and answer the
prayer of the suppliant, when he calls
on Me. So let them respond to My call
and believe in Me. (Convey this to
them), perhaps they may be guided
aright!
The All Knowing, All
Wise Allah knows what is good and what is bad for us; therefore, if one asks for something
good, Allah will give him/her one of
three things:
1. Allah
will give the believer what he/she has supplicated for.
2. If
what the believer is asking is not good or harmful for the believer in this
world, Allah will store it for him for the world of the Hereafter.
3. If
what the believer is asking is not good or harmful for the believer in this world, Allah will turn away from the believer an
equivalent amount of evil.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2257 Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
The Prophet (saws) said, "Any Muslim who makes a supplication
containing nothing which is sinful, or which involves breaking ties of
relationship, will be given for it by
Allah one of three things: He will give him swift answer, or store it up for
him in the next world, or turn away from him an equivalent amount of
evil." Those who heard it said they
would then make many supplications and he (saws) replied that Allah was more
ready to answer than they were to ask.
Nu'man b. Bashir reported that the Prophet
(saws), said, "Verily supplication is worship."
Narrated by Ahmad and Sunan.
Abu Hurairah reported, "The Prophet
(saws) said, "Nothing is more dear to Allah than one's supplication to
Him.''
Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
Salman reported that the Prophet (saws),
said, "Your Lord, the Blessed and the Exalted One, is Modest and Generous,
and He loathes to turn away His servant empty-handed when he raises his hands
to Him in supplication."
Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
