Do we underestimate the power of prayer? Imam Al-Shafi'i's timeless verses challenge us to pause and reflect:
أَتَهزَأُ بِالدُعاءِ وَتَزدَريهِ
وَما تَدري بِما صَنَعَ الدُّعاءُ
سِهامُ اللَيلِ لا تُخطِي وَلَكِن
لَها أَمَدٌ وَلِلأَمَدِ اِنقِضاءُ
"Do you mock prayer and belittle it,
Unaware of what prayer can achieve?
The arrows of the night never miss their mark,
Yet every arrow has its appointed time and end."
These lines remind us of the silent strength of supplication, a power so profound that it works beyond the veil of time and space. They echo the eternal promise in the Quran:
"ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ"
"Call upon Me; I will respond to you." (Surah Ghafir: 60)
Prayer is not merely words-it is a divine dialogue, a tool for transformation, and a means to invoke the mercy of the One who controls all affairs. Its effects may seem delayed, but they are never denied.
In our fast-paced world, where doubt and despair often overshadow faith, this message is a powerful reminder of patience and reliance upon Allah.
