• Supplication  is a request or demand for something with what we wished for or sought refuge in Allah Almighty to avert any disaster. 

Page 8: Why Supplications are Veiled - islamiccentre.utm.myislamiccentre.utm.my/.../01/Khutbah-27-February-2015-translation.pdf•My brothers in Islam, •Supplication has a lot of advantages

• Allah Almighty has ordered His servants to always pray and ask from Him, as the word of Allah in Surah Ghafir ayah 60 reads at the beginning of the sermon, which means:

Page 9: Why Supplications are Veiled - islamiccentre.utm.myislamiccentre.utm.my/.../01/Khutbah-27-February-2015-translation.pdf•My brothers in Islam, •Supplication has a lot of advantages

• And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible. 

Page 10: Why Supplications are Veiled - islamiccentre.utm.myislamiccentre.utm.my/.../01/Khutbah-27-February-2015-translation.pdf•My brothers in Islam, •Supplication has a lot of advantages

• My brothers in Islam,• Supplication has a lot of advantages. By constantly praying it proves that we are weak creatures, despicable, has no power, and always expect help from Allah SWT.

• By supplicating we can also eliminate feelings of pride, conceit and arrogance because those that are confident for success with just hard work without the need to pray to Allah is a sign of people who are arrogant towards Allah SWT. Allah says in Surah Ghafir 60:

Page 13: Why Supplications are Veiled - islamiccentre.utm.myislamiccentre.utm.my/.../01/Khutbah-27-February-2015-translation.pdf•My brothers in Islam, •Supplication has a lot of advantages
