QUR'ANIC PRAYERS. God Almighty says in the Holy Qur'ān about acceptance of prayers: وَ إِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّى فَإِنِّي قَرِيْبٌ أُجِيْبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ wa idha sa-alaka ‘ibādı ‘anni fa inni qarib ujibu d'awatadda'i idhā daʻan. And when My servants ask thee about Me, say. I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me. (2:187) أَمَّنْ يُجِيْبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ ammañyyujibul mudtarra idha da'ahu wa yakshifussū-'a. Or, Who answers the distressed person when he calls upon Him, and removes the evil. (27:63) 253
