To beg and supplicate before God Almighty is to take on a death. Everyone who begs from God, surely receives from Him, but man himself entertains thoughts that God will not help, and hence receives nothing.

He nev- er lets perish those who supplicate. Continue to be engaged in supplication and do not be dismayed that sin gets committed under the impulse of carnal desires. God is the Master of all. If He wishes, He can even order the angels not to record your sins. Look! Punishment does not converge with supplica- tion, but supplication is not just from the tongue, rather supplication is that the one who begs meets a death; therefore, one has to accept death before proceeding to beg. ’ ( Badr, vol. 6, nos. 1, 2, p. 17, dated 10 January 1907) 2. Allah loves those who turn to Him ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:223). [Publisher] 3. Al- H akam, vol. 11, no. 2, p. 3–11, dated 17 January 1907
