95 Another reason as to why we are encouraged to write to Huzoor is to increase the acceptance of our prayers. Since Huzoor is someone who is loved by Allah and is close to Him, our belief is that Allah listens and accepts his prayers. The Promised Messiah as has stated: At times it is as if the prayer is not being accepted; there is one thing that can be done on such occasions. One should ask some very pious person to pray and then he himself should pray to God that He may hear the prayer of that pious person. It has been observed quite often that the prayer has been accepted in this way. I have experienced it myself and it has been happening in the case of many people before me, as well. 57 Since the Khalifatul Masih is the head of our community and our spiritual father, we write to him to seek his guidance and prayers. Being able to write to Huzoor directly and have him guide us through difficult matters, even private ones, is actually quite a great privilege! The letters that members write are very dear to Huzoor and he prays for each and every person with whole hearted and earnest dedication.
