By Nafiu Busari

Strict adherence to principles of supplication is essential to aid quick response from Allah on certain challenges facing Muslims.

An Ibadan-based cleric, Ustaz Luqman Kharashi, stated this at the Annual Ramadan Lecture of Muslim Media Practitioners of Nigeria ( MMPN), Oyo State, held at the Central Mosque, Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State ( BCOS), Ibadan.

Ustaz Kharashi, who spoke on the topic ” When and How to Supplicate Allah for Quick Response” said it was essential for Muslims seeking answers to prayers to believe in Almighty Allah and make patience their watchword.

He harped on the need for individuals to be thankful to Allah always, adding that those who supplicate Allah during comfort, stand the chance of getting a quick response at a point of need.

While enumerating ways, manners and time to supplicate Allah for quick response, Ustaz Kharashi,
admonished the Muslim faithful to remain focused to God and ensure full concentration.

He said that prayer remained a medium of communication between man and God.

He commended MMPN for organising the annual lecture, saying that it would go a long way to uplift participants spiritually.

” First, be thankful to Allah and believe that Allah accepts prayer. Another thing to note is that we should centre our prayers to Allah alone because Allah deals with man according to his or her faith”

” Patience is also key while praying to God, and this should be done with full concentration”

In his remarks, Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Abdul Rahman Abdul Raheem, expressed concern over the rate at which the youths strive for quick success.
