O He Who gives to the one who asks Him

“O He Who gives to the one who asks Him”

God will give to whoever asks Him for something. This is a reality. You should know that [if] a person asks God for something, He will give it to him. If you see that your prayer is not answered, either you have not asked for it in the right way, or there is some expediency preventing it, or there is a major obstacle to it, or it is against the divine traditions in creation. Because the divine traditions in creation do not allow every prayer or every desire to be granted. But if these obstacles do not exist, the Almighty God will grant whatever you ask from Him.
