**Why Our Duas R Not Accepted
**
***On being asked, “What is the reason that our prayers are not accepted?”, Ibrahim bin Adham (a walyullah) answered because: ***
***1 - You recognise the Lord, yet you do not follow and obey his commandments ***
***2 - You study the scriptures yet you do not try to do what you are asked to do. ***
***3 - You enjoy the gifts of your Lord, but you do not offer gratitude to him. ***
***4 - You do not act so to avoid hell and enter heaven. ***
***5 - You know the devil is your enemy, yet you do not deal with him as such. ***
***6 - You know death must overtake you, yet you make no preperations for it. ***
***7 - You consign your dead parents to the grave and yet you do not take lessons from the incident. (and feel as if you are immortal) ***
8 - You know you have many faults, yet you try to find faults with others
