al-Mujib Meaning:<\/h2>\n

The Responsive, The Answerer of Prayers, The Hearkener.<\/p>\n

Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is Al-Mujeeb\/Al-Mujib (in Arabic: \u0671\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u062c\u0650\u064a\u0628\u064f) meaning He is the one very close to His believers and readily available to hear and answer the supplications of those who ask. He is the responder to all needs, invitations, and prayers. Whoever needs help in difficulties, they should call upon this name of Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670.<\/p>\n

Mentions of al-Mujib:
\nFrom Quran & Hadith<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Arabic Root:<\/strong>
\nFrom the root jim-waw-ba (\u062c \u0648 \u0628), which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to answer, reply, respond, accept to cut, pierce, penetrate, to have a dialog or conference, to comply with a desire when invited to do so.<\/p>\n

Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is close to you:<\/strong>
\nAl-Mujeeb (The Responder) is mentioned in the Qur’an once and is beautifully paired with Al-Qareeb (The Close One). It’s because Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is near to us, He responds. Nearness does not have to mean in a literal physical sense. For example, if I asked who is closest to you, would you look to your immediate right? No, you would likely respond with your spouse, a parent, a sibling, or a childhood friend. This person is close to you because they know you on a level most don’t. They can be trusted and genuinely care for you and accept you. Similarly, Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is Qareeb (near), and He is Al-Mujeeb (The Responsive).<\/p>\n

And from the hadith, it was narrated by Anas: “The Prophet \ufdfa said, “My Lord says, ‘If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.'” [1]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Addressing the concern of du’a not being responded to:<\/strong>
\nThe Prophets in Islam (may peace be upon them) were regular people like you and me, except we held them to a higher standard as they were impeccable in character. Despite their respected status in Islam, they suffered and endured a lot. Contrast this with when we make du’a, and it’s not immediately fulfilled. We may grow impatient or falsely accept that we’re not on good terms with our creator or that we’re being punished. Yet in the Qur’an, we are told Prophet Nuh (as) made du’as asking for the protection of his wife and son, yet when the tide came, it drowned his family because they were of the deniers (see 11:42-47).<\/p>\n

Prophet Yusuf (as) was an innocent child. Do you think he deserved to be thrown into a well by his own brothers and left to die? Prophet Yaqub (as), the father of Yusuf (as), was deeply hurt by the loss of his child. Don’t you think he prayed to Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 every day, asking for the safe return of his child? Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 tells us “give good tidings to the patient” (Qur’an 2:155). We know Yaqub (as) du’a was answered as he was reunited with his son. However, this was only after decades of so-called “unanswered prayers.”<\/p>\n

Reflection:<\/strong>
\nIn learning the attributes of Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 we come to understand whatever Allah does, He does good. We may see the challenges we’re currently facing as difficult. Still, there is a reward for going through the pain and struggle and remembering Allah through it all. The bigger the hill, the better the reward. And each hill trekked and conquered brings one step closer to Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670. If we recognize this, whatever obstacle is placed on that path, we will find a way to overcome it.<\/p>\n

This is similar to how a farmer must be patient to get his crop. He has to labor away many hours working under the hot, dry sun. He has to care for and nurture his garden to eventually reap the reward of his crops. No one said attaining the goal would be easy. But if we change our definition of what easy means to something you can do, then it’s easy, “Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned.” (Qur’an 2:286). We trust Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 knows what’s best for us as we keep relentlessly marching forward. We turn to Allah, asking for His approval and seeking His guidance, “If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely.” (Qur’an 3:160)<\/p>\n

Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Prophet said: “One of you will be responded to, so long as he is not hasty, saying: ‘I supplicated, and I was not responded to.’ [2]<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Be persistent and do not lose hope. One of the beneficial remedies is persisting in your du’a. Umar Ibn Khattab (ra) said: “I do not concern myself with the response, but I concern myself with making supplication, for I know that the response will come with it!”<\/p>\n

The believer further benefits from knowing Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is Al-Mujeeb. Just as Allah \u0633\u064f\u0628\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0670\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 is responsive to us, we should be responsive to Him. He has asked us to uphold many values, i.e., of kinship, salah, spreading peace, helping the community, and keeping the sawm (fast). The Qur’an tells us (if we’re capable) to respond to the ones who ask for help, “and do not chide the one who asks for help;” (Qur’an 93:10). The Prophet \ufdfa also never denied an invitation of a person who wanted to help Him even if it seemed unappealing or in this case unappetizing, “Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet \ufdfa said, “I shall accept the invitation even if I were invited to a meal of a sheep’s trotter [feet of sheep], and I shall accept the gift even if it was an arm or a trotter of a sheep.” [3]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
