Taken from Khushoo fis-Salaat (p.62) of Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali - rahimahullaah Ibraheem ibn Adham, may Allaah have Mercy upon him, was a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyaan ath-Thawree, and he was asked about the saying of Allaah - The Most High: “And your Lord says: ‘Call on Me, I will answer your prayer…’” [Soorah Ghaafir, 40:60] “We supplicate and we are not answered.” So he said to them: *You know Allah, Yet you do not obey Him, *You recite the Qur’aan, Yet you do not act according to it, *You know Shaitaan, Yet you have agreed with him, *You proclaim that you love the Messenger of Allah, Yet you abandon his Sunnah, *You proclaim your love for Paradise, Yet you do not act to gain it, *You proclaim your fear for the Fire, Yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins, *You say: “Indeed death is true”, Yet you have not prepared for it, *You busy yourselves with finding faults with others, Yet you do not look at your own faults, *You eat that which Allah has provided for you, Yet you do not thank Him, *You bury your dead, Yet you do not take a lesson from it..”
