The Merits of Invocations
Ramadhan is very special moment not only for people who observe fasting, but also for those who call
Allah with invocations. Fasting and invocation are closely related each other. You will find the verse in the
Quran addressing invocation between two verses addressing fasting (see al Baqarah[2]:186). In addition,
Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet (May peace of Allah upon him) said, “There are three groups of
people whose invocations will not be rejected (by Lord): the just leader (imam), someone observing fasting
when he breaks his fasting, and the invocation of someone who is oppressed” (At Turmudhi)

Syaikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim al Hamd mentions some of merits of invocation


1. Invocation is an Allah’s ordain. Thus, invocation is a kind of worship.
“And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for
anything) I will respond to your (invocation)” (Ghafir[40]:60)

2. It can prevent Allah’s anger


Prophet Muhammad (peace of Allah upon him) said, “He who does not supplicate Allah incurs His anger”
(Al-Bukhari)

3. Invocation will help you become relieved.


It is because by invoking Allah, you put your trust on Him. You will not worry anymore.

4. You will certainly get benefit from your invocation


Allah will answer your invocation in one of three ways:
a. Allah will give what you request
b. Allah will prevent you from a badness
c. Allah will give it in Hereafter

However, note that your invocation will be beneficial only if you do not ask something sinful or for breaking
ties of kinship. The Prophet (May peace of Allah upon him) said, “If someone invokes (Allah) with an
invocation, Allah will certainly give him what he requests or prevent him from a badness unless he invokes
for something sinful or for the severance of ties of kinship“(Ahmad and At Turmudhi). The Prophet also said,
"The supplication of any servant of Allah continues to be answered, unless he or she prays for something
sinful or for the severance of ties of kinship and unless he or she is hasty." A question was asked: "How can
one be hasty?" The Prophet answered, "He or she [the supplicant] says, 'I have prayed often, but I have not
seen my prayers answered. He or she then feels aggrieved and stops his or her supplication." (Muslim)
