The father’s supplication for his children From the supplications that Allah responds to is the prayer of a father for his children because he prays eagerly, loyally, and from the deep of the heart. The Prophet (a.s.) said, “A father’s prayer for his child is like the Prophet’s prayer for his nation.” [1] 3.

One’s prayer for his brother The Prophet said, “The brother’s prayer for his brother secretly shall not be rejected.” [2] 4. The prayer of one who is far away for another who is far away The Prophet (a.s.) said, “The promptest of prayers in being responded to is the prayer of one, who is far away (from his country and home) for one, who is far away (from country and home).” [3] 5. The prayer of an afflicted believer The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Avail the prayer of an afflicted believer.” [4] 6.

The supplication at affection The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Avail the supplication at affection (godliness) because it is a mercy.” [5] 7.

The Muslim’s prayer for his Muslim brother The Prophet (a.s.) said, “The prayer of a Muslim secretly for his brother is responded to. There is an angel at his head entrusted with him that whenever he (the Muslim) prays for his brother in good, the angel says: Amen! And you shall get the same.” [1] 9.

Answered supplications The Prophet (a.s.) said, “There are five supplications that are responded to; the supplication of a wronged one until he is made satisfied, the supplication of a hajji until he comes back home, the supplication of a warrior in the way of Allah until he comes back home, the supplication of a sick one until he recovers, and the supplication of a brother secretly for his brother; and the promptest of these supplications in being answered is the supplication of a brother secretly for his brother.” [2] 10.
