This kind of misappropriation is treated with severity in the Qur`an and ahadith[^3]. If one were to make such an opportunistic use of supplication, his prayers may be answered and full health might be restored; however, in the afterlife, he would be severely punished, since despite experiencing divine grace, he turned away from Allah after being cured. On the other hand, one must never lose hope. As Imam Ja’far b.

Muhammad as-Sadiq (ع) has said, “Allah refuses to make things happen except through (their) causes.”[^4] Allah (awj) is the Cause of all causes, however, just as He is the Cause of all causes, He can also destroy all causes as evidenced by the knife that did not cut Isma’il’s (ع) throat or the fire that did not burn Ibrahim (ع)
