PERHAPS THIS IS DUE TO MY OWN SINS
When a person asks Allāh for something and does not receive an answer, he must surrender and say, 'Perhaps not answering my prayer is better, perhaps this is because of my sins, and perhaps delaying the response is better.'
And if he is unable to think of a reason for delaying the response to his prayer he must not conceal any displeasure or objection in his heart.
He should believe his prayer was a form of worship, so if Allāh answers his prayer then He has bestowed His bounty upon him. And if not, then the Owner does whatever He pleases.
