Islamic Scholars agree that destined hardships and difficulties (and also good fortune) “descend” (approaches its destined time) and are met by raising invocations (prayers); they struggle untill the Day of resurrection. If your prayers are weaker than this destined misfortune, then it will find its way to you but its impact may be reduced to various degrees; or good fortune may multiply as it too interacts with your prayers. You will better understand this after reading the section on Destiny,…
