This work offers a groundbreaking exploration of how God responds to human prayer within an Islamic framework. It develops a fresh philosophical and theological model of petitionary prayer that rethinks divine action, time, and personhood.
Drawing on classical Islamic sources, analytical philosophy, and comparative theology, the book addresses longstanding questions about how God sustains, guides, and interacts with the world. It examines petitionary prayer in depth, clarifying its definition, its moral and metaphysical challenges, and its relationship to divine attributes such as immutability, mercy, and temporality.
The study critically evaluates traditional assumptions, engages Christian thought where it provides conceptual insight, and analyses how different theories of time shape our understanding of God’s responsiveness. These discussions culminate in the Dynamic Relational Model (DRM).
