The Du’ās of the sorrowful are answered
Dear Islamic brothers! Obviously the one who lives in severe poverty will be sorrowful and grief-stricken. The Du’ā made by the sorrowful is accepted, as is mentioned on page 218 of the 318-page book named Faḍāil-e-Du’ā (published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami): The first category of the people whose supplications are accepted is ‘the sorrowful’. In his footnote on this, A’lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states, ‘Regarding this (the acceptance of Du’ās of the sorrowful and the grieved), it is stated in the Holy Quran:
اَ مَّنۡ یُّجِیۡبُ ا لۡمُضۡطَرَّ اِذَا دَ عَاہُ وَ یَکۡشِفُ السُّوۡٓءَ
Or He Who answers the prayer of the helpless when he calls upon Him and removes the evil.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 20, Sūraĥ An-Naml, verse 62)

I asked him, ‘If a woman has been divorced by a man, can she be Ḥalāl for his son?’ He replied, ‘No’. I then said, ‘Amīr-ul-Mu`minīn Maulā ‘Alī (کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم), whose descendant you are, once wiped his hand over his blessed face in a state of solitude, and said, ‘O world! Deceive someone else; I have given you such a divorce from which there is no
