I am a Christian theologian and blogger and really appreciate the tone and message of your blog. I liked this comic, it seems that we struggle with many of the same questions. Peace be with you.

We have to understand that we are not informing God about our needs through dua . . . he is omnipotent. Indeed, he knew we were going to make this dua before he created the universe. Rather it is a form of connection between us and our Creator. To the person who asked about the purpose of supplication.

It helps, but this is still complex. If I am the son of a cat burglar will I be like my parent. Or my father abuses my mother, will I abuse my wife? We have to possess some control, which would have to be from Allah, to make the right choices. Are we making the right choices or is Allah? This is confusing. When when a word is broken, can that also be the fallacy of the promise from the beginning? The person might be a flake so if we are robots then some of us are dysfunctional, not all are created equal? i am rambling... salam alaykum,

You've added a new dimension to the eternal question, "help of Allah which one seeks through supplication". A question that I often bring up with either scholars or during intense religious discussions, "what is the purpose of supplication?" Is it really just to fulfill our needs/desires of better job/more money/better health? Or is it more? And ofcourse if God does intercede, how does he do it at the atomic level of detail? Anyway, all that's for another blog post. Salaam Gazanfer bhai,
