I am not a believer in prayer, but I believe in Brahman.
A friend of mine got disenchanted from Hinduism and converted to Islam. It shattered me, my friend has died and I am sad.
I am still trying to find the reason for the conversion.
The person said that they were bot convinced that Hindu Prayer is strong enough for them, and Muslim prayers are working for them.
I do not know Muslim prayers nor am I interested in knowing.
The business end of God is not the past’s effect on the present, but the present’s effect on the future. Can you appeal to God to intervene in the workings of the world? If you pray just right, or behave just right, or come from the right tribe does the almighty, Yahweh, Allah, God, the higher power, or spirit put His thumb on the scales tipping the balance your way?
In other words is there divine intervention?
A mother prays that her daughter’s cancer would vanish, a Muslim prays that the infidel is vanquished, you pray that you get that promotion, a father prays for a source of income so his kids don’t starve. A tribe prays that the genocide against them ends. An evangelical prays for money to buy a new car.However big or small, worthy or unworthy the cause, does prayer ever work?
