Pearl of Wisdom

'Verily the archangel Gabriel blew into my mind that no soul shall pass away before the depletion of his sustenance in this world, so be wary of your duty to Allah and seek your livelihood through decent means, and let not a delay in your provision cause any of you to seek it through unlawful means, for verily what is with Allah is only acquired through His obedience.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 74, no. 2, and Kanz al- 'Ummdl nos. 9290,9310,9311,9312,9314,9316

789	Acceptance of Prayers	As Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmutullah Wa Barakatu, I have been a Muslim for two years now and I have a hard time with the rules concerning foods. I recently had some Turkey Ham and did not research the company to see if it was halal. I was just told that if you consume haram meats that your prayers/supplications will not be answered for 40 days. I thought that only applied to alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc. If I knew that my prayers/supplications wouldn't be answered for 40 days I would have definitely reconsidered eating that meat. My questions are: 1. Do I fall into the category of Ignorant? 2. Were my prayers/supplications not accepted? 3. Do I need to make up my prayers for the 40 days? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Jazakallah Khair	Answered
