How Can A Wishes That A Person Begs From Allah Be Wrong?
Nadeem Sahab, the verses quoted by you have two dimensions to be looked at: 1 ) They’re describing the attitude required of a true believer, always being thankful to Allah and always looking upto Him for help. And in the face of difficulty, if they persevere ( as mentioned in 2:153 ) and show complete faith, they will be rewarded ( either in this world or in the hereafter ). The requirement of perseverance points toward this life being created on the principle of tests and trials. 2 ) The reward is never promised to be given in this world ( it could be, but not promised ) with only one exception, where reward will be given in this world for the perseverance and faith shown by the Muslims i.e. the Almighty has promised the progeny of Abraham that if they adhere to the truth, they will lead all nations of the world and if they deviate from it, they will be deposed from this position and will have to face the punishment of humiliation and subjugation. It is this very promise of the Almighty which is specifically mentioned for the Israelites in the following verse: وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُواْ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ لأكَلُواْ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِم مِّنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُّقْتَصِدَةٌ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ سَاء مَا يَعْمَلُونَ (٦٦:٥) If they adhered to the Torah and the Gospel and that what has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would have received the sustenance [of their Lord] from above them and from beneath their feet. [No doubt], there is one group among them who are righteous but those whose deeds are evil abound . (5:66) The last verse quoted by you i.e. 14:7 relates to the same promise that was made to Bani-Israel. The point being that scheme of tests and trials take precedence over our prayers, this doesn’t mean they will not be accepted, rather, they may or maynot be accepted in this world otherwise it would render the whole scheme of tests and trials redundant. Therefore, what is required of us is perseverance and complete faith in Allah, with ultimate reward waiting for us on the day of judegement. Allah does listen to all our prayers, and sooner or later they will all be fulfilled. It is just their timing of fulfilment that has been left to absolute Izn of Allah based on his wisdom.
