The ruling on limiting Allah the Mighty and Majestic in supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It may be difficult for a person to obtain something because of its difficulty for him. Is it permissible for him not to ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic for it, but rather to ask Him for what he can attain through causes, asking Him the Exalted to grant him success in performing those causes?
Answer:
O brothers, do not impose such difficulties on yourselves. Ask Allah for everything you need, and do not limit Allah the Mighty and Majestic by specifying things for Him. Allah is capable of everything, and He is Rich, Generous, and Bountiful. So do not limit Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Ask Allah for everything you need, everything you require that is befitting you, what you need, and what you require. Yes.
