Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it praiseworthy modesty for a servant to refrain from asking Allah the Exalted for anything from the matters of this world?
Answer:
No, ask Allah for everything, from the matters of your religion and the matters of your worldly life, and everything you need. Ask Allah for everything you need, but do not limit your supplication always to matters of this world. Do not limit your supplication always to matters of this world, but supplicate to Allah for this world and the Hereafter.[Al-Baqarah 2:201] What is forbidden is that you limit yourself to this world only. Among them is [Al-Baqarah 2:200] this is what is forbidden: that you limit your supplications always to this world. But if you supplicate for this world and the Hereafter, that is the characteristic of the righteous. Yes.

Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِis he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.
مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ
