Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for one who supplicates to Allah to say, “O My Beloved, grant me provision,” or “O My Beloved, love me,” or the like?
The Shaykh:
One who supplicates to Allah.
The questioner:
We supplicate to Allah. Yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, one may say to Allah, “O My Beloved,” because the believer loves Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He loves them and they love Him[Al-Ma'idah 5:54] So there is no harm in that. Yes, this is seeking nearness to Allah through one’s love for Him; seeking nearness to Allah through one’s love for Allah, because loving Allah is worship and a righteous deed. It is permissible to seek nearness to Allah through righteous deeds. Yes.
