The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is better: the supplication of worship or the supplication of asking?
The Shaykh:
All of them; you need both worship and asking. Yes.
The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding Luqman?
The Shaykh:
And the supplication of worship is a means to the supplication of asking; you seek nearness to Allah through His names and attributes first, then you ask for your need. Yes.
