Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am careful to fulfill the obligatory duties and to avoid major sins, praise be to Allah. But, Honorable Shaykh, worries and sorrows have befallen me regarding my livelihood. I spend the night in much seeking of forgiveness and much supplication. Is this, Honorable Shaykh, a sign of hypocrisy and of evil? I ask you to guide me and advise me in this matter?
Answer:
This is a good thing, this is a good thing, and perhaps Allah will open a door of provision for you because of it. If you supplicate to Allah, pray, and supplicate through your prayer by standing in night prayer, then this is a good thing. This is among the greatest means for seeking provision.
