Allah Loves That We Ask Him for Our Worldly Needs
Question
Question Can you provide the reference for this statement? “Allah loves that His Servant asks for all their religious and worldly needs, like their food, drink, clothing, etc., just as they ask Him for His Guidance and Mercy.”- Ibn Rajab
Answer
Hafiz ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) has written this in his book Jami’ul ‘Ulumi wal Hikam, under the commentary of the lengthy Hadith Qudsi wherein Allah addresses us. He writes, “This Hadith indicates that Allah loves that we ask Him for our religious needs as well as our worldly needs, such as food, drink, clothing, etc., just as we ask Him for guidance and forgiveness.” (Jami’ul ‘Ulumi wal Hikam, vol. 1, pg. 441) See the Hadith Qudsi here And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
