HOW CAN I ASK ALLÃH? |ASKING ALLĀH WITH LOVE AND TRUST

In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) .

If you are in need, ask from Him; if He gives, then it is good —otherwise you must accept it and know that He did not withhold out of miserliness (bukhl), but out of concern in looking out for your best interest.

Do not stop asking Him because it is a form of worship; and when you persist in asking, He will instill within you love (mahabbah) for Him and a true dependence (sidq al-tawakkul) on Him. This love will guide you towards the purpose and will yield its fruits; leading you to live the life of people of truth.

*LNo other life is better as most people stumble around their lives, hiding worldly reasons and inclining towards them with their hearts. They exhaust themselves in earning a living with extreme caution, incline towards people and are dismayed upon missing any desires.

His Decree will come to pass unconcerned with one's dissatisfaction, for nothing happens therein except what is fated.

These people missed being near to Allāh, loving Him and displaying noble etiquette with Him; such a life is the life of animals.
