Is it permissible to supplicate with the words: "O Allah, we entrust our seats in Paradise to Your care, so make them seats of truth in the presence of an Omnipotent Sovereign, in the highest levels of Your Firdaws, O Generous One, O Most Bountiful. O Allah, we entrust our gathering place to Your care, so make it under the shade of Your Throne, on a Day when there is no shade but Yours. O Allah, we entrust our scale to Your care, so make it heavy with whatever You will. O Allah, we entrust our entry into Paradise to Your care, so make it by Your generosity and grace, not by our deeds. O Most Merciful of those who show mercy, without reckoning or prior punishment"?
The legitimacy of supplicating with "O Allah, make my seat in Paradise a trust with You" is not recognized. A trust (wadi'ah) is something kept with another party, and this weak supplication suggests that the supplicant has guaranteed a place in Paradise with Allah. It is known that every person has a seat in Paradise and a seat in Hellfire, and one does not know which they will ultimately end up in, as stated in the Bukhari : "There is none among you but has had his place written in Paradise and his place in the Hellfire." It is better for a person to stick to the supplications narrated in the Quran and , for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, "preferred comprehensive supplications and abandoned what was other than that."
