Is it permissible to supplicate with: "Oh Allah, build for me a palace with You in Paradise, and a palace in this life very soon, for indeed You are the Provider"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah Almighty commanded supplication in the Holy Quran, and this includes asking for needs of both this world and the hereafter. Allah also loves for His servants to ask Him for all their religious and worldly interests, even the simplest matters like salt for dough or fodder for a sheep. Therefore, there is no harm in supplicating to Allah Almighty to grant you a palace in this world and the hereafter. However, it is better for the believer not to be eager for the fleeting enjoyments of this world, and to let his concern be the blessings of the hereafter. If he asks for something of this world, it should be restricted to beneficial blessings that do not make him arrogant or cause him to forget the rights of the hereafter. It is disliked to transgress in supplication by mentioning excessive details. Your intention in supplication should be that Allah decrees goodness for you wherever it may be, and that He grants you contentment with what He has decreed for you.
