Is fearing envy—when mentioning blessings to friends—considered weakness of faith, and what if a Muslim forgets his supplications?
Speaking about Allah's blessings is an act of gratitude and an acknowledgment of His grace, as Allah Almighty says: "But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it]." This differs from boasting about them, which implies arrogance towards people. If one fears envy or harm from speaking about a specific blessing, it is better to conceal it and praise Allah for general blessings. It is important to fortify oneself with legitimate supplications (adhkar) such as the Two Protectors (Al-Mu'awwidhatayn) and Ayatul-Kursi. If the morning or evening adhkar are missed, they can be made up upon remembering. If not, the blessing of consistently observing them is sufficient, along with increasing general adhkar and reciting the Quran at any time.
