What is the ruling on widely circulated supplications such as: "O Allah, I have entrusted my affairs to You, for You are my best Disposer of affairs. So manage my affairs, for I am not good at management," and "O Allah, make my mother and father among those to whom the Fire says: 'Pass through, for your light has extinguished my fire,' and to whom Paradise says: 'Come forth, for I have longed for you before I saw you'," and the saying "I entrust you to Allah, with Whom deposits are not lost," for the protection of children? And what is the appropriate time to say "Allah suffices for us; Allah will give us of His bounty, and to Allah do we eagerly turn"? Is it permissible to adopt "You do not know; perhaps Allah may bring about after that a new matter" as a constant supplication, recited a specific number of times or at a specific time? And which is better in supplication: to say "and cause me to die upon faith" or "and cause me to die upon Islam" in the supplication "O Allah, make me live upon Islam, and cause me to die upon faith, and do not take me except when You are pleased with me"?

This response reviews common supplications (du'as), clarifying that there is no objection to supplicating with: "O Allah, I have entrusted my affair to You, for You are my best Disposer of affairs. Manage my affairs for I am not skilled in management," and "O Allah, grant me the dutifulness to my parents in secret and in public, and make the door of Paradise open for me through their satisfaction with me, and keep from me that which angers them with me," and "I entrust you to Allah, with whom deposits are never lost," and "O Allah, make me live upon Islam and die upon faith, and do not take me except when You are pleased with me."

The response cautions against the authenticity of the supplication: "O Allah, make my mother and father among those to whom the Fire says, 'Pass through, for your light has extinguished my fire,' and to whom Paradise says, 'Come forward, for I have longed for you before seeing you,'" because its meaning pertains to the unseen and has not been reported in an authentic hadith. Moreover, the longing of Paradise has not been reported regarding every believer.

The response clarifies that the Almighty's saying: ﴿And if only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger. Indeed, to Allah we are supplicants,"﴾ (Surah At-Tawbah/59), and His saying: ﴿You know not; perhaps Allah will bring about thereafter some new affair.﴾ (Surah At-Talaq/1) are not supplications. Rather, they are verses that inform about a reality or are used to herald relief.

The response concludes by emphasizing the importance of disseminating the supplications established in the two revelations (Quran and Sunnah), and warning against invented supplications that may distract from following the Prophetic Sunnah.
