What is the ruling on the following two phrases: "My life was created for me; if I live it as they wish, it becomes their life" and "Oh my God, I beseech You, grant us repentance, by the Prophet I have asked You and the beloved noble ones"?
The servant was created to live as Allah wills, not as he or anyone else wills, in compliance with His saying, the Exalted: "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me," and His saying: "He who created death and life to test you – which of you is best in deed." So, the wise person is one who lives and dies committed to the obedience of Allah, preferring His pleasure over his own desires, to attain a good life in this world and happiness in the Hereafter, as in His saying, the Exalted: "Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do," and His saying: "So as for he who transgressed and preferred the life of the world - then indeed, Hellfire will be his refuge. But as for he who feared the station of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] desire, then indeed, Paradise will be his refuge." The first phrase poses no problem if understood in this context, and the second carries no blame as it is a supplication and a hope for repentance, and the third does not deviate from the meaning of seeking intercession through the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the righteous.
