What is the ruling on feeling hypocritical and refraining from supplicating for worldly matters, out of fear of Allah's accountability, and limiting oneself to supplications for the hereafter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty commanded His servants to supplicate, and He promised them a response. He also informed us that His righteous servants ask Him for the good of this world and the hereafter. Supplicating for worldly benefits is not a sign of hypocrisy, for a Muslim supplicates to his Lord for the betterment of his faith, his worldly life, and his afterlife.
