Does persistent pleading in supplication for a specific worldly matter diminish a servant's status and place him in the rank of one who has emigrated to the world? Or is it considered among his good deeds?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Shari'ah encourages supplication for the good of this world and the Hereafter, as Allah Almighty says: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you," and as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Let one of you ask his Lord for all his needs, even for the shoelace of his sandal if it breaks." Supplication is an act of worship for which a Muslim is rewarded and which increases his closeness to Allah. There is no harm in a Muslim asking his Lord to grant him success in marrying a specific woman.
