Is the current infertility and unemployment a result of the the previous supplication: "O Lord, forgive me, accept my repentance, and do not grant me wealth or children"?
Allah provides for everyone, believers and disbelievers alike. He bestows sons and daughters upon whom He wills, and He forgives and pardons without any cost or conditions. The idea that Allah deprives a servant of sustenance or children in exchange for forgiveness or pardon is a mistaken notion and a poor assumption about Allah. The Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade a person from invoking curses upon themselves, their children, or their wealth. Therefore, the supplication for Allah to hasten punishment in this world, as mentioned in the hadith, might be the reason for the questioner's lack of progeny or work. The imperative now is to repent to Allah, not to repeat such a supplication, and to frequently supplicate for good, asking Allah for sustenance and children, and to increase seeking forgiveness, for it is a cause for wealth and children.
