Asking For The Blessings Of This World
Understand that the audience of the Qur’an were the Quraish which it was warning that in presence of Rasool, giving preference to worldly life over obeying Allah will cost them their Hereafter as immediate judgment was close after Itmam-e-Hujjat (Qur’an 10:47). This is why there are verses where Allah disapproves worldly life preference when a Rasool is present because judgment was close (Qur’an 9:24). The right attitude for Muslim in general is that you should ask for goodness in this life as well as the hereafter. We have example of prophets like Hazrat Zakariya (Qur’an 19:5) asking for a son and Hazrat Ibrahim asking for food and safety for his descendants (Qur’an 14:37). Discussion 75319 Discussion 68480
