Re: “Mannat” in Islam
Allah says ask ME, that doesn’t mean that one should try to nauuzobillah bribe Allah…ask whatever ‘jaaiz’ thing you wanna ask and let Allah decide if it’s good for you or if it’s in your best interest. that’s the reason the etiquette of du’aa requires you to say **“O’Allah, grant me my wishes ONLY if it’s in my best ineterest!” **… once it has been granted then you may do whatever good deeds/sadaqaat you wanna do…putting conditions on good deeds/sadaqaat ahead of your wishes and it’s fulfillment is just NOT a good/recommended way of asking Allah to grant your wishes.
it’s NOT Haraam but an indecent way of asking Allah for His favours.
