Are You Asking Allah With Great Ambitions During These Last 10 Nights?

Are You Asking Allah With Great Ambitions During These Last 10 Nights?

As Muslims, we think very small. We ask Allah for very small things. When Laylatul Qadr comes, we ask Allah for very simple and very small things.

But really, those who know Allah's name Al-Wahhab — the Giver of Gifts — Allah can surprise you. Allah can give you a gift you never expected. Allah can surprise you.

The gift you get, the blessing that you get, is in a way you never imagined. So why are we asking Allah in such a small-minded manner?

Sulaiman (alayhi assalam) asks Allah: give me the greatest kingdom ever. Allah gives him something he didn't expect — control over the wind, the ability to talk to the ants, control over the jinn.

You and me, we have to ask Allah in an ambitious manner. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) says: if you are going to ask Allah for something in paradise, in Jannah, ask him for the greatest part of paradise — Al-Firdaus.

"When you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaus, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 2790)

Don't ask Him for the basement. Ask Him for the penthouse. Don't ask Him for the one-star apartment. Ask Him for the seven-star.

He is Allah — Al-Wahhab. He gives according to His means, not according to your ambitions.
