Allah Ta’ala states in the Qur’aan, ‘I answer the caller when he makes du’aa to Me.’ Therefore, it is permissible to ask Allah for anything except for committing a sin or severing family ties.
Allah answers the du’aas of His servants in three ways as reported by Abu Sa’eed al-Khudriy [radhiallaahu anhu] that Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘Any Muslim invoking Allah with a du’aa wherein there is no sin and severance of blood ties will be given one of the three things; a) Either Allah will give him a speedy answer to his du’aa, or b) Allah reserves it for the hereafter (in the form of thawaab), and c) Allah turns him away from an evil (calamity) the like of it. Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhu] said, ‘In that case, we shall invoke more.’ Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘Allah will give more.’ (Mishkaat pg.195)
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
