Gifts of Knowledge

Ibn Rajab said, “Allaah loves that His Servants ask Him for all their religious and worldly needs, like their food, drink, clothing etc., just as they ask Him for His Guidance and Mercy, because if the servant asks for everything he needs from Allaah he has shown his need of Him—and Allaah loves that.”
