Can I ask Allah for simple, everyday things in my Salah?

Assalamu alaikum. During sujood, I usually make dua for Jannah, forgiveness, and I always thank Allah for all the blessings in my life, alhamdulillah. But sometimes I find myself wanting to ask for dunya stuff, you know? Like a good halal job with a decent salary, a comfortable home, a peaceful life with my spouse and kids... I know all this is temporary and what really counts is the akhirah, and I always beg Allah to grant my family and me Jannah. But I’m just wondering, is it okay to ask for worldly things and a bit of ease in this life during salah? Or is that considered makruh or even haram? Jazakum Allahu khairan for any advice.

Brother, even a small thing like a nice meal is from Allah. Never feel shy. The Prophet said, 'Ask Allah even for your shoelace if it breaks.' So definitely ask for a good job and peaceful family life. Halal dunya is a blessing.

Salam. Our scholars say as long as you don't ask for haram things, it's permissible. Sujood is a special moment. Ask Allah whatever is in your heart - He already knows, but He loves when you ask.

Wa alaikum assalam. Bro, there's nothing wrong with asking Allah for dunya things in sujood. It's a time when dua is accepted. Just keep your intentions for the akhirah and don't get too attached to this world. May Allah grant you what's best.

Yes, you can ask. Even Musa (AS) asked for simple things like a wife and safety. No harm in it. But remember, sometimes dunya requests get delayed for a better reward. Keep making du'a.
