فَاِذَا قَضَیْتُمْ مَّنَاسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ اٰبَآءَكُمْ اَوْ اَشَدَّ ذِكْرًاؕ-فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّقُوْلُ رَبَّنَاۤ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ مَا لَهٗ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ(200)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Then when you have completed your rites of Hajj, remember Allah as you would remember your forefathers, in fact, ˹remember Him˺ more than that.[1] And among the people, a man says, “O our Lord! Give us in this world,”[2] and for him there is no share in the Hereafter.

Commentary

[1]

In the Age of Ignorance, the Arabs would praise their forefathers near the Kaʿbah after the pilgrimage. Islam taught them that these are pointless displays of fame and conceit which should be replaced with the impassioned and vocal remembrance of Allah Almighty.

[2]

Remember, it is permissible for the believer to supplicate for the betterment of his worldly affairs. If this is done to ultimately support Islam, then his supplication will be considered a matter of religion.
