قال النبي ﷺ: “إذا تمنى أحدكم فليكثر، فإنما يسأل ربه.”
The Prophet ﷺ said: _“When one of you wishes for something, let him ask in abundance, for he is asking his Lord.”
صححه الألباني.
هَـٰٓأَنتُمْ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنفِقُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَّن يَبْخَلُ ۖ وَمَن يَبْخَلْ فَإِنَّمَا يَبْخَلُ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْغَنِىُّ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ ۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوٓا۟ أَمْثَـٰلَكُم
"Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of Allāh - but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allāh is the Free of need, while you are the needy. And if you turn away [i.e., refuse], He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you."
(47:38)
Whoever seeks refuge in Allah finds peace.
Surely ˹for˺ Muslim men and women, believing men and women, devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allah often—for ˹all of˺ them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward. (Qur’an, 33:35)
لا تمنعكم الشهوات المحرَّمة عن المطالب المكرَّمة، فالمعصية جِبلَّةٌ آدميَّةٌ، فإذا كبوتَ فأصبتَ حرامًا؛ فتطَّهر منه واغتسل بماء التَّوبة، واعزم على طلب ما تريد من المكارم، فالعثرات لا تمنع الوصول وإن أخَّرته، وربَّ عثرةٍ أحدثت قفزةً.
“Do not let forbidden desires keep you from honorable pursuits. Sin is a human inclination—if you stumble and fall into the forbidden, then purify yourself and wash it away with the water of repentance. Resolve to seek the virtues you aspire to, for missteps do not prevent arrival, even if they delay it. Indeed, a fall may sometimes lead to a greater leap.”

Stop ignoring your prayers. Your connection with Allah is everything. Don’t wait for the ‘right’ time - pray now. Every moment you delay is a moment lost.
