ASK ALLAH UNCONDITIONALLY

The late Allāmah Tehrānī (ra) said:
The late Āqā Sayyid Jamāl Golpāyegāni (ra) used to say:
A person should not make their request to God conditional upon offering something in return, because they might not be capable of fulfilling that offer. And if one ties their request to such a commitment, then God too may deal with them in the same transactional way — and how could a human ever stand against or match the Will and Decree of God?

It is far better to begin by admitting one's weakness and inability, to present oneself with humility and poverty before the Divine Presence, and to ask Him — despite all weakness, shortcomings, and failures — to treat one with His unconditional grace and kindness, not with justice, strict fairness, and precise reckoning; for in that case, one would surely lose.
