Q: I was in hardship and in a desperate situation. I wanted my dua to get accepted so I asked God not to give me anything nor would I ask for anything in Jannah if God accept my dua. I think my dua got accepted but I feel a little regret. This is because I feel I'll lose out in the hereafter.
Can I do anything to reverse this? My life in dunya hasn't gone to plan and I don't want my akhirah to fail also.
Q:
1. Is it a sin and a spiritual disease to talk to Allah (SubhaanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) all the time verbally or in heart? Does it count as talking too much? And can one talk to Allah (SubhaanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) about things that are not related to Deen, like when someone see a bird or an animal or something permissible to see, they say to Allah (SubhaanaHu Wa Ta'alaa), "What a beautiful bird You have made."
2. How casually can one speak to Allah (SubhaanaHu Wa Ta'alaa)? I have had very little friends and I don't talk a lot with my parents nowadays. But, I speak casually to Allah (SubhaanHu Wa Ta'alaa) like He is a friend. I don't speak with disregard for His station, that is He is our Master. I also see Him like a child sees a parent, like a caretaker. Is it permissible to speak casually? I'll feel depressed if I can't.
Q: Can I utter words of (wishes/desires) in my dua. Example "Oh Almighty, please fulfill 'my desires and wish of a second marriage.'"
