Beseech Allah for His blessings

There is nothing wrong with seeking Allah’s blessings in this life, as long as one does not lose sight of the hereafter. You can ask Allah to provide you with wealth and resources without incurring any blame. Consider the following earnest prayer made by Sulayman (AS): 'My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower.' (38:35) Allah accepted this prayer, and bestowed great powers upon him. It is important to have a balanced outlook on life, though, and not fall prey to materialism.
