man gets irritated when you repeat something. When you want something and you say it again and again, man gets irritated. But with Allah Almighty, it's the opposite. It's not the same. Allah subhanho wa Taala, in fact loves it when you repeat something in a nagging way, because you're actually acknowledging that Allah is the Creator, the nourisher, the provider, the protector, the owner of everything. And so when you repeat it, Allah loves it. So, like I said, different times have different value. Even different places have different value to be in the masjid is very different from being outside the masjid to be in the position of sujood, which is the prostration is
very different in value than to be in other positions. So when you want to call out to Allah and when you need something, then you need to make sure that you make maximum use of these times and places. But that doesn't mean that it's only when you're in need that you should become acquainted with Allah. In fact, the prophets of Salaam tells us to have Illa Rafi Yeah, if Kofi should debt are usually quote this hadith because it's a big reminder for all of us, where he says, get acquainted with Allah during your days of ease and Allah will get acquainted with you during your time of difficulty.
