Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Sorry Imam I feel like I've asked too many questions already but I am very excited about this board, especially the ask Imam section, I have waited for something like this for a long long time and me, aswell as everyone else on the board are very grateful for your time, patience and knowledge.
I have been at my job for over 5 years now but its lack progression and the salary (as grateful as I am to Allah SWT for giving me rozi, a job, security) isn't competitive compared to the market.
I Have been praying "Ya MalikulMulk and wondered if this is relative to what I should be praying or is something else more relevant? A Friend told me I should get ijazat when praying the names of Allah, is there someone i can get ijazat from with the absence of Hazrat Sheikh Ul Islam or is it OK for me to just pray them?
Jazakallah

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu All Praise be to Allah who is the Provider of sustenance for all of His creation, and endless blessings be upon His Most Beloved Messenger (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam).Jazakallah khayran for entrusting your faith in me with your question. As far as the Beautiful Names of Allah the Almighty are concerned, then permission is not really required to recite these, or learn these off by heart. It should be enough that when someone has advised you to recite these, that it counts as sufficient permission or 'ijazah'. Where you feel that you are not receiving enough income, and that you are not being able to pass by in your everyday living then a good wazifah' to recite for the provision of sustenance is also stated in the Qur'an al kareem. It is as follows: 'Wallaho khayrur Raziqin'
'And Allah the Almighty is the best provider of sustenance'. If you recite, the above verse, as many times as you can each day, then by the Power of Allah the Almighty, and the Qur'an al-Hakim, you shall begin to notice the difference in your income, or yourself. You shall either be content (qana'ah) with what you are gaining, which is a good characteristic to recieve, or Allah the Almighty will make provision for your improvement. (Amin). In addition to this, you should also be firm on your five times salaah, because the five times salaah, carries so much benefits for this world, and the hereafter, that you will not be able to imagine. May Allah the Almighty keep us all steadfast upon the religion of Islam, and upon five times salah, and upon recitation of the Qur'an al karim, especially when the Muslim Ummah is facing up to so much destruction in the world today. (Amin). Wallahu A'lamu Biththawaab M. Waseem Ashrafi
