Can i pray for worldly benefits, wealth, status?
There is nothing in Islamic teachings to forbid pursuing what is good in this world or to forbid striving for it.
Rather what is forbidden and blameworthy is for a person to have no concern for the hereafter and not strive for it or make any effort for it, and to have no interest in it; rather all his concern, effort and supplication have to do with this world and what it contains.
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
{ And when you have completed your rites, remember Allah like your [previous] remembrance of your fathers or with [much] greater remembrance. And among the people is he who says, “Our Lord, give us in this world,” and he will have in the Hereafter no share
But among them is he who says, “Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
Those will have a share of what they have earned, and Allah is swift in account} [al-Baqarah 2:200-202].
