Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiEtiquette for supplication
The best manners for supplications are to have lawful earnings, to be truthful, to supplicate from the core of one’s heart, not to make haste in receiving an answer, to praise ALLAH, the Almighty in the beginning and to beseech blessings on the Prophet, his family and Companions etc.
Hadrat lbn ‘Abbas (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “When you make request of ALLAH do so with the palms of your hands and not the back upward, and when you are finished wipe your face with them.” [Abu Dawud]
