Commencing supplication with praise of Allah and blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is a good deed and among the reasons for the supplication to be answered. Scholars have unanimously agreed upon their desirability. In terms of praise, one may say: "All praise is due to Allah," or "All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds," or "O Allah, to You belongs all praise; I cannot enumerate Your praises; You are as You have praised Yourself." The best form of sending blessings upon the Prophet is the Ibrahimiyyah prayer, though sending blessings upon him is valid with any other form, such as "O Allah, bless Muhammad."
