Allah Almighty loves to be asked and is angered by those who do not ask Him, and supplication (Du'a) is worship. Among the etiquettes of supplication are: Tawhid (monotheism), sincerity, praising Allah, sending blessings upon the Prophet, facing the Qiblah, raising the hands with the palms facing the sky, certainty of a response, persistence and not being hasty, being firm in one's request, humility and submissiveness, supplicating three times, ensuring one's food and clothing are lawful, and concealing the supplication.
