What is the recommended Islamic guidance regarding beginning a Dua, before making one’s specific request to Allah?

Explanation

– Islamic guidance recommends beginning a Dua with praise of Allah, followed by sending blessings (Salawat) upon the Prophet (PBUH), before proceeding to make one’s specific personal request.
– This structure reflects proper etiquette in approaching Allah, similar to the respectful manner one might approach any request, beginning with acknowledgment and appreciation.
– For exams, remember that Hadith describes this structured approach as more likely to result in an accepted and complete supplication.
