What is the ruling on composing a supplication that includes remembrance (dhikr) and requests to Allah Almighty?
The basic principle of supplication (du'a') is that a Muslim should ask for his needs. It is preferable to supplicate with the prescribed prayers from the Qur'an and , choosing what is appropriate for the situation. There is no objection to combining a personal supplication with a prescribed one, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Then let him choose whatever supplication he likes and supplicate with it." The Prophet also encouraged frequent supplication during prostration (), saying: "The closest a servant is to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so increase your supplication." The matter is broad, as long as one does not supplicate for a sin or the severance of kinship ties.
