What is the ruling on being too shy to supplicate for oneself, and only supplicating for others?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Supplication to Allah Almighty is one of the greatest acts of worship, and a Muslim should not be ashamed to supplicate to Allah Almighty for himself regarding all his needs.

It is recommended for a Muslim to supplicate for his brethren in their absence.
