Is it considered an transgression in supplication for the supplicant to be specific in his Du'a, such as saying: "O Lord, grant me a color television and a furnished apartment," especially if he is supplicating in the Sacred Mosque (Haram al-Makki) and during Ramadan? And is it better to suffice with the supplications authentically narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for the good of this world and the Hereafter?

Supplication (Du'a) is worship; it is the most honored act in the sight of Allah, and whoever does not ask Allah incurs His wrath.

To magnify the status of supplication, there are etiquettes that should be followed, including: starting the supplication for oneself, raising the hands, being in a state of complete purity, facing the Qibla, showing humility and persistence, and not being hasty for the answer. One should also praise and extol Allah and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) before supplicating.

Among what is considered an transgression in supplication are: excessive detail in requests, or asking for what is forbidden by Islamic law or what leads to it. Rather, supplicating with comprehensive words is more appropriate, and asking Allah for what aids in disobedience is an act of transgression.
