Is specifying a supplication by determining the attributes of what is requested from Allah considered an aggression in supplication, and what is the correct way to supplicate?
Asking Allah for what you desire, as long as it does not involve sin or breaking ties of kinship, is not an act of transgression in supplication (Du'a). The prophets and their followers used to ask Allah for the well-being of their religious, worldly, and otherworldly affairs, and this is a good and desirable matter. Similarly, adhering to the supplications found in the Quran and is good and beautiful, and contains much good. Nevertheless, Ibn al-Qayyim advises that when asking Allah for something specific, the supplicant should condition their request on Allah's knowledge of what is best, and precede the request with (prayer for guidance). In conclusion, what was mentioned is not an act of transgression in supplication, and one should frequently supplicate with whatever they desire, as well as with the supplications from the Quran and Sunnah and comprehensive supplications.
