ANSWER:

This is not true!

If you want something from Allah, you must ask Him and beg Him for it by praising Allah first, offering salutation upon the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam and then asking Allah for whatever you want from Him in your duaa.

QUESTION: What is the best style to do dua? I’ve heard it’s best to only praise Allah, and that this will be better for someone than to ask for specific things. Is this true, and how do we balance praising Allah and asking for things for this dunya and for the akhira?
