<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Supplication is the core of worship and, therefore, one must be sincere to his Lord while supplicating Him, and must comply with the guidance of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in doing so.<br>
2) One should display weakness and need to his Lord as he supplicates Him, and be certain that Allah Almighty will respond to him.
