The proper way of making a Du‘a’ (supplication

A: This is not permissible because it was not authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him). It was authentically reported that he said, Whoever innovates things in our Din 'religion' for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected. In another narration, he (peace be upon him) said: Whoever does any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
