Beginning with Praise in Supplication for Occurrences

Question:
He also asks: Is there praise, glorification, and exaltation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in supplications for occurrences, or not? Or should I begin directly with supplication for the Muslims? The questioner says: In supplication for occurrences, before I begin asking for victory, support, and establishment for the Muslims, should I begin by praising and glorifying Allah, or should I immediately start supplicating for them?

Answer:
It is better that you make an introduction with praise of Allah, commendation of Him, and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then you supplicate. As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when he heard a man supplicating: "Hurry up with this," . This is among the causes of acceptance. Even in prostration, or at the end of the tashahhud, in most tashahhuds you praise Allah and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then you supplicate. So in prostration, you praise Allah and send blessings upon the Prophet, then you supplicate. All of this is among the causes of acceptance.
