Supplication is a call from an inferior to the superior, only addressed
to he whose power surpasses that of the supplicant. With The Almighty,
we supplicate Him because nothing in the entire universe is beyond His
Power. If you want anything your means are powerless to fulfill, you cry
for the Help of The Most High in the whole universe, Who is indeed
above all means, instruments and causes. You turn to the Power and Might
that created this universe and originated its causes crying, ‘O Lord,’
so that He, all praise and glory be to Him, fulfills to you what your
resources have failed to make happen. Supplication is always for a thing
you believe is prosperous for you. Every one of us wishes for goodness,
measured from his own viewpoint and based on the extent of his
knowledge. He sees that money is good for him so he begs for it, and he
sees that authority is good for him so he begs Allah to have it. Even
when you curse others, you want to quench the anger harbored in your
heart against the one who treated you unjustly or unrightfully seized a
possession of yours.
