Etiquette of Supplicating to Allah:
Allah said,
وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا
And call upon HIM with fear and hope
That is, fear of His punishment and hope of His reward, hoping that one’s deeds will be accepted and fearing that they will be rejected, not offering supplication in the manner of one who thinks that he is entitled to a response from his Lord, filled with self-admiration and raising himself above his station, or in the manner of one who is heedless and not focusing.
To sum up, the etiquette of supplication as mentioned in this verse is that one should be sincere in calling upon Allah alone, which is indicated by offering supplication in private, concealing and hiding it.
There should be both fear and hope, with no heedlessness, complacency or not caring about the response.
This is part of offering supplication in the proper manner, because doing every act of worship properly means striving one’s best and doing it in a perfect manner with no shortcomings in any way.
