Frequent remembrance of Allāh and supplication
In a Hadīth, the Prophet, (Sallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: "The best supplication is that of the Day of ‘Arafah, and the best thing that I and other prophets before me said, is: 'Lā ilāha illallāhu wahdahu la sharīka lah, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr (There is none worthy of worship except Allāh Alone and He has no partners, dominion and praise belong to Him, and He is over all things Omnipotent)."

One who supplicates Allāh starts with praising Allāh the Almighty and says it before asking Allāh for anything and therefore praising in this Hadīth was called supplication."
