Calling God By His Supreme Name

Amir al-Muminin (the Commander of the Believers) (PBUH) said: “ Whenever you want to call God by His Supreme Name and [your call] is answered, then recite from the beginning of Surah al-Hadid till the end of (وَهُوَ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ), and the ending verses of Surah al-Hashr from (لَوْ اَنْزَلْنا هذَا الْقُرْآنَ) till the end of surah, then raise your hands and say”: 

يَا مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ الاْسْمَاءِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ. 

O’ He who is as such! I ask You by the right of these names to bless Muhammad and his Household. 

And then ask for your request.
