Which is better
to make du'aa to ask Allah for something
or to supplicate to Allah and give thanks for something he already gives?
For example
If you want a car, is it better to ask Allah or a car or simply ask Allah to give the best whatever it may be

Both are different. Sometimes you have a specific need and sometimes you have a general need.

A person may be in need of a wife (in general) so can make dua for a pious Muslimah
A person may be in need for a specific mode of transport (i.e. a car) and a specific car (Pickup truck) for business
A person may be in need for a specific mode of transport (i.e. a car) and a specific car (Pickup truck) and then a specific pickup truck (i.e. Toyota) due to high load carrying capacity and greater fuel efficiency

All needs should be submitted to Allah (SWT).
