ad-Du'a - You must supplicate to or ask Allah only. Du’a is supplication; calling and asking Allah (swt) it is a ritual act that cannot be performed to anyone else nor via anyone or anything else (even Muhammad) i.e. nor by intercession but rather must be directly to Allah (swt) exclusively. Allah says,

“And the mosques are for Allah (Alone), so supplicate not to anyone along with Allah. When the slave of Allah in prayer to Him they (the jinn) just made round him a dense crowd as if sticking one over the other (in order to listen to the Prophets recitation). Say (O Muhammad (saw) ): "I supplicate only to my Lord (Allah Alone), and I associate none as partners along with Him." al-Qur’an, Surah al-Jinn, 72: 18-20

And ibn Abbas (ra) narrated how the Prophet (saw) said,

“O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allah alone; and if you seek help, then seek help from Allah alone. And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.” Sunan at-Tirmidhi

And,

“And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell - in humiliation!"” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Ghafir, 40: 60
