Praying for the Muslim Ruler for their success, guidance and for them to be aided by Allah is a Sunnah

 ....

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy upon him) said, “If you see something from the ruler that is in opposition to (the Qur’an and Sunnah), then supplicate to Allaah for him because their rectification is a means of rectification for the Muslim nation; but when we say, ‘O Allaah! Rectify the rulers and guide them’, we hear some of the foolish people saying, ‘ O Allaah! Do not rectify them’. Glorified be Allaah, The Most Great! If Allaah does not rectify them, then that would be more evil for you, so supplicate for them to be guided and become righteous, and Allaah is able to do everything.’”
