- I told to Imam Baqir (A.S): “What is the meaning of “truly, Ibrahim was awwah and patient”? He replied: “Awwah means (the one who is) praying (to) and wailing (for God) a lot.””
- “Two people, who have acted alike, enter the heaven, but one of them sees the other one in a higher place. Then, he says: O’ Lord! How come has he a superior place in comparison to me while we acted alike? God the Almighty replies: “because he asked Me (whatever he needed) and you did not do that”.
- “The most knowledgeable person to God is the one who asks more from Him”
- “Whoever prays a lot, the angels say: this voice is familiar (to us) and this is the prayer which is accepted and this is the need which is provided”
- “There is no servant who goes to a land and opens their hands and praises God and prays, unless God fills the land with his rewards, whether it is vast or tiny”
- If you knew god the way you should’ve known, Mountains definitely will be moved by your prayers.
- Crying out of fear of god is the key to his mercy, it’s a sign for his acceptance and it’s a door to answering (your prayers)
- Pray to god and believe in his answeres. But understand that god wont accept prays from an unwitting oblivious heart.
Imam Al-Sajjad
Abu Hamza al-Thumali said: “I told Imam Sajjad (A.S): teach me a prayer. He replied: O’ Thabet say:”
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَإِلَهَ إِلّاَ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ ذُو الْجَلاَلِ وَالاِكْرَامِ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا.
O’ Lord! I beseech You that verily, praise belongs to You, there is no god but You, the most Benevolent, the creator of the heavens and earth, the owner of glory and honor, do this and this to me.
The he continued: “the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: this is the prayer that if God is called with it, He surely answers and if He is asked for with this prayer, He will bestow”.
