- Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H): Whenever one of you is needy and brings that to other people, he will not be satisfied. and Whenever someone is needy and brings that to Lord, he shall give him what he wants. sooner or later.
- Imam Sadiq (As.): Whenever you had tenderness in your heart, Pray. because your heart doesn't get tender unless it's pure.
- 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.

اللّهُمّ اسْقِنَا الْغَيْثَ، وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيْنَا رَحْمَتَكَ بِغَيْثِكَ الْمُغْدِقِ مِنَ السّحَابِ الْمُنْسَاقِ لِنَبَاتِ أَرْضِكَ الْمُونِقِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْآفَاقِ. وَ امْنُنْ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ بِإِينَاعِ الثّمَرَةِ، وَ أَحْيِ بِلَادَكَ بِبُلُوغِ الزّهَرَةِ، وَ أَشْهِدْ مَلَائِكَتَكَ الْكِرَامَ السّفَرَةَ بِسَقْيٍ مِنْكَ نَافِعٍ، دَائِمٍ غُزْرُهُ، وَاسِعٍ دِرَرُهُ، وَابِلٍ سَرِيعٍ عَاجِلٍ. تُحْيِي بِهِ مَا قَدْ مَاتَ، وَ تَرُدّ بِهِ مَا قَدْ فَاتَ وَ تُخْرِجُ بِهِ مَا هُوَ آتٍ، وَ تُوَسّعُ بِهِ فِي الْأَقْوَاتِ، سَحَاباً مُتَرَاكِماً هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً طَبَقاً مُجَلْجَلًا، غَيْرَ مُلِثٍّ وَدْقُهُ، وَ لَا خُلّبٍ بَرْقُهُ. اللّهُمّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثاً مُغِيثاً مَرِيعاً مُمْرِعاً عَرِيضاً وَاسِعاً غَزِيراً، تَرُدّ بِهِ النّهِيضَ، وَ تَجْبُرُ بِهِ الْمَهِيضَ اللّهُمّ اسْقِنَا سَقْياً تُسِيلُ مِنْهُ الظّرَابَ، وَ تَمْلَأُ مِنْهُ الْجِبَابَ، وَ تُفَجّرُ بِهِ الْأَنْهَارَ، وَ تُنْبِتُ بِهِ الْأَشْجَارَ، وَ تُرْخِصُ بِهِ الْأَسْعَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَمْصَارِ، وَ تَنْعَشُ بِهِ الْبَهَائِمَ وَ الْخَلْقَ، وَ تُكْمِلُ لَنَا بِهِ طَيّبَاتِ الرّزْقِ، و تُنْبِتُ لَنَا بِهِ الزّرْعَ وَ تُدِرّ بِهِ الضّرْعَ وَ تَزِيدُنَا بِهِ قُوّةً إِلَى قُوّتِنَا. اللّهُمّ لَا تَجْعَلْ ظِلّهُ عَلَيْنَا سَمُوماً، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ بَرْدَهُ عَلَيْنَا حُسُوماً، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ صَوْبَهُ عَلَيْنَا رُجُوماً، وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ مَاءَهُ عَلَيْنَا أُجَاجاً. اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ، وَ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ بَرَكَاتِ السّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ، إِنّكَ عَلَى كُلّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
O God,
water us with rain,
unfold upon us Thy mercy
through Thy copious rain
from the driven clouds,
so that Thy goodly earth may grow
on all horizons!
Show kindness to Thy servants
through the ripening of the fruit,
revive Thy land
through the blossoming of the flowers,
and let Thy angels - the noble scribes - be witness
to a beneficial watering from Thee,
lasting in its abundance,
plenty in its flow,
heavy, quick, soon,
through which Thou revivest what has vanished,
bringest forth what is coming,
and providest plentiful foods,
through heaped up, wholesome, productive clouds,
in reverberating layers,
the rain's downpour
not without cease,
the lightning's flashes
not without fruit!
O God,
give us water
through rain,
helping, productive, fertilizing,
widespread, plentiful, abundant,
bringing back the risen,
restoring the broken!
O God,
give us water with a watering through which Thou wilt
make the stone hills pour,
fill the cisterns,
flood the rivers,
make the trees grow,
bring down prices in all the lands,
invigorate the beasts and the creatures,
perfect for us the agreeable things of provision,
make grow for us the fields,
let flow for us the teats,
and add for us strength to our strength!
O God,
make not the cloud's shadow over us a burning wind,
allow not its coldness to be cutting,
let not its pouring down upon us be a stoning,
and make not its waters for us bitter!
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household
and provide us with the blessings of the heavens and the earth!
Thou art powerful over everything
