- Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H&HF): 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 supplication which is accepted and this is the need which is provided”
-
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his Household):
-
وَ لَوْ عَرَفْتُمُ اللَّهَ حَقَّ مَعْرِفَتِهِ لَزَالَتِ الْجِبَالُ بِدُعَائِكُم
If you knew god the way you should’ve known, Mountains definitely will be moved by your supplications. - 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 [supplications]
- Pray to God and believe in his answeres. But understand that God won't accept prays from an unwitting oblivious heart.

اَللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِي عَامِي هَذا وَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَا اَبْقَيْتَنِي فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَعَافِيَةٍ وَسَعَةِ رِزْقٍ وَلاَ تُخْلِنِي مِنْ تِلْكَ الْموَاقِفِ الْكَرِيمَةِ وَالْمَشَاهِدِ الشَّرِيفَةِ وَزِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ الِهِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَالاْخِرَةِ فَكُنْ لِي . اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْاَلُكَ فِيـمَا تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لاَ يُرَدُّ وَلاَ يُبَدَّلُ اَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمُ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ وَاجْعَلْ فِيـمَا تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ اَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمْرِي فِي طَاعَتِک وَتُوَسِّعَ عَلَىَّ رِزْقِي وَتُؤدِّي عَنِّي اَمَانَتِي وَدَيْنِي امِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
O’ Lord! In this year and every year, as long as You keep me alive, in the health and well-being and the breadth of sustenance, bestow me making pilgrimage to Your Holy House (the Kabbah) and do not leave me empty of (do not let my place be empty at) those valuable positions (stand) and honorable places and the pilgrimage to the grave of Your Prophet- may God bless him and his Household- and do me good in all the needs of this world and the hereafter.
O’ Lord! In what You have judged and preordained from the inevitable order in the Blessed Night, from the judgment (destiny) that cannot be rejected nor changed, I ask You to place me among the visitors of Your Holy House (the Kabbah), whose pilgrimage is accepted, their efforts are praised, their sins have been forgiven and their mistakes have been pardoned. And in what You have decreed and determined, determine for me a prolonged life in obedience, and extend my sustenance and keep my trust and faith safe, O’ Lord of the worlds! Answer my prayers.
