- “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!

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.
A Supplication in the Night of Qadr
A Supplication in The Night Of Qadr
Laylat al-Qadr (The Glorious Night/The Night of Divine Determination/The Night of Divine Decree), variously rendered in English as the Night of Decree, Night of Power, Night of Value, Night of Destiny, or Night of Measures, is, in Islamic belief, the night when the Quran was first sent down from Heaven to the world and also the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the prophet Muhammad. According to many Muslim sources, it was one of the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Since that time, Muslims have regarded the last ten nights of Ramadan as being especially blessed. Muslims believe that the Night of Qadr comes with blessings and mercy of God in abundance, sins are forgiven, supplications are accepted, and that the annual decree is revealed to the angels who carry it out according to God's plan.
this is one of the recomended prayer in the night of qadr:
Zurarah narrated from Imam Sadiq (A.S) that said: Pick up the Holy Qur’an in three nights of the Ramadhan, open it and put it before yourself and say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِكِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ وَمَا فِيهِ وَفِيهِ اسْمُكَ الْاَكْبَرُ وَأَسْمَاوُكَ الْحُسْنَى وَمَا يُخَافُ وَيُرْجَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ.
O’ Lord! Verily, I ask You to Your Book that has been sent down and to what is in it, which is Your Great Name and Your Names of Goodness, and (to) what is feared and is the reason of hope, to put me among those who are freed by You from the fire (of the hell).
Then, you mention every request you have.
