- “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

عن الإمام الصادق عليهالسلام قَالَ:
“مَنْ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً
‘لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ حَقّاً حَقّاً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عُبُودِيَّةً وَ رِقّاً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِيمَاناً وَ صِدْقاً’
أَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَلَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنْهُ وَجْهَهُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ.”
Translation

“Anyone who says fifteen times a day
‘There is no god except Allah truly truly, There is no god except Allah for worshiping and servitude, There is no god except Allah for believing and honesty.’
