Abstract :
Prayer is a door of God's vast mercy that God has opened to His servants. No one can close the door he opens. Prayer is a loving relationship with God, and it is a reciprocal relationship, in that God Almighty is both the initiator and the one who encourages and guarantees its fulfillment. He himself has commanded and encouraged prayer and has undertaken to answer it unconditionally. Praying is a form of worship, and avoiding it is arrogance and arrogance before the Lord of the universe. The spirit of prayer, worship and devotion, and the condition for its realization, is sincerity. Another important condition for the fulfillment of prayer is the feeling of need and humiliation in the presence of the needless, and one of the important areas for answering prayer is asking for forgiveness, enumerating blessings, giving thanks, trusting and entrusting the result to oneself. One of the effective factors in answering prayers is insisting on praying, waiting for answers and praying in any case, whether in trouble or in comfort. Prayer is the line between God and man. Prayer purifies the inner man. When we pray, that is, we are chosen, then we receive an answer; At the same time, when man is in trouble, he finds God.
