Allah, the Creator of the universe
states:
‘Ask from me, I will accept your
request. No doubt, the ones who turn away from My worship will be disgraced and
will enter Hell’
A few statements of the Holy Prophet
(pbuh) regarding supplication:
‘Those of you who find the time to
supplicate by the divine help of Allah will be opening the doors of blessings
upon yourselves’
‘Except from supplication, nothing
can bring a change in predestined fate. And nothing except good deeds can
increase the life-span of one’
‘Supplication is the essence of
worship, the weapon of the believer, the tower of strength of religion, the
Light of the Earth and the Heavens.’
After Prayer when supplicating, one should contemplate that one is below the Throne of Allah in front of his Creator with open hands, and that Allah is so generous that even if one had to plea for a thousand things a day from Allah, He has the Divine Power to fulfil them. Until the heart is not satisfied, one should remain supplicating. Repetitive supplication brings softness to the heart, a softness that flows out through the eyes. The tears of His servant are very dear to Allah.

Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
