One of the means of connection to God is the prayer and supplication, and therefore the prophet has been addressed here that: ``When My servants ask you concerning Me, tell them that I am indeed close to them. I answer the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on Me. So let them too, answer my call, and believe in ME, in order to find the way to their destination which should be the paradise as well as my consent and pleasure.

      To us; God is closer than whatever we may think of. HE is even closer to us than our JUGULAR-VEIN, as it is mentioned in S 50:16  It is worthy of mention that in thes verse our Lord points out to His sacred Essence for seven time, and has also mentioned His servants for seven times too, and thes shows the extreme of nearness, and strong relation and connection of the Lord ti Hes sevants, and thus he manifests HIS ardent love for HIS servants.

      Asking God, through prayer and supplication, is a sort of self awareness, and close communication to God who is the source of all goodnesses. It is also a kind of effective worship and humbling of one's self and soul to the Almighty God. Some say that it is meddling to God's affairs, to ask him to do something for us, because he knows better, what is to be done, and what is not to be done. Such critics do not know that God's bounties and favour are divided in accordance to the abilites, and he who is abler, his share is greater. we therefore hear that HAZRAT IMAM SADIQ (AS), has said: ``there are many ranks in the hands of God, that one cannot attain except through praying for it.''
