The Prayer: SURAH 3: ‘Ale-Imran ayah 192-194

رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ مَن تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ ﴿١٩٢﴾ رَّبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا ۚ رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ ﴿١٩٣﴾ رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ

191-192 They also pray, “O our Sustainer! grant that our efforts in this world are not wasted, for those whose efforts are rendered waste lead an ignoble life and these z’alimeen have no helpersوَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ. We had heard the voice of a caller calling us to believe in You and we have believed. So, our Sustainer! if we falter, grant us protection and remove the ill-effects of our deeds. Grant us the companionship of those who have secured real freedom as a result of adhering to Your Laws وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ. O our Sustainer! grant us all that You have promised us through Your Rasool and put us no to shame on the Day of Reckoning. We have a firm belief that You do not go back on Your Promises.”إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ

The Acceptance Ale-Imran ayah 195

فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَنِّي لَا أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ مِّنكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ ۖ بَعْضُكُم مِّن بَعْضٍ ۖ فَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا وَأُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِمْ وَأُوذُوا فِي سَبِيلِي وَقَاتَلُوا وَقُتِلُوا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَأُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ثَوَابًا مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّـهِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ عِندَهُ حُسْنُ الثَّوَابِ

193-194 They, thus, humbly prayed from their Sustainer and their Sustainer listened to their prayers spontaneously, saying “Certainly I will not suffer the labour of any one amongst you – man or woman – to be lost. The one of you is as the other. Those of you who have migrated or were driven out of their homes, those who have suffered in My cause and those who have fought and have fallen, will be protected from the ill-effects of their shortcomings and led into gardens through which streams flow. This is recompense from Allah with Whom lies the best recompense.”

Pray from God Abide by His Laws
SURAH 7: Al-A’râf

ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّـهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٥٦﴾

(7:55) Invoke your Rabb in humbleness secretly. He does not like those who go beyond the bounds of proper limits. (7:56) After the Quranic system has restored order in the country, nothing should be done to disturb it. If you are fearful of losing something خَوْفًا or have the desire to gain something وَطَمَعًا – call Him. Allah’s Rahmat is close to those who lead a balanced life in accordance with His laws.

Musa AleSalam Prayer is accepted and he is required to remain persistent in struggle and not to follow ignorant

SURAH 10 : Yunus Ayah 89
الَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَاسْتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَانِّ سَبِيلَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Allah Said: ‘Your prayer is acceptable so [ but it can only be fulfilled through your own efforts] be steadfast in your struggle and do not follow the path of those who are lacking in knowledge”

Satisfaction of Mind by Sovereignty and Power which is given to Faith & Deeds that benefit to all
SURAH 27 : An-Naml Ayah 62

أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Then ask them, “Who is it that responds to the cries of anguish and distress of the oppressed and helpless people when they ask for assistance from Allah”. He replies to their call. And [when they work according to the guidance of Allah], He removes their difficulties and (thus) awards them the state and the authority in the land.” However, there are very few indeed who keep this in sight.

PROMISE OF ALLAH
what one would gain by obeying Allah Laws?
SURAH 24 : An-Nûr Ayah 55

وَعَدَ اللَّـهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَىٰ لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا ۚ يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

24:55. Allah has promised people who have faith in the truthfulness of the ALLAH guidance and who do the righteous deeds, that He will establish their authority on this earth for jennet like society لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ . This is Our eternal Law according to which We caused previous generations to establish their authority on this earth كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ . According to this Law and as a result of their Eiman and righteous deeds, We will grant them rule over the land وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ and strengthen the system of life which We have chosen for them دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَىٰ. The result will be that it will replace their erstwhile state of fear by a sense of security and peace وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا . Also there will be no pressure on them to obey any one else, thus becoming guilty of Shirk. (No worldly power or authority should force them to obey man-made or other laws instead of those given by Allah.)

For those who after the establishment of the system do not work according to it , this will amount to going astray and abandoning that straight path which leads them to the right destination.

Mo’mineen Pray and Keep Their Resources Open to Others
SURAH 32 : As­Sajdah ayah 16

تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

Their sides give-up rest in beds in order to pray before their Lord in fear and hope. They spend for the cause of God out of what we have given them.

Noah Aleh Salaam Prayer was accepted – he was ordered to build a Boat
Surah 23 Al Mominun: Ayah 27

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ﴿٢٦﴾ فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ ۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ۖ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ

Noah prayed, “Lord, help me; they have called me a liar”. (26) We inspired him, saying, “Build the Ark before Our eyes and by the instruction of Our revelation. When our decree comes to pass and water comes forth from the Oven, embark in the Ark with a pair of every kind of animals and your family except those already doomed (to perish). Do not plead with Me for the unjust; they will be drowned.” (27)

37:75 وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ Noah called for help. How blessed was the answer which he received.

How Allah Accepted Prayers of helpless people of Mecca
Surah 4 Ann-Nisaa : Ayah 75

وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا

Why do you not fight for the cause of God or save the helpless men, women, and children who cry out, “Lord, set us free from this town of wrong doers and send us a guardian and a helper?”

River of Water can not Quich Thirst just by Lip Service. A person need to reach to the water to Quinch Thirst
Surah Al Ra’ed 13:Ayah 14

لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ ۚ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ

Only the prayer to Him is truthful; and whomever they pray to besides Him, do not hear them at all, but like one who has his hands outstretched towards water that it may come into his mouth, and it will never come; and every prayer of the disbelievers remains wandering.

Acceptance of Prayer is Linked to Faith & Good Deeds
Surah سورة الشورى42:26

وَيَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ ۚ وَالْكَافِرُونَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ

He answers the prayers of those who believe in the truthfulness of His laws and work righteously as laid down by Him آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ. He bestows plentiful bounties and much more on them. The unbelievers will suffer a severe punishment.
