Imam Baqir (PBUH) was a pure servant\nof Allah (SWT). He always had Allah (SWT) in his mind and spent all his time to\nworship Him. Nothing could prevent him from the pure worship he made to Allah\n(SWT). Aflah, who was a companion of the Imam, narrates: I saw Imam Baqir\n(PBUH) near Kabah while he was crying heavily. I told him: \u201cMay my parents be\nsacrificed for you! People are looking at you. It is more appropriate to cry\nquietly.\u201d He told me in response: \u201cWoe unto you, Aflah! Why should not I cry\nloudly? Allah (SWT) might pay attention to me mercifully and I would achieve\nsalvation on the Day of Judgment by His mercy.\u201d He also said: \u201cBefore Allah\n(SWT), nothing is more desirable than asking Him for requests. Praying has such\ngreat impact that nothing would change the fate except through praying.\u201d (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding what mentioned, Imam Sadiq\n(PBUH) narrates: \u201cWhenever something distressed my father, he would gather his\nwhole family (women and children). Then he would pray and ask them to say\nAmen.\u201d (2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another narration, Musa Ibn Akil\nsays: \u201cOnce some of the friends and I came to the house of Imam Baqir (PBUH)\nthat we heard some one\u2019s heartbreaking prayer in Hebrew. When we visited Imam,\nwe asked him about that person who was praying and crying in the house. He\nsaid: It was myself. I remembered one the prayers of Iliya (the name of a\nprophet sent to Bani Israel) that made me cry\u201d. (3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The narrations mentioned above are\njust a few examples of Imam\u2019s beautiful prayers with his Lord. Let us ask\nourselves, how much time we do spend to talk to our Creator by the means of\nprayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
