Allahu ta’ala said,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِـمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ

O you who have Iman, answer Allah and the Messenger when He (or: he) calls you to that which gives you life (al-Anfal:24)

He ta’ala said,

وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ (168)

And do not follow the footsteps of the Shaytan. Verily, he is a clear enemy to you. (al-Baqarah:168)

And He taala said:

وَمَا الْـحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ (185)

And the Dunya live is only the enjoyment of deception (Ali ’Imran:185)

Ibnu Taimiyyah said in Majmu’ ul-Fatawa (1/95),

مُـحَرِّكَاتِ الْقُلُوبِ إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ: الْـمَحَبَّةُ وَالْـخَوْفُ وَالرَّجَاءُ

These three move the hearts towards Allah ’azza wa jalla: Love, fear, and hope.

Ibn ul-Qayyim said in “ ad-Da' wad-Dawa' (page 10),

والدعاء من أنفع الأدوية

The Du’a' (supplication) belongs to the most useful medicaments.

Allahu ta’ala said,

أُولَئِكَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى الْـجَنَّةِ وَالْـمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِ

Those call to the fire, and Allah calls to the Jannah and the forgiveness with His permission (al-Baqarah:221)

He ta’ala said, too,

وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and the earth (Ali ’Imran:133)
