Attributes of God
English book, p. 25

The Prayer which God Accepts front of the palace gate and said “khul ae sim sim”, and immediately the door opened. Many people regard ism-e-aazam, a kind of magical word, but this is wrong. Indeed ism-e-aazam is not a name you will find in a dictionary, it is another name for the internal state of a person. Whenever any true servant of God prays to God with sublime feelings from the heart, he receives the support of angels. At that time, particular spiritual words come to his lips. That is what it is to pray with ism-e-aazam. This kind of dua is guided by divine inspiration and the dua which is said with divine inspiration will definitely come straight from the human heart. The Prayer which God Accepts T he real dua, or prayer, comes out of one’s entire being, rather than from just the utterings of some words. It is a fact, that the seeker or one who asks from God, is never deprived. But asking does not mean just the repetition of certain words. The real asking is that in which man’s entire being becomes a part of it. If someone says: “O God! Accept me,” but does things which are not acceptable to God, then that is a proof that his request was not sincere. If a child asked his mother for bread, it is not possible that his mother would place a burning coal in his hand.
