Be ever mindful of prayers, and of praying in the most excellent way; and stand before God in devout obedience. Qur’an 2:238

Truly, to a happy state shall attain the believers:those who humble themselves in their prayer, and who turn away from all that is frivolous, and who are intent on inner purity. Qur’an 23:1-4

Extol, then, God’s limitless glory when you enter upon the evening hours, and when you rise at morn; and seeing that unto Him is due all praise in the heavens and earth, glorify Him in the afternoon as well, and when you enter upon the hour of noon. Qur’an 30:17-18

Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth’s sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says:

“Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it?

Who is asking something of Me that I may give it him?

Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?”

Hadith Qudsi 35

With that in mind, imagine that each prostration in prayer is like a knock on His door.
