One of the most important things that brings joy and comfort to the #Muslim's heart is his direct connection to his Lord without a mediator from the living or the dead or the idols. Allah (SWT) said in the Qur'an that He is always near to us to hear and answer our Duā (supplication). Allah says: {And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me, and believe in Me so that they may be rightly guided.} [Ch. 2, Verse 186]
