PRAYERS ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT.........

Prayers alone are not sufficient. As many traditions from the Holy Prophet and the chaste Ahlul Bayt show, with Du'as, effort is also required. Imam Ali says about practicality and the Du'a: "He who prays but does not make effort is like the one who shoots (an arrow) without the bow-string."  So making efforts as per our capabilities is very much needed with making Du'as. We should utilize all the faculties and capabilities given by Him, and at the same time, have full reliance in His power and ask Him to bestow success in the efforts being made, as the effects of our efforts are dependent on His will. When we are sick, we must visit the doctor and take medicine, but on every step, we should first pray for His guidance and good results, as the medicine or advice of doctor is subject to His will before showing any good results
