Abstract
From the point of view of a religious believer, the agency of God Almighty has a strong presence in all aspects of his life, and encouraging prayer to achieve the desired and guaranteeing its fulfillment is a manifestation of this presence. Therefore, one of the important issues that has occupied the minds of religious scholars is to analyze and explain the relationship between natural laws as inviolable and the impact of factors such as prayer as a bed of divine agency in eliminating natural disasters in the system of creation. In one sense, answering prayer is incompatible with the law of causality and a kind of violation of the laws of nature. On the other hand, some believe that the answer to prayer is not in conflict with the laws of nature and can be analyzed in the same performer. In the meantime, Ayatollah Javadiyeh Amoli is one of the scientists who, with a comprehensive view of the Qur'an and argument, has been able to analyze and explain the answer to prayer in the system of natural laws. In this article, which is reflected in his works, first the truth of prayer is examined, then by explaining the place of causality in the system of nature and the relationship between prayer and divine judgment and predestination, the effect of prayer in the system of natural laws is analyzed. The findings show that answering prayers was not only against the laws of nature; Rather, it is in line with the law of causality; Finally, it should be noted that the cause of any phenomenon is not limited to its known causes and the process of answering prayers in the system of causality can be explained by the influence of supernatural causes.
