Is not He (Better than your gods), who responds to the distressed
Allah says:
“Is not He (better than your gods) who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him.” (Quran 27:62)
From Whom do the weak and the oppressed seek victory? Who does everyone beseech? He is Allah. None had the right to be worshipped except Him.
Therefore it is most advisable for you and I to invoke Him during difficult times during times of both hardship and ease, to seek shelter with Him in difficult times, and to plead at His doorstep with tears of repentance; then will His help and relief quickly arrive.
Allah says:
“Is not He (Better than you gods) who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him...” (Quran 27:62)
He saves the one who is drowning, gives victory to the oppressed, guides the misguided, cures the sick, and provides relief to the afflicted.
Allah says:
“And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their Faith pure for Him only” (Quran 29:65)
As for the various supplications one makes to remove hardship, I refer you to the books of Sunnah, in them, you will learn prophetic supplications with which you can call to Allah, supplicate to Him, and seek His Aid. If you have found Him, then you have found everything. And If you lose your faith in Him, then you have lost everything. By supplicating to Him you are performing one of the highest forms of worship. If you are persistent and sincere in you supplication, you willl achieve freedom from worry and anxiety. All ropes are cut lose save His, and all doors are shut save His. His is near; He hears all and answer those who supplicate to Him.
Allah says:
“Invoke Me (and ask Me for anything), I will respond to your (Invocation).”
(Quran 40:60)
If you are living through affliction and pain, remember Allah, call out His name, and as Him, for help. Place your forehead on the ground an mention His Praises, so that you can obtain true freedom. Raise your hands in supplication, and ask of Him Constantly. Cling to His door, have good thoughts about Him, and wait for His help- you will then find true Happiness and success.

If salaah actually worked as claimed, everybody would live in the masjid. Religion is a popular opium and gives great solace to the mu'min. But prayer is more like a meditation that works at the individual level. The condition of man will not change until he himself changes that which is in his heart and mind, as Allaah says in al-Qur'aan.
