The supplication is the connection tool between God and human being. Supplication can be divided into kinds. The supplication that person say by himself and the supplication that has been narrated from Innocent Imams which is actually an authoritative text for connecting to God. Because these supplications came from Ahl Al-Bayt, they are eligible to be used as the source for “shia Kalaam “. Accordingly; I have choasen some of these kinds of supplication like Komail, Abu Hamza Thomali,  Arafa, Iftitah and Nodbah that contains many of Shia-Islamic teachings. Supplications contain variant issues that in this research are discussed. The ways for theology such as wisdom, nature (Fitrah) and experience are smooyhly mentioned in supplications. The steps of monotheism such as Zati and Sifati monotheism are mentioned in supplications too. Other God`s traits such as SifatThobutieh  is mentioned in AhlBeyts words. In guidology section that consists of Nobowwah (Apostleogy) and Imamah, the supplications express the necessity of apostles and discuss the traits of apostles such as innocence, divine wisdom and supremacy. In Imamah section the immediate succession of Muhammad Pbuh and Imamah of twelve Imams are discussed. The Imams should have virtues such as Nass, Innocence, divine knowledge and supremacy. In resurrection section, it is proved that after death, the corps will be moved to the Barzakh and due to the deeds or misdeeds will be blessed or punished. This kind of life is the grave world. In Judgment Day the audit will be done and witnesses will witness for our deeds and misdeeds. After that people will go to heaven or hell. In supplications the definition of heaven and hell is compatible to Bodily Resurrection.
