If one
offers the Fajr Prayer and remains seated there afterwards, remaining occupied
in contemplation and the remembrance of Allah, does not carry out any worldly
task, does not speak to anyone and offers a Prayer of two or four rakats, once
the sun has fully come out, it is called Namaz-e-Ishrāq.
The time
for Ishrāq begins approximately fifteen or twenty minutes after the sun comes
out. If after the Fajr Prayer one becomes preoccupied in any other task, there
is no harm in one offering Namaz-e-Ishrāq after that.
KHWAJA SHAMSUDDIN AZEEMI
Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
