The
hairs on the head act as antennae within the human body.
Every
conscious person acknowledges that ‘human’ is
the name given to a store of information. Until one does not receive the
information concerning an action he cannot
perform that action. We only eat
when we are hungry and we only drink water when we feel thirsty, we only lie in bed to
sleep once we receive the information that our body now needs to rest. We
only feel happiness when we receive any information concerning
happiness. Similarly, the feeling of anger
or annoyance is reliant upon
receiving the information concerning anger or
annoyance.
When we make intention to perform ablution it
actually makes us attentive towards the fact that we are performing this action
for Allah. By the time we have fulfilled the fundamentals of ablution and have
reached the stage of performing Masah our minds are attentive towards Allah and
away from all else. When we wipe our hands over our head the hairs on our head
acting as antennae receive all information which is contrary to all kinds of
impurity, grief and those things which distance us from Allah. Our mind only
accepts that information which is directly related to Allah and helps us get closer
to Him.
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.
