After
rinsing the mouth we put water into the nose. The nose is a crucial part of the human body. The most remarkable ability of the
nose is that it produces depth and pleasantness in the voice. Try speaking whilst pressing the nostrils with
your fingers. You will feel the difference. The curtains in the nose play a very special role in the beauty of the
voice. They also help gather light in the
head. One particular duty of the nose
is its involvement with cleaning. It
makes the air clean, moist, warm and
well balanced for the lungs to take in. In every human approximately five
hundred cubic feet of air enters
through the nose daily. A whole
large-sized room could be filled
with this large quantity of air. In the season of snow you can go skiing on a dry frosty day but
the lungs will resist taking in the
dry air. They are not ready to accept
even a little gasp of it. Even at that time they need that air which is found in a warm
and moist atmosphere. They require air with eighty per-cent moisture and of a
temperature of at least ninety
degrees Fahrenheit.
The
lungs demand air that is free from germs, smoke, dust and pollution. A simple
air-filter required to supply such clean air would be approximately the size of
a small suitcase whereas the system of nature within the nose is so small and
integrated that the nose is only a few inches long.
To make
the air moist the nose produces approximately a quarter of a gallon of moisture
daily. For cleaning and other difficult tasks the hairs of the nostrils come in
use. There is a microscopic brush inside the nose. There are invisible fibres
on this brush which kill the harmful germs passing into the stomach through the
air. Apart from catching these germs instinctively these invisible fibres also
have another method of defence called Lysozium. Using this defensive method the
nose prevents the eyes from infection.
When a
person performing ablution puts water into the nose the electric current
functioning in the water increases the efficiency of the invisible fibres,
which in return safeguard the human body from many complicated diseases.

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.
