The
Earth rotates in two ways; axial rotation and longitudinal rotation. Once the
sun begins to set, the speed of the earth's rotation is decreased and keeps
slowly decreasing after this. By late afternoon the rotation is decreased so
much that the senses are put under pressure. Humans, animals, beasts and birds all
start to become subjected to the senses of the night and distanced from the
senses of the day.
Every wise human feels that in the late afternoon a state of
tiredness and weakness draws upon one. The Asr Prayer prevents tiredness and
weaknesses overtaking one, to the extent that it protects the brain becoming
affected negatively. The conscious of the one who performs ablution and the Asr
Prayer is strengthened so much that one can easily accept the subconscious and
become closer to the soul. The brain becomes prepared to receive spiritual stimulation.
