Hażrat Umar used to cry with such force in Prayer that the sound of it would even reach the last row. Once Hażrat Umar was leading the Fajr Prayer and the
other companions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) were following behind him. Suddenly an unfortunate malicious
person holding a dagger came forward and stabbed Hażrat Umar in his blessed belly. Hażrat Umar fainted
and fell to the ground. Despite the
occurrence of this horrific incident the Holy Prophet's companions praying
behind Hażrat Umar remained unaware of this.
Hażrat Abdul Rahman bin A'uf stepped ahead and completed the obligations of Imāmat (leadership in Prayer). Only after the completion of the Nafl Prayer did the companions of the
Holy Prophet realise what had
happened and went to assist Hażrat Umar.

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.
