From
morning until afternoon man remains occupied in the acquisition of the means of
livelihood or engaged in organising food and drink, all which are required to
keep life established. The nerves get tired and the body gets exhausted. When
one performs ablution after working hard for the fulfilment of physical demands
one is liberated from tiredness. When one then performs Prayer one is supplied
with spiritual nourishment. A world of delight, pleasure and joy is enlightened
upon one.
Once
the intensity of the sun has reached its peak and the sun slowly begins to set,
a gas is expelled from the inside of the earth.
This
gas is very poisonous, to the extent that if one is affected by it, one becomes
inflicted by all sorts of diseases. The mental system becomes so disturbed that
one could be given the supposition of a mental person. During this time if one
is mentally occupied in worship, the divine lights of Prayer protect one from
this poisonous gas. The divine lights cause this poisonous gas to become
inactive.
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.
