“When a human being stands for prayers,. God's Blessings descend upon him from the sky; the angels circle him around and one of them says., If this prayer-offerer would have known the worth of his prayer, he would never have broken his concentration (towards God) throughout the prayer.” [^6] The Holy Prophet (S) has said: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إذا قام العبد المؤمن في صلاته نظر الله إليه أو قال: أقبل الله عليه - حتى ينصرف، وأظلته الرحمة من فوق رأسه إلى افق السماء, والملائكة تحفه من حوله إلى افق السماء، ووكل الله به ملكا قائما على رأسه يقول له: أيها المصلي لو تعلم من ينظر إليك ومن تناجي ماالتفت ولا زلت من موضعك أبدا.
“When a believer stands for prayer, God-Almighty looks at him until he finishes it, His blessing covers him from the sky; the angels circle him around and God-Almighty assigns an angel who says: 'Oh prayer offerer! If you would have known -who is looking at you and with whom are you communicating ? You would never have paid your attention towards any other thing, and you would never have been deviated from this position.” [^7] 1.
Heart's Presence in Prayer The Prayer is a celestial formula and Divine electuary, every part of which contains a hidden mystery. It is a means of love, communication, and remembrance of the Lord of the Universe. It is the best means of attaining perfection, spiritual ascension, and God's Nearness. According to Islamic traditions the prayer has been called -a believers heavenly journey ( Mairaj ) which protects him from moral indecencies.
It is such a pure sparkling stream of spirituality that whosoever enters into it five times a day will purity his soul from all sort of pollution and contamination.
