After performing prayers, I raised my hands to pray to God, saying "O Allah!" As I uttered the phrase, I was shown (intuitively) the same two Rial coin which I left in my pocket (and held back from giving to the beggar)!" There are some points in this intuition to be pondered about: 1 The analogy of taking one's vain desire as his god, as the HolyQur'an clearly asserts: (أفرأيت من اتخذ الهه هواه) (Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire?) (al-Jathiyah: 23) 2 To the same extent that man obeys his vain desire, he will be away from God; he is, rather, a slave to what he desires and thus "God" turns into a "two Rial coin" in the realm of intuition!

It is worthwhile to give as charity what you like best. A believer should give away in the way of his Beloved what he is fond of rather than what is of no interest to him to give away: (لن تنالوا البر حتى تنفقوا مما تحبون) (By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you give (freely) of that which you love.) (Ale 'Imran: 92) The Way to Proximity to God The reverend Shaykh believed that the way to attain proximity to God is through doing benevolence to people.

If a person wants to find a proper state of mind for prayer and to enjoy dhikr and munajat with God, he must be at the service of God's creatures for God's sake.

He commented in this regard as follows: "If you want to be graced with proximity to God and take pleasure in whispering prayer to Him, practice benevolence to God's creatures by learning it from the (a) (about whom the Holy Qur'an says): ويطعمون الطعام على حبه مسكيناُ ويتيماُ وأسيرا إنما نطعمكم لوجه الله لانريد منكم جزاءً ولا شكوراٌ (And they feed for the sake of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive -( saying), 'We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.) (al-Insan: 8, 9) He further said: "What creates in man a spiritual state of servitude to God after performing obligatory duties is doing good to people." What should we implore from God?

One of the most significant issues in supplication is that the supplicant should know what to say in his whispered prayer to God and what to request from Him.
