He extended his vision to reach millions of millions of trees lined for prayer and the humble hills and mountains, which seemed to be nearly cracking before God’s Magnificence. He went with his imagination further and passed the mountains to reach the animals and groups of fish and birds, different in types and colors. They were all praying and glorifying.
Then he visualized the picture of Kaaba surrounded with millions of praying people occupying all places in order to complete the universal prayer. Thus everything and everyone in the universe was prostrating to God, the Creator of the skies and earth. Looking at another part of that picture, on a small corner, there were small groups of people scattered each prostrating to something like an idol. Those deviated groups seemed like ill spots in a beautiful portrait. The young man got up late.
He didn’t sleep much, but he didn’t feel like sleeping more. He was happy that he didn’t miss the Morning Prayer because he slept after performing the prayer. He has felt spiritual satisfaction because of the previous night and his participation in the universal prayer with the rest of creatures that were worshiping God. He compared his feelings to those of the ones who are suffering from emptiness.
He also compared his feelings to those that he had before he found God himself following the lessons that he received from his father. He got up from his bed to find out that his books, which he had left scattered, were organized on his desk and his clothes, which he had left everywhere, were put in their proper places. “Who did that?” He asked. His mother greeted him and told him that breakfast was ready.
He greeted his mother and said: “Who has tidied up my room and clothes and put everything into its place?” “No one”, she replied. S No one? How could this be? M No one. Did you leave the window open before you went to bed? S Oh... yes... yes! M Maybe the wind is the one that moved your books and clothes and then they got organized without intending to be so. S Mom! Are you kidding? What are you saying? M This might happen. You know that powerful winds may do something like that.
S This is impossible, Mom! It must be you who did it. M No! Never! I didn’t enter your room since yesterday. Well, come on son to have your breakfast. He left his room while still thinking of what has happened. Once he entered the living room, he got shocked by something even stranger.
