Principles of Islam
52. Spiritual Uplift
~ 159 ~
When this communion is established between God
and man, man can feel himself becoming imbued
with a special kind of peace. His eyes are moist with
tears. He starts receiving inspiration from God. It is
in moments such as these that man can rest assured
of his prayers being granted by God.
According to a
hadith
the Prophet Muhammad said
the highest form of worship is to pray as if you
were seeing God. We learn from this
hadith
the true
sign of a superior form of worship. The true sign is
for man to sense the presence of God during
worship, and feel that he has come close to God.
That is when he can experience the refreshing,
cooling effect of God’s love and blessings for man.
It is this feeling of closeness to God which is the
highest form of spiritual experience.
