Prayer

Does your Prayer prevent you from lying, eating haram, taking bribe, taking interest (Riba) and backbiting or complaining? Or has your prayer cleaned you from malice, temptation greed, arrogance, vanity, lust and love of the materialistic world and the answer to this will be negative despite the fact that Allah Almighty has stated in the Quraan, 41:30, “Verily, those who say “Our Lord is Allah (Alone) and then say stand firm, on them the Angels will descend (at the time of their death)(saying) “Fear not, nor grief! But receive glad tidings of paradise, which you have been promised!
It is because we have declaration of practical knowledge and physical action and we lack in spiritual education and mystic practices and there for our heart is not satisfied. Due to our inferior faith even with prayers and devotion we remain empty handed. We know Allah Almighty. However due to the lack of   knowledge of observation we cannot recognise his divinity. Therefore we have not reached the level of Ihsan (obligation). We need to remember that we need Allah Almighty and Allah Almighty does not need us!
Hazrat Sayed Sheikh Abdul Qadir May Allah Almighty be pleased with them him, “A person who cannot recognise the Allah Almighty how can one you pray to the Almighty”. Regarding the level of Ihsan. What is the level of Ihsan? This question was put forward to our Beloved Hazrat Mohammed  and he replied, “Ihsan is this, that when you perform your prayer by visualising Allah Almighty, it is that if you eliminate your existence (remove the veil from your ego) you will see His divinity and He will see you”.
