This phenomenon is known as salat or Prayer. It is this very Prayer which incinerates evil, and leaves behind a divine light and brilliance in its stead, so that this may serve as a shining lamp for the seeker on their path in the face of dangers and perils; and so that it may show a seeker all the rubbish, debris, thorns and stones that may obstruct their way, thus safe guarding them. It is in this state that the verse:
(Surely, Prayer restrains one from indecency and manifest evil)
(29:46)
becomesapplicable, because notin their hand,rather, in the niche oftheir heartisa shining lamp. Thisrankisattained through utmost humility, through complete self- effacement, through lowliness and absolute obedience. How then can such an individual even think of sin? Such a one can never disbelieve, nor turn their gaze towards indecency. Therefore, such an individual experiences such pleasure and such satisfaction that I am at a loss for words to explain it fully.
