INFINITE MIND, FINITE WORLD

Now, I believe that if I had died in that earlier state, I might have died a death of ignorance. That’s why I say three ‘angels’ came to me. Now, I understand that when I die, I will die while engaged in the Prophetic Mission, leaving you with a better legacy. I would say, make prayer a part of your life, but never think or believe that if your prayer is fulfilled in the way you understand it, then it was a real prayer, and if it is not, then the prayer was wasted. This is not the case. Now, I want to share something very important with you. Generally, people think that there are some printed books of Quranic supplications or Masnun Duas (Prophetic prayers), and they recite them by rote learning, considering that to be prayer. But that is not true prayer. That is mere lip service. If a person is sincere, they may receive some reward, but this is not the essence of true prayer. What is true prayer? “When the door of supplication (dua) is opened for someone, the doors of mercy are opened for them.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi) What kind of prayer is this? Such a profound statement cannot refer to mere lip service. If you memorize a few phrases and recite them, can that open the doors of blessings for you? Is that possible?

These prayers come from within you, bubbling up spontaneously. The second type of prayer, as mentioned in the Hadith, always originates from a particular point of reference. When a storm stirs within you, you spontaneously express it in words. One prayer is something memorized, while the other is something that naturally flows from the heart, triggered by a specific reference point. This doesn’t mean we are equating ourselves with the prophets; rather, it’s a reference point that inspires heartfelt prayer. It has been said in this Hadith that there are two types of prayer: one spoken with words and one that overflows from the
