Treasure House of Prayers — Page 166
PRAYERS 166 generations acquired Divine characteristics. The blind started to see. The dumb began to expound Divine knowledge. It created such a revolution in the world, which no eye had seen and no ear had ever heard. Do you know what was this phenomenon? These were the nightly prayers of one, who had lost himself in God, which created such tumult in the world. It manifested remarkable events, which were beyond the capacity of this unlettered and helpless prophet. " ِ ِاَﻟﻠّٰﻬُﻢ َّ ﺻَﻞ ِّ وَﺳَﻠِّﻢ ْ وَﺑَﺎرِک ْ 2َﻠَﻴªْ ِ وَاٰﻟª ﺑِﻌَﺪَد هلِٰﺬِہ ªِ و َ ﺣُﺰْﻧ ªِّ وَﻏَﻤ ªَِّمه ُْ اﻻ ﻣﺔ َ وَ اَﻧْﺰِلْ 2َﻠَﻴªِْ اَﻧْﻮَارَر ﺣْﻤﺘ ِ اِىل َ اﻻَْﺑَﺪ. (Bark a tud-Du‘ a ’, page 16, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 6, page 9-11) Relating his own experiences of acceptance of prayer, the Promised Messiah as says: "I see from my own experiences, that the effect of prayers is greater than the effects of water or fire. In reality there is nothing more potent in the natural phenomenon. " (Bark a tud-Du‘ a ’ page 16, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 2, page 11) And he added: "In trials, prayers manifest singularly astonishing characteristics and the truth is that our God is recognised by the prayers alone. " (Malf uza t, vol. 2, page 147) He tells us of the power and strength he personally experienced and presented it as the essence of his life. A prayer, which is the result of the knowledge and blessings of God has a totally unique colour and aspect. It is something which annihilates the self. It is a fire, which dissolves and a magnetic power which pulls God's mercy towards itself. It is a death, which ultimately gives life. It is a fierce flood, which becomes an ark. It puts right all the ruined affairs.
