25 MAY 1905 213 A Revelation The Promised Messiahas said: This revelation was received last night: أُرِيدُ مَا تُرِيدُوْنَ I desire what you desire. Since my desires for all friends who I pray for are the same, it is for this reason that there are glad tidings in this [revelation] for all. This revelation indicates the acceptance of prayer, meaning, 'Our desire is in accord with your desire. Hadrat Maulawi Noor-ud-Deen submitted that this is in accord with this revelation in the Holy Quran : أَيْنَمَا تُوَلُوا فَثَمَّ وَجُهُ اللَّهِ The Times for Acceptance of Prayer Addressing Sheikh Rahmatullah, the Promised Messiahas said: I am praying for you. You should also pray at that time. Firstly, 3 o'clock at night is a good time for Tahajjud Prayer. No matter how weak a person may be, there is no harm for him in getting up at 3 a. m. Secondly, when the sun has risen well, I sit [to pray] 1. Withersoever you turn, there will be the face of Allah Sūrah al-Baqarah, 2:116). [Publisher]
