There are many things in life that cant be sensed or felt without self experience. I have spoken to many ppl about the value of prayers and its importance to bring us calmness, content, inner peace and happiness. To be honest no matter what to explain, no matter what to say, all words have no effects and sound to be like cold preaching. I myself, was in same situation long time ago when I was not performing prayers regularly (almost 17-18 years ago). Many persons tried to convince me, but their words to me were nothing more than cold words or straight instructions that I never felt or imagined how it could be. Faith wise, of course I knew I was wrong and felt guilty but still did not feel all comfort ppl used to tell me. Until one day when a turning point happened to me. This turning point was a hard situation that left its impacts on my life till now. Thanks Allah, he let me go through this hard situation to feel and live the beautiful feelings of being close and attached to Him. Frankly speaking, speaking to God in prayers were never as tasty and sweet as how it was during these days. Imagine it! just that very little you needs Gods help and support, almost helpless seeing all doors closed and key is only with God. At that time only, each and every word I was speaking to God, was coming not only from my heart but from each and every inch of my body and soul. Almost all day and night thinking over God and waiting for his help and support, Watching his words and guidelines, Fully attached to him, linking each incident to his supervision and care. Such experience is really inexpressible. I just can summarize it in few words saying: This situation did leave its impacts on me till now and I do feel very grateful to Allah that he let me go through this experience. Well, I just want to say one thing; Faith is not only a body action, rather it is something that starts in heart and spread every where after that through over body. Faith requires knowledge and solid belief as superstitions create doubts only and unrest in heart. Faith is Trust in God; Something that cant happen without knowledge and experience. faith fluctuates from weak to strong or strong to weak if we dont maintain it by being continuously attached to God. Faith is negatively impacted by sins or behaving stray from Gods way for that each sin or wrong deed is unconsciously developing new bad experience in heart about God and remove the shyness from it. Many things can be added but I prefer to stop at this point and to resume later.
