There are many subjects which are difficult for man to solve. But during prayer and supplication they are unveiled and there is nothing that man cannot find out. Muhammed said: 'Prayer is a ladder by which everyone can ascend to heaven.’ If one's heart is cut from the world his prayer is the ascension to heaven.
