He said,
"What is meant by the Hadith of the Prophet s.a.w., as-salatu mi'raj ul-mu'min ("Prayer is the Ascension of the Believer"), is a clear indication of the levels of Real Prayer, in which the worshipper ascends to the Divine Presence and there is manifest in him awe and reverence and obedience and humility, such that his heart reaches a state of contemplation through his prayer. This will lead him to a vision of the Divine Secrets. That was the description of the Holy Prophet's prayer. In the life-history of the Prophet s.a.w., it is said that when the Prophet s.a.w. would reach that state, even the people outside the city could hear coming from his chest a sound which resembled the humming of bees."
One of the scholar of Bukhara asked him, "How can a worshipper reach the Divine Presence in his prayer?" He replied, "By eating from the hard-earned sweat of your brow and by remembering Allah Almighty and Exalted inside your prayer and outside your prayer, in every ablution and in every moment of your life."
