Listen, stand up in prayer during the night*, for you are a candle, and at night a candle stands and burns. *Qur'an: Surah Al-Muzzamil (The Enwrapped One), 73:20
- Mathnawi [IV, 1456]
Comment: This poetically reminds us importance of prayer, the importance of prayer in night especially. Just note the comparison of the human soul with candle and praying to burning candle. See we are candles and our prayers are the light that emits from us. Make life a prayer. Pray ceaselessly. Just as the life-purpose of candel is burning, life purpose of a human being is pray with awareness. Again make life a prayer. Start now. Why to postpone?
