It is also desirable for the worshiper
to make his heart present during all the matters which are related to the
prayer. When he hears the call of the Mu’adhin he should liken it to the call
on the Day of Judgement and set out to answer it with vigour and determination.
Let him consider (the reality of) what he is responding to and in what state
his body comes to the prayer. When he has covered himself (for the prayer) he
should realize that the purpose behind it is to conceal the shamefulness of his
body from the creation. Let him also realize his deficiencies and defects and
the scandals and disgraces of his inner self which none can know except the
Creator and which none can cover or hide. Only remorse, modesty and fear can
expiate for them.
