I think about this regularly, but cant seem to find the answer. Some people say read salaah, quran, make zikr etc. and you will feel the connection. I can't feel it. Sometimes during salaah I feel extreme calmness and total ease, but I still cant see or feel the connection.

I guess what I am talking about is an overwhelming closeness or attachment that makes me want to do more, read more salaah, quran or zikr. A sense of connection that will make me stop any evil deeds in its tracks. Does it or can it exist? Can we get to such a state??

I suppose this might require answering by someone very knowledgeable in deen, perhaps a sheik or someone. Any assistance from the layman would also be appreciated.

Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
The reality of the five daily prayers, which are like a sort of Ascension, are a being received into the presence of the All-Glorious One of Beauty, the Beauteous One of Glory, Who is the True Object of Worship, as an instance of pure mercy. Declaring “God is Most Great!” (Allahu Akbar!), it is to traverse the two worlds either in fact, or in the imagination, or by intention, be divested of the restrictions of materiality, pass to a universal degree of worship or a shadow or form of universality, and being honoured with a sort of presence, it is to manifest the address of “You alone do we worship!” (everyone according to his own capacity); it is a most elevated attainment. The repetition of “God is Most Great! God is Most Great!” in the actions of the prayers indicates rising through the degrees of spiritual progress, and ascending from minor particulars to universal spheres, and is a concise title of the perfections of Divine sublimity which are beyond our knowledge. It is as if each “God is Most Great!” indicates traversing a step in the Ascension. To attain to a shadow or a ray of this reality of the prayers either in fact, or by intention, or with the imagination, is a great happiness.
