It is composed of a group of sincere instinct, pure saying and flawless deeds. Repeating this combination daily, day and night, plants the seeds of all other good deeds in a man\u2019s soul and increases his sincerity. As it is known, a man doesn\u2019t remain as he is. Sometimes you would see him in a good mood and sometimes in a bad mood. He may be happy for something, but something else may disturb this happiness. There are many kinds of prayer: attendance prayer, traveling prayer, disease prayer, a prayer when feeling afraid, Jum\u2019a prayer, Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha prayers, funeral prayer, irrigation prayer, and performance prayer\u2026<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As if by this diversity, it helps a man. It cures his diseases, pain and troubles. It attracts sustenance and pushes ills and distress to be as a continuous repair for a muslim believer. If you search for the impacts of prayer on a man, you will see him honest, faithful, contented, loyal, compassionate, humble, and just. You will see him abstaining from lying, betrayal, greed, treachery, anger, arrogance and injustice. So he who is characterized with these traits, will be always connected to his master almighty who will bestow him with mercy that no one else is bestowed with. Ismail bin Al Imam Mosa bin Jaafar narrates that his brother Al Imam Ali bin Mosa Al Rida says that his father says that his grandfather says:\u201d Al Imam Ali bin Al Hussein(a.s) was asked:\u201d Why do those who spent the night in prayer have the most beautiful faces\u201d so he (a.s) answered:\u201d because they were isolated with God almighty so He attired them with his light\u201d. [1]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We also praise what ibn Ammar says that our master Al Imam Abi Abdullah Al Sadeq (a.s) says:\u201dThe night prayer brightens one\u2019s face, improves morals, fragrances one\u2019s breath, attracts sustenance, pay off the debt, removes distress and purifies the sight\u201d.[2] To show the good impacts we mention that Yaaqub bin Zaid says that Abi Abdullah (a.s) says:\u201d He who performs the night prayer and complains about poverty is a liar because the night prayer guarantees the day\u2019s sustenance\u201d. [3] Abdullah bin Sannan narrates that he asked Al Imam Al Sadeq (a.s) about the verse:\u201d The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration\u201d[4] , so Al Imam answered;\u201d It is spending the night praying\u201d.[5] Al Imam Al Sadeq narrates from his fathers (peace be upon them): The Commander of the Faithful (a.s) says:\u201d If a praying man knows what he is covered with of God\u2019s glory when, he wouldn\u2019t like to raise his head from prostration\u201d[6] The Baqer of knowledge (a.s) also narrates that God\u2019s prophet (pbuh) says:\u201d If a servant starts his praying, God looks at him or approaches him. He almighty bestows him with his mercy from above his head, reaching the sky, angels surrounds him from all sides, until he finishes and says: O you prayer, if you know who\u2019s looking at you and whom you\u2019re supplicating, you won\u2019t look around or leave your place ever\u201d.[7]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This hadith is enough for people of knowledge. This approach to God bestows the servant with distinctions and lights that no one other than God knows, no man can understand, and no heart can think about.
