prayer

“Prayer is something deeper than words. It is present in the soul before it has been formulated in words. And it abides in the soul after the last words of prayer have passed over our lips.”

I think it depends on the level of spirituality one has on his faith and also the upbringing as a child. Samir never went to jk as from one of his posts which he posted in this forum (see below) suggests that he was "khane ka chor", so one can understand why he is arguing and questioning our faith ...

Spiritually, He is in Khane, but Can He be there physically?


MHI can be physically present in Jamat Khana if he wants to, only you and I cannot see him present. A person who is not an ismaili has witnessed that he has seen MHI walk in and out of Jamat Khana many times early in the morining ...
