‎Self-Activity:‎

‎‎‎‎I have to devote a period of time everyday to myself as the prophet ‎‎(cpth) ‎recommended, it starts one hour, less or more, before the sunset, that is to ‎contemplate how the shining light of day replaced with the darkness of night ‎which creeps smoothly and quietly little by little from the east full of moisture, ‎silence and coolness until it spreads overwhelming everything and covers the ‎earth’s surface. Notifying how this changing happens gently which sure ‎indicates to the existence of The Almighty God Who supervises and controls ‎this marvelous universe‎.‎

After that, I get up to perform Almaghreb prayer reciting within it this holy ‎fortress (Al-layl) or some of its Verse‎s with full comprehension of their sublime ‎meanings.‎

Also, I have to do so having about one hour in the morning after Alfajer prayer ‎continuing to the sunrise, this is just to think deeply how this darkness turned ‎into lightness smoothly and quietly, and how this grand sun rises little by little ‎until it fills the sky with a golden brightness and glow, what a Merciful Divine ‎Hand, He is God Who revolves the earth making the sunrise and sunset!!, what ‎this Godly Might which holds the sun with its brightness and rotates the earth ‎around its axis in tenderness,!! After this blessed meditation, I pray Ad-Duha ‎prayer. Actually our Master Ibrahim, Master Mohammad and all the prophets ‎‎‎‎(cptt)‎‎‎‎ [4] contemplated and thought deeply of the sings of this universe‎ ‎seeking to teach people how to attain the true certain belief. God Says {...and ‎glorify the Praises of your Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) ‎setting (Fortress Qaf, Verse 39).
