If performed with presence of the heart, the prayer educates him by instilling discipline and self-restraint, keeping him away from sins, indecency, and evil by purifying his heart with the clean and spiritual nourishment of the prayer. It is also the source of tranquility and happiness and obliterates anxieties through familiarity with the Beloved.
