The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: Three things of your world is dear to me sweet scent, wife, and prayer which has been made doll to my eyes. It appears from the above Hadith that prayer is not within the five senses but it is included within the sixth sense of the soul.

He who has no heart cannot grasp it. Man and beast are equal in the happiness of the five senses. If love of Allah is considered as appertaining to those five senses, then it is impossible to love Him.

The sixth sense is intellect, light, heart, mind or soul. The inner eye is more powerful than the external eye and the mind's eye is more powerful than the external eye. The beauty which can be perceived through intellect is more than that of eyesight. As the beauties of the world appear pleasing to the external eye, the sight of the existence of Allah and the beauties of His creation are thousand and thousand times more pleasing to him. So love of Allah cannot be denied,. But he who has not crossed the limit of a beast cannot perceive it.
