The traveler, after his ablutions started of with recitation of Quran, then his nawafil, followed by Azkar, his routine for the last many decades. the routine was his spiritual life blood and source of his inner peace and calm.

"No my child, do not fear" he smiled, seeing her alarmed.

"I cannot guarantee that we will ever hear them again however, it has been many a times, in my life, that i have encountered them. Actually the maximum evidence is at thought process level. However, you cannot experience the same, as you do not have an actual human neural net. And while all humans have a working thought mechanism, most cannot train their brains to distinguish between outside and inside thoughts, let alone control their thought process , once the attack begins."225Please respect copyright.PENANADbgtX7Gi1b
