Fajar prayer and Devil
A man woke up early in order to
pray the Fajr prayer in the masjid.
He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.
On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He
got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed
his clothes,
made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid. On his
way to the masjid, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again,
got up,
brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed
his clothes,
made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.
On his way to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his
identity and the man replied 'I saw you fall twice on your way to the masjid,
so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.' The first man thanked him and the
two where on their way to the masjid. Once at the masjid, the first
man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the
answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in
and pray.
The man replied 'I am Satan.' The man was shocked at this
reply. Shaitan went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the
masjid and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself
and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I
made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay
home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid. Because of
that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household.
I was afraid if i made you fall one more time, then Allah will
forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that
you reached the masjid safely.'
So do not let Satan benefit from his actions. Do not put off a good
that you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might
receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve
that good.
