The Reward of Fajr Namaz

Image of sunset

A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr Prayer. He got dressed, made his wudu (ablution) and made 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 again, he fell again 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 yet again was on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid this time 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 profusely 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 Shetan (The Devil/Satan)"

The man was shocked at this reply. Shetan 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 that 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 Shetan 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.

 

 

May Allah (Subhana Ho Wataallah) grant us a perfect Muslim Heart we all do Prayers with our Heart and Soul.

Ameen
