CALLING YOU OUT FOR SALAAH\NAMAAZ

Calling you out for prayers\salaah
I know many Muslims who do not pray their daily salaah or miss it. InshAllah i am writing this blog with the hope whoever reads it will not miss their salaah and encourage their dear ones and any Muslims to start if they havent yet.

Salat or Namaz is the most important and a complete system of worship in Islam. Literal meaning of salat is DUA. Considering salat as insignificant or taking it lightly (Istekhfaf-e-Salat) is a major sin. Both Quran and Ahadeeth emphasize that the salat must be given top priority in our daily life and must never be taken as a lightly or secondary thing.

We committ countless sins everyday whether it is talking to guys in a flirtatious way , letting them talk to u that way, music\tv, not fully covered up, cursing, gossip and whatnot. But, to human is to err thus, whats the harm if you take the time out to repent each day and ask Allah for forgiveness. And the easiest task is to pray five times a day think of all the sins you committ each day and to cover that up there isn't much good deeds we do. So, why leave the prayer and bring more misfortune and sins in to your account. Do not think i don't pray, i am a sinner. A true Muslim is those who repent for their sins and try everyday to not go back to the sinning path they were before. So, you can always start today with full faith and promise to never miss it.

Remember, Allah loves those who commit mistakes and repent: Prophet Muhammad said: “By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them.” [Sahih Muslim].
Hadeeth Holy Prophet (saw) : If salat is accepted by Allah, all good deeds will be accepted, & if salat is rejected, all good deeds will be rejected. Also, the first thing you will be asked on judgment day is whether you performed your daily salaah. So, imagine you stopping yourself from entering paradise KNOWINGLY.

Prophet (saw) said “Prayer is the pillar of your religion and one who intentionally forsakes his prayer has destroyed his religion. And one who does not guard the times of the prayers, shall be made to enter ‘Wayl’, which is a valley in Hell, as Allah, the Exalted, has said: “So woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers.” (Biharul Anwar,Volume 82, Page 202)
The Holy Prophet [s.a.w.w.] said: "Be careful of the prayers, for, on the Day of Resurrection, when Allah the Exalted, will bring the servant (for reckoning), the first thing that He will ask him about will be the prayer. If one brings it completely, he will be
of the people of salvation, otherwise, he will be thrown into Fire." (Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 82, p. 202)

There are terrible consequences if one misses salaah.The position of all four madhaahib–Maliki, Shafi’ee, Hanbali, and Hanafi–with no difference of opinion–is that a person who does not pray, ever, is not a Muslim.Think about that. Not a Muslim. Not anyone who has a chance of Paradise.
Hell is so scary people. Hell is so deep that if a stone were to be thrown into it, it would travel for 70 years to reaching at the bottom Hell is infested with venomous snakes and scorpions of the size of donkeys and if they were to bite a person then he or she willsuffer pain for 40 years
Are you scared yet? Allah looks at a person mercifully if they are scared of sinning and carry a repenting heart. Imagine how we cant even stand a humid summer day, we cant stand mosquito bites and if a pinch of blood comes out how it burns? Do you know how worse hell will be? When you pray atleast you can live with the satisfaction that you will be able to have the face to answer on the day of judgment.

Few things you could do when you are lazy is LOUDLY say ALLAH HUAKBAR when you wake up for fajr and iA. it will break your sleep. If you are lazy to do wudoo just close your eyes and picture hell and just run to the bathroom. Fight your sloth , fight the demon that is stopping you. You don't want shaitaan to win by taking you in his line of followers. When you stand up to pray, do not be lazy. Think of how you overcame the laziness to stand up to pray and whats the harm if you pray attentively? When you hear the adhaan, please, pray right away. Because if you don't pray on time , there's punishment for that as well and it will have you slacking to a point, you will miss the time\waqt.

There are punishments you will have to bear in your life if you miss your daily prayer, punishment while you die, there will be punishment in your grave and punishment on judgment day. Who will save you from these punishment? Not our Prophet (SAW), not our mother or friends. Who can save you from hell fire? its you who can just turn your fate around and bring the change for the better hereafter. Ameen.

Heres the end of this blog with the thought of today

Remember that actions are rewarded according to intention. If your alarm clock is not helping, I suggest you use the "buddy system." If you live with family or friends, have someone knock on your door and make sure you're awake. Even if they have to sprinkle some water on your face, have them do that.I have a friend who calls me on fajr time... lately, i stay awake till fajr cuz i m sucha looser.

ten ways of protection from shaitaan (greatly needed after Ramadan).

So, i have been reading about seeking repentence and Surah's online and in other books. So, i decided to share few things i do to be protected from shaitaan and u can do that as well to save you from daily sins. iA.

1. Seeking refuge with Allah from Shaytan. Allah the Most High said, “And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.” [41:36]

2. Recitation of the two soorahs al-Falaq and an-Nas, as they have wondrous effect in seeking refuge with Allah from his evil, weakening Shaytan and protection from him. This is why the Messenger, (PBUH) said: “No person seeks refuge with anything like the Mu`awwidhatayn (soorahs al-Falaq and an-Nas)”. [an-Nasaa’i, 5337]

3. Recitation of Ayat al-Kursi (2:255).

4. Recitation of Soorah al-Baqarah. The Messenger, (PBUH) said, “The house in which al-Baqarah is recited is not approached by Shaytan.” [Muslim]

5. The final part of al-Baqarah. The Messenger, (PBUH) said, “Whoever recites the two last verses of al-Baqarah at night they will suffice him.” [Muslim]

6. Recitation of the beginning of Soorah Mu’min (Ghafir), until His saying, “wa ilayhi-l-maseer” (to Him is the destination). (i.e. “Ha. Meem. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing, the forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.” [40:1-2])

7. Saying “la ilaha ill Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa `ala kulli shay’in qadir” (there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He has no partner, His is the Dominion and Praise, and He is able to do all things) a hundred times.

8. The most beneficial form of protection from Shaytan: Abundance of remembrance of Allah, the Exalted.

9. Ablution and prayer, and they are from among the greatest means of protection, especially at the time of emergence of anger and desire

10. Abstinence from excess speech, food and mixing with people.
