SALATUL FAJR

SALATUL
FAJR
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 profusely and the two were 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
Shaytan.
'The man was shocked at this reply. Shaytan
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 Shaytan benefit from his actions.
Do not put off a good
deed 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.

If forwarding this message will bother you, or
take too much time from you, then don't do it, but
you will not get the reward of it, which is great.
Imagine, that when you forward this, you receive 240
good deeds, and so will I for sending it to
you! Wouldn't it be easy just to press
'Forward' and receive this reward?
