See the mercy of ALLAH on us
A man woke up early in order to pray theFajr prayer
in the masjid. He got dressed, made his aboloution
and was onhis way to the masjid.
On his way to the masjid, the man fell andhis clothes
got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and
headedhome. At home, he changed his clothes, made his
ablution, and was, again,on his way to the masjid.
2nd time, On his way to the masjid, he fellagain and
at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself
off andheaded home. At home he, once again, changed
his clothes, made hisablution and was on his way to
the masjid.
On his way 3rd time to the masjid, he met a man
holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and
the manreplied "I saw you fell twice on your way to
the masjid, so I brought alamp so I can light your
way."
The first man thanked him profusely and thetwo were on
their way to the masjid. Once at the masjid, the
firstman asked the man with the lamp to come in and
pray Fajr with him. Thesecond 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. Satan went on to
explain, "I saw you on your way to the masjid and it
was me who made you fall. When you went
home, cleaned yourself and went back on yourway 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, butrather, 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.
Donot 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.
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.
