I hope you will never miss your Salah after reading this. Inshallah.
I heard somewhere that "Never miss your Salah whether you are killed or burned."
Story of a Man:
A friend was a sad and heartbreaking story that I heard on the news many years ago of a San Diego Man who was driving home from work just like he did every other weekday. But unfortunately, this day was very different, and that's because he was going home and he was getting closer to his neighborhood and then he heard Siren and became very concerned, and he got closer to closer to his community he saw smoke billowing and his heart dropped, and I want you to put yourself in his situation, and as he turned on to his street he saw police cars and ambulances and fire trucks everywhere, and as he came closer and closer to his house finally he made it as close as he could he looked
His house was engulfed in flames, and his family was still inside and. The result was his two children, his wife, and his mother-in-law all died. Now try to imagine being him. We can't do that unless you've lost somebody very close to you, but try to imagine, try to capture just a sliver of the immense sorrow that he must have had at that moment, his family killed his house burned down.
Now, Listen to this hadith of the Prophet(s.a.w); he said the person that misses the Asr Prayer (Intentionally) it's as if they lost their family and all their wealth
.
How can we, after hearing this hadith ever, miss another Salah again? We should at least make the intention and the resolve to try to pray our fard prayers if we're not doing it already because of the immense reward we lose for not praying that prayer and perhaps the tremendous amount of punishments that will come to us for deliberately missing that prayer. The Prophet (s.a.w) said your Salah is the first thing that will be inquired that you will be held to account for on the Day of Judgment. If it is sound, you will be successful, and if it lacks in any way, you will be doomed.
In another hadith, the Prophet (s.a.w) said that if someone leaves off the prayer means that that don't pray, they are disbeliever and then finally in Surah 74 Ayah 42 and 43; a conversation is conveyed to us, is documented of the people in paradise who look down on the people of hell and ask them what caused you to be in hell? And they responded. We were not of those who prayed.
Reminder:
You can live your life according to your desire and call it Freedom or live according to the laws provided by God himself and let others call it a caged mindset.
But you know you're caged anyway. Either by God's law or by your lower Nafs.
Which one would you prefer?
Nice... subhanallah 😊
