Akhy, kindly do me a favour and shed more light on what the above posted hadith is all about. Jazakallah khairan.

I dont think I am knowledgeable enough to give a commentary on Hadith bro. But I will say what I understood from the Hadith. I think it means toward the end of times there will be so much trails and afflictions (Dajjal etc) that to live according to Islam will become very difficult, similar to holding hot coal.

@Araboy
I dont see you back in this thread. Got busy?

“This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for those who have taqwa; who believe in the unseen, and who establish Salah, and spend out of what we have provided for them”
(Quran 2: 2-3)

"Iman is what settles in the heart and it is proven by Actions"

[Ibnu Al Qayyim Al Jawzi]

Jazakallahu Khairan.
I have heard this story from my Imam long time back. I couldnt recollect it properly. Thanx for reminding.

Deen4me:
Shaytan will never make you sin directly, he will always trick you using Waswasah and he is more patient than any of us. So we should always seek refuge in Allah from Shayatn. Never think you have enough knowledge or are strong enough to take on Shaytan. This is why the Scholars of Islam are the ones with the most Taqwa, fear of Allah.

Very true. It is Allah who provides us with the protection. So we should seek refuge in Him.

And the Moral of the story is Anyone 

Moral of the story is:
" Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things,
so beware of following him in small things." - Prophet's (Saw) Last Sermon

This is exactly how people stop Salah. Initially it will be delaying it. Then waiting till the last moment. Then missing it n the finally stops Salah altogether.


Auzubillahi mina shaytanirrajeem.
I seek refuge from Allah from the outcast Satan

''Knowledge and practice are twins, and both go together. There is no knowledge without practice, and no practice without knowledge''
[ Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA)]

Brothers lets not turn this to an argument. lolz. We have much better things to do
Salaam.

Araboy:
Since you ask Yes I do work my brother and I own couple furniture stores here in New York city and we import fish products

SubhanAllah, May Allah shower Barakah in your business. Since you own your own business, time is not the issue for Salat.

Araboy:
we don't agree as for performing salat I m not the hypocrite type I am very skeptic about religion and it's role in people life

When I mentioned about Salat, you mentioned about religion and its role in people's life. Can you share more about your views about it.
Do you think Salat is not necessary? Is religion spoiling the life of people in this world? etc etc. I want to hear more about your opinion.

Subhanallah. Look at the bright side, you are aware of the importance of Salah unlike many. Brother i too had similar problems faced by you. I have a small request. Lets stop focusing about mistake that other Muslims do for the time being. Lets concentrate on ourselves a bit. Lets encourage each other and at the same time self evaluate our own deeds.

As for me I am not working at the moment. So Alhamdulillah time is not that much of a problem for me now. But I am afraid how it will be when I start going to work.
How about you do you go to work now? Is it possible that you can start praying atleast one of the Salat everyday regularly. How abt Isha? I hope you are not working at night time.

@Araboy
We can discuss here, InshAllah.

Think twice before leaving prayer:

Buraidah (radiallahu anh) reported: Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa salam) said,
"That which differentiates us from the kuffar (disbelievers) and the hypocrites is our performance of Salat. He who abandons it, becomes a kafir (disbeliever).''
[At-Tirmidhi].


Think about the benefit of performing prayer:

Abu Hurairahu (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
"Say, if there were a river at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day, would any soiling remain on him?''
They replied, "No soiling would left on him.''
He (PBUH) said, '' That is the five (obligatory) Salat (prayers). Allah obliterates all sins as a result of performing them.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim

I thought i would initiate a thread where we could discuss the importance of Salat. It is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is what differentiates a true Muslim from nonbelievers. It is obligatory on every Muslim. But, at present we often ourselves experience times when we miss Salat. At first its just one or two then a full five prayers, then days pass by without a single salat, then Juma'a becomes the only time when your head touches the ground for Sujood and Even worse to missing Juma'a prayer.

Most of us have gone through this dreaded phase. We forget Salat is the first deed that will be examined at the Day of Resurrection.
So lets remind each other the Virtues of Salat in this thread.
Remember to be humble while giving advice and please do not turn  this into a debate thread. (I hope the moderators help me with it)

May Allah give the blessing to Perform our Salat on its prescribed time,
and make it free from mistakes. Also Accept our deeds.
Ameen.

Araboy:
Thank you for your advice and kindness You give hope that some good Muslims like you still there to Chakula sorry for derailing your thread and to Azharuddin maybe we can catch up on new thread

Sure bro.

There might be a lot of Muslims going in the wrong way, that does not mean Islam is wrong. Islam is the way of Allah which is the right path. There will be always transgressors but shouldnt we try to 'enjoin good and forbid evil ' as it is said in the Quran. Dont you think you should make Salah and make dua for yourself and others to be guided in the right path. Come on brother never loose hope in Allah the Almighty, his Mercy is very very vast.
Why dont you start with Salat brother, you must already know this: "The similitude of the five (obligatory) Salat is like a river running at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day.'' I m sure you are not only knowledgable but you also have it in you to make it into action InshAllah.

May Allah guide all of us in the right path and increase our good deed and accept it.
Ameen.

Araboy:
It's just because I ' m not a religious or practicing Muslim

What happened in between, You lost faith in Allah?

Thuwayr reported his father as saying that
Sayyidina Ali held him by his hand aid, "Come, let us pay a sick visit to Husayn ." There they found Sayyidina Abu Musa (RA) with him.
Sayyidina Ali asked him, “Have you come to pay a sick visit, 0 Abu Musa, or just a regular visit?” [/i]He said, [i]“I have come to visit the sick.” [/i]So, Ali said, [i]“I heard Allah’s Messenger (SAW) say : If a Muslim pays visit to a sick Muslim in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for him till evening, and if he pays him the sick visit at night then seventy thousand angels pray for him till morning, and there is (also) a garden for him in Paradise.”

[Abu Dawud 3098, Ibn e Majah 1442]

Araboy:
btw I don't pray myself

Oh brother thats so unfortunate. Is it because of your work timings or something?

chakula:
Noted.

I got this sunnah from one of your posts, JazakAllahukhairan.

Weekly reminder:
Do not forget to recite Suratul Dhukhan today, remember we will get the prayer of 70,000 angels.
The following recitation is only 7mins. 7min is a small time considering the fact we will get the prayer of 70,000 angels.
May Allah give us the blessing to do more Ibadah. Ameen.

It is reported that Sufyân b. Uyainah Allâh have mercy on him said,
"The intelligent person is not one who merely knows what is good and what is bad.
The intelligent person is one who, when he sees what is good, follows it, and when he sees evil, shuns it."

Abû Nuaym, Hilyah Al-Awliyâ`, Vol. 4 p16.

It is reported that, The Prophet SAW was asked, "Which deed is most beloved to Allah?"
He said, "The one that is continuous, even if it is little."
[Sahih al-Bukhari]

I think the word disbeliever will suffice for infidel.
Brother please continue with the opening post, its a good one.

congoshine:
So because a Foolishtani jihadi went on a suicide mission in Mumbai (your country) killing many civilians,it means all muslims are liable ?? I suspect you're actually from foolishtan Pakistan.

Well go figure. You just wanna make stupid arguments. I don't care what you think.
HasbunAllahu Wani'amal Wakeel.

Can Christians/Jews justify these killings against Muslims?
