Waking up for Fajr Prayer...the Rewards, A Story

Our beloved Rasulullah SAW once said that these 2 reka'at performed at the mesjid, the reward is better than the universe and everything inside it.

Do we have the "yakin" for ALLAH, his Rasul SAW and the deen that HE has decreed upon us?

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 profusively and the two where 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 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 I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and we nt 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 Satan benefit from his actions. Do not 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. 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?


Sahabatku,Jika hari ini aku terlalu gembira, sedarkanlah aku dgn amaran2 Allah.
Jika ku bersedih tanpa kata,pujuklah aku dgn tarbiah Pencipta.
Jika ku lemah sedarkanlah agar aku berubah.
Dan jika esok ku lena tanpa terjaga, iringlah lenaku dgn kalungan doa..
Berjanjilah sahabatku, ukhwah kita utk selamanya..
