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 themasjid.
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 yourway 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 tocome 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. He
replied
I am Shatan.' The man was shocked at this reply. Shatan 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
tothe masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a
secondtime, 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?
