Khanzab's Evil Plot

 *Khanzab's Evil Plot*

--------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

When shaitan sees the slave of Allah has not abandoned his prayer, has not delayed it, is doing it only for the Sake of Allah, he (shaytan) turns to the next trick - *which is to try and steal from our prayer*  either by letting our mind wander or by physically looking around.. Yes.. The Shaitaan tries to make us focus on anything and everything apart from Allah (swt), he reminds us to look at our clothes, accessories, daily schedules etc.

Evidence:

Al-Bukhaari (751) narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (ra) said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about looking around whilst praying, and he said: “That is something that the Shaytaan steals from a person’s prayer.”

Now,

*Who Is خنزب Khanzab?*

This happened to one of the companions of the prophet (sahabah) whose name is Uthman Bin Abi Al-Aas, (ra), so he came complaining to the Prophet (PBUH), and he said: "The Shaitan comes between me and my salat and causes me problems with my recitation." So the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said: *"That is a shaitan called Khanzab*, so if you feel his presence, seek refuge in Allah and blow a mist to your left three times." He said: "I applied this advice and Allah has rid me off him." 📚Sahih Muslim 2203.

Servants of Allah!

Each time you experience any distraction during swalat, it is Khanzab.. If you are still finding it difficult to establish obligatory prayers ontime, it is Khanzab.. If you are amongst those who doesn't have any business with voluntary nawafil especially Tahajjud bcos you believe that it is not compulsory, then, it is Khanzab.. If you are amongst those who have not yet started establishing Midnight Nawafil (Tahajjud) in your life, it is Khanzab.. *Or you are amongst those who use to Skip 3days out of every 7days in a week without waking up for Tahajjud* , it is Khanzab.. It is Khanzab.. It is Khanzab.. It is Khanzab!😃

Now,

*Since we know who Khanzab is and his mission, how can we outsmart him?*

The only best way to neutralize the Khanzab's mission is to increase our efforts in voluntary nawafil *so that we don't fall amongst the losers on the day of judgement* . Why because, the success of every believer on the day of judgement, lies on his or her obligatory swalawat.

Evidence:

Narrated Abu Hurayra (Ra) that, our beloved Prophet (PBUH) said: “Indeed the first deed by which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his Swalat. If it is complete, he or she is successful and saved, but if it is defective, he or she has failed and lost. So, if something is deficient in his or her obligatory (prayers) then Allah (swt) will say: ‘Look! Are there any voluntary (prayers) for my worshipper?’ So, with them, what was deficient in his or her obligatory (prayers) will be completed.....” 📚(Tirmizi)

Brothers & Sisters!

Of all the nawafl prayers, Tahajjud is the most beloved to Allah, most rewarding and beneficial.

Evidence:

That the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:👉 “The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.”📚(Muslim))

Therefore,

If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil (at least 2 rakaats, then, go back to catch up with your sleep) everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so.. It's not difficult bcos people are doing it everyday without missing.. It's all about priority!

Finally,

Abdullah ibn 

Amr (RA) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said to him: *“O `Abdullah, do not be like so and so! He used to pray at night and then he stopped doing that”*(📚Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Allah alone knows best

*Share to remind others*

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك
