The Bitter Reality

 *The Bitter Reality*

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

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Without complaining or given excuses, we do endure and sacrifice to wake up early despite our tiredness and love for sleep JUST to meet up with our dates (eg - traveling, businesses or office work etc). We do this everyday in most cases without complaining. Yes. Even with headache, fever or mare tiredness.

My People!

Each one of us pines after an entrance to Paradise, reserved for the sincere believers in the hereafter. But, are we sincerely striving to attain our place in it?

Servants of Allah!

I have seen a servant of Allah who was stung by a big scorpion 🦂 in the night around 9:30PM 5years ago when he travel out of the town city, and very unfortunate for him, it happened in the village where there's no modern health facilities to get himself treated.. He was left with no option than to travel to nearby village for treatment using herbs 🌿. Wallahi Tallahi this man could not sleep throughout that night because of pains BUT that did not prevent this man from waking up for Tahajjud. Yes. He squeeze inside pains to establish dry ablution (Tayamum), pray 2rakaats sitting down, make dua and went back to bed.

The same person,

Few months after that, traveled to his hometown to see his parents. While sleeping in middle of the night, few minutes before the due alarm time for Tahajjud, 2 small wicked scorpions 🦂🦂 lunch on him another attack. He wake up, kill the two scorpions, eat small quantity of onion 🧅and establish ablution for Tahajjud. Yes. And guess what he did that faithful night❗Wallahi Tallahi he recited suratul baqarah complete (286 verses) in the first Rakaat standing and one short surah in the second Rakaat. As God will have it, before he finished the first Rakaat, the pains of scorpion 🦂 bite vanished. Allahu Akabar!

My People!

If you are the one who experience these two trial of scorpion 🦂 bites, how would you do??? Will you still establish Tahajjud??? Be honest with yourself!

Today,

Many Muslims don't care much about Tahajjud.  And few MUSLIMS who pray Tahajjud don't do it everyday. Some of us who pray Tahajjud do go on vacation because of ordinary headache, fever and typhoid or stomach pain.

Have we even forgotten that we will not gain access to entering the smallest room inside paradise if our obligatory prayers is not BALANCED-UP with voluntary prayers❓Yes. This is true because:👇

It is established that the success of every believer lies in his or her obligatory prayers. If it is complete, he or she is successfully saved. And where there's shortfalls, our nawafil prayers are used to fill in the missing gaps created in our obligatory prayers. 📚Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi‌ 413

Also,

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

Muslim Faithful!

'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

Therefore,

I want to use this medium to remind you that, if u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil *(Tahajjud)* everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so immediately.. Yes.. It's not difficult bcos people are doing it everyday without missing.. It's all about priority!


سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك
