✍️...
Ibn Al-Jawzi (رحمه الله) said : _"I have noticed that some people say salam (at the end of prayer) while the Imam is saying it and before completing their tashahhud. The Imam does not carry the saying of the tashahhud off from them (His perfomring it does not relieve them from doing it)."_
*[Talbis Iblis p242]*

▫️ *Not Performing Sunnahs (Non-obligatory Actions)*
➖➖➖
Iblis deceived some people causing them not to perform many of the Sunnan. Some used to pray congregational prayers, but not in the first rows. They said that Allaah only intended the nearness of the heart not the physical nearness.
Our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) said: _*"If people knew what was in the adhan and the first row of the prayer and could only draw lots for it, they would draw lots."*_
[Bukhari 116 and Muslim 1914].

And he (ﷺ) said again : _*"The best of men's ranks (in prayer) are those most in front, and the worst are those farthest back."*_
[Muslim 440]
Others do not put one hand on the other in prayer saying sometimes : 'I do not want to show humility of which my heart is empty.'
In fact : _*Abu Dãwud narrated that Ibn al-Zubayr (رضي الله عنه) said: "Putting one hand over the other is from the Sunnah."*_
[Abu Dãwud, 754].

And _*Ibn Masud (رضي الله عنه) was once praying with his left hand over his right, so the Prophet (ﷺ) switched them around.*_
[Abu Dãwud, 755]
Others read a lot in prayer but do not perform the Sunnan (nonobligatory parts) of prayer, and commit disliked things during it.
Once, Ibn Al-Jawzi (رحمه الله) visited a person during the day and found him reading aloud during voluntary prayers. He then told him that reading aloud during the day was disliked. He replied: I am repelling sleepiness away by reading aloud.

Then Ibn Al-Jawzi (رحمه الله) said: _"Sunnah should not be abandoned just so you can stay awake. And whenever you feel sleepy you should sleep because your body has rights over you."_ *[Talbis iblis p242]*

*May Allaah give us a good understanding of our deen and prevent us from devil deceptions.*.

▫️ *Regarding night prayer*
➖➖➖
Performing Night Prager is in fact very valuable and rewarding. However Iblis has used this chanel to deceive some worshipers of our community. Here are some of these deceptions.
- Some worshipers from our Community pray the entire night and they feel happier when performing night and duhã prayers more than obligatory prayers.
- Some fall asleep right before fajr and miss the obligatory prayer.
- ___*PAGE 7*___- ✍️...
-
- - Others wake up too lazy to work for sustaining their families.
- Others prevent their body to rest. In fact Ibn Al-Jawzi (رحمه الله) said :
_"I saw a Shaikh from among them named Husayn al-Qazwini walking a lot during the day in al-Mansur Masjid. When I inquired about this I was told that he does this so he does not fall asleep. This does not conform with teachings of Islam or with sound intellect"_
*[Talbis Iblis p.242]*.
___*PAGE 8*___.
✍️...
Our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) said: _*"Your body has a right over you, so wake up (when appropriate) and sleep (when appropriate) "*_
[Abu Dawud, 1369]
Anas (رضي الله عنه) said :
_*"The Prophet (ﷺ) entered and saw a rope extended between two poles, he said: 'What is this rope?' They said: 'it is a rope of Zainab, when she feels tired she hangs unto it.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Untie the rope, you should work actively until you feel tired, then you should rest."'*_
[Sahih Al-Bukhari 3 /278].
___*PAGE 9*___.
✍️...
He (ﷺ) said again in a hadeeth reported by Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه):
_*“Religion is easy, and no one overburdens himself in his religion but he will be unable to continue in that way. So do not be extremists, but try to be near perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded. Gain strength by worshipping in the mornings and afternoons and during the last hours of the night.”*_
[Sahih Al-Bukhaari 39 and Muslim 2816].
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...
We Should proceed with moderation and tact in the night prayers without neglecting the obligatory acts which have priority over any other supererogatory act.
Yã Oukhty, Yã Akhy ! Iblis embellishes to us the non-compulsory acts of ibãdãt that we do, to the point of distracting us and depriving us of the correct accomplishment of those compulsory.
