The enmity of Shaytaan

“Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As-Salaah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?” [Sura al-Maa'idah 5:91]

Prayer to my Lord - hear my cries

http://loveandshowhateandhide.tumblr.com

Ya Wadud! ~ Oh Beloved, make the veils on my heart to vanish, hear my cry and open my heart with Your Light. Oh You Who loves those whose hearts are broken for Your sake ~ You are Allah, Our Lord.

Never have I felt this alone, this vast emptiness, this distant, a cast off with mortal danger at every turn from the very people you give your heart out to. It is a shame, the very same people instigate, mitigate, slander & plot against you for your downfall when in fact you pray for all their well-being. It is the selfish nature of man to always receive and receive but never to give one iota. Truly as the great Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, we are certainly the ghuraba (the strangers) to the disbelievers, so we must distance our selves from the rest.

As Ibrahim al-Nakha`i said, “Those who were destroyed before you were destroyed due to three traits – excess in speech, excess in food, and excess in sleep.” - RSA

Perfume invalidating the Salah for Muslim Woman - hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) saw a woman who was going to the masjid. She was putting on fragrance. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) asked her, "O servant of Allah where are you heading?" 'To masjid' she replied. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) asked, "did you put on a fragrance?' She said "yes." Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) said, "I heard from Rasoolullah (SAW) that if any woman goes to masjid while wearing a fragrance, her salaah (prayer) would not be accepted until she takes a Ghusl?shower (until she washes the body and gets rid of the fragrance)" [Ibn-e-Majah, vol3, pp276]

Prayer - a longing of the soul (Gandhi)

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

~ Mahatma Gandhi
