Keep Devils Away With Aayat Al-Kursi

Abu Hurayrah (radi Allahu anhu) said: “Allah's Messenger assigned me to keep watch over the Zakah of Ramadaan. A person snuck in and started taking handfuls of foodstuff. I caught him and said, ‘By Allah, I will take you to the Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Release me, for I am meek and have many dependents and am in great need.’ So I let him go. In the morning the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) asked me, ‘What did your prisoner do last night, O Abu Hurayrah!’ I said, ‘O Allah's Messenger! He complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so I pitied him and let him go.’ Allah's Messenger said, ‘Indeed, he told you a lie and will be coming again.’

Never Give Up

Perseverance, Persistence and Determination in Islam - Never Give Up (Perseverance in Islam)

A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr (Morning) prayer in the Masjid (Mosque). He got dressed, made his Wudhu (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 back home. At home, he changed his clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the Masjid. 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 your way to the Masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way." The first man thanked him profoundly and the two were on their way to the Masjid.
 
Once at the Masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come 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.
 
The man replied "I am Shaitan (Satan)." The man was shocked at this reply. Shaitan (Satan) 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 to the Masjid, Allah (SWT) forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, 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 (SWT) forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if I made you fall one more time, then Allah (SWT) will forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the Masjid safely."
 
Moral: Do not let Shaitan (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.

Who Believes In ALLAH?‏

There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 questions. His parents brought many scholars but no one was able to answer the questions. Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar. The young man started...

• Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
  Scholar: I am one of Allah's slaves and insha-Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.
• Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions.
  Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah.
• Young Man: I have 3 questions:
  • Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
  • What is takdir (fate)?
  • If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?
  Scholar: Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.
• Young Man: (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?
  Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.
• Young Man: I really don't understand.
  Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
• Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.
  Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?
• Young Man: Yes
  Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!
  Young Man: I cannot.
• Scholar: Here are my three answers.
  • All of us feel God's existence without being able to see His shape.
  • Scholar: Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?
    Young Man: No
  • Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?
    Young Man: No.
  • Scholar: That is takdir (fate).
  • Scholar: My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?
    Young Man: It is created from skin.
  • Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
    Young Man: Skin.
  • Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
    Young Man: In pain.
  • Scholar: Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants, insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become a very painful place for Shaitan (Devil).

See the Mercy of Allah on us

Assalamualaikum wa RahmatuAllahu wa Barakatuhu

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 the masjid.

2nd time, 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 3rd time 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 your way to the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way." The first man thanked him profusively and the two were on their way to the masjid.

Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come 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.

The man replied "I am Satan."

The man was shocked at this reply. Satan 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 to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, 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 recieve from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.
