Encounter with Satan..

[WingA]

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 On his way to

the masjid, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up,

brushed him self 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 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. Shaitan 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

receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that

good.

jazakallah khayran for the timely reminder

hardship is Allah's way of testing our eemaan and strengthening the deen in our hearts and shaitan has only made this man stronger, because the next time he falls again and again he will never give up because he knows that following the right path will always bring rewards that are greater than the trials!
