as salam alykom brother
Those two statements are not from Quran, they are from hadeeth qodsi which the Messenger (SAW) conveyed after Allah.
However, although we can not again can not discard hadeeth.
Look what Quran Say for example about why Muslims can not unit:
":Say: "He has power to <b>send torment on you from above </b>or <b>from under your feet</b>, or to <b>cover you with confusion in party strife</b>, <b>and make you to taste the violence of one another</b>." See how variously We explain the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), so that they may understand." (Quran 6:65)
Now if u analyze this Ayah u will find that Allah S&T Explains how He might punish nations for their being astray. Look at the underlined part.
When a nation used to totally go astray, harm the Prophet been sent to them, reject the message Allah at those times Sent torments in many shapes either from sky like strikes or other, or from under their feet like in some cases villages were fully swalloed by earth or the last item which is instil split among them. When this Ayah was revealed our beloved Messenger (SAW) made dua to Allah to protect his Ummah from those three punishments. Allah Granted him the first two but not the third one. That is why u still find Muslims in conflict, not in unity and so forth. If this didnt happen Quran would not have been true.
Hope I made it clear brother.
About wanting to pray, Sobhan Allah, just by u expressing this very loudly here Allah the All Hearing of course did hear u and was so pleased for His servant to feel this way and certainly Shall help. U need the help of no one but Allah, brother carry on makind dua for Allah to pull u closer, Allah Shall very soon.
Recite Ayaht korsi a lot, here u go:
"Allahu la ilaha illa huwa alhayyu alqayyoomu la ta/khuthuhu sinatun wala nawmun lahu ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi man tha allathee yashfaAAu AAindahu illa bi-ithnihi yaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yuheetoona bishay-in min AAilmihi illa bima shaa wasiAAa kursiyyuhu alssamawati waal-arda wala yaooduhu hifthuhuma wahuwa alAAaliyyu alAAatheemu" (Quran 2:255)
It is a protection against shaytan.
Also use this dua:
la ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la shareeka lahu lahulmolk wa lahul hamd uheyee wa umeet wahuwa a`ala kol shay-en qadeer.
It is also protection against shaytan.
as soon as u read this, go make wodu, recite ayatulkorsi Insh a Allah u will be able to pray.
I also posted steps for u on another thread, use them and any help we can offer dont hesitate. And ask Allah a lot for help and protection. Sorry if the post was long.
