as salam alykom Abu
and may be u really need to calm down and ponder again on the meaning of our comments Dan and myself. Just try to ponder again without rushing into decisions. and there is no harm in reminding, that is what we are all here for.
well I will try to help a bit
dont we have a dua saying Allahum la tusalet a`alyan bedhenoubena man la yakhafak wala yarhmna.
Translates as:
Allahum Do not assign on us, due to our sins, those who dont fear u or have mercy on us.
Dont u remember Al A`bas when he was praying for rain at the time of Omar, he said Allah we know that You dont send a test or trial except due to a sin and You dont lift it except with repententance.
Our main duty is to improve ourselves, we r not denying jihad here, but how can people go for jihad without praying first.
well I talked a lot here. Just tried to explain.
