[i:559396182c]She complains and says:[/i:559396182c]

I don’t know why my relatives visit my sisters more,

But when time comes to visit me few of them turn-up,

They visit my other four sisters daily,

However when my turn comes I see only a few,

There are some I don’t see for days and days,

And some I hardly ever see,

As if I have been erased from their memory,

And some when they come they are sooooo lazy and lethargic,

Their excuses are totally not acceptable,

What can I do to them???,

I am the most generous to those who come to me,

I am not accusing my sisters of any shortcomings,

But everybody knows that I am more generous,

Many advice my relatives to come to me for there is so much good in it,

However still few of them turn-up!!!!!!!!, [/color:559396182c]

[b:559396182c]I wonder what the problem is????!!!!!! [/b:559396182c]

All her complains are finished, let’s now see who she is …….??

Her name is not long only four letters.

The last letter is R

Yes it’s ((Fajr))!

Fajr Prayer [/color:559396182c]

It’s complaining about the neglect of so many Muslims. 

What is meant by relatives are the Muslims who come to Fajr to get closer to Allah, 

It’s noticed that today many are lazy on performing this prayer, and some did not perform it on time for quite a long time now. 

Not only that but some get up, go to work and then perform it there. 

For them it became a habit and not a form of worship, 

They forgot the blessings that are in it, lets look and ponder on what our beloved prophet peace be upon him said about the 2 Rakah’s that are before Fajr : 

Book 004, Number 1573: 

[b:559396182c]“'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The two rak'ahs at dawn are better than this world and what it contains.”[/b:559396182c] Narrated by Muslim. 

If this whole world and all it contains equals nothing in the eye of the prophet peace be upon him compared to those 2 Rakah’s, how about Fajr prayer itself? 

We must really stop on this!!!!! 

This prayer is so great that the night and morning angels attend it: 

In the Quran it says (meaning): 

[b:559396182c]“and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in the morning carry their testimony.”[/b:559396182c] Surah Al-Isra verse 78 

The prophet peace be upon him gave glad tidings, in the hadith Reported by Al-Tirmidi, Abu Dawood, and Ibn Majah: 

Book 2, Number 0561: 

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: 

[b:559396182c]"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Give good tidings to those who walk to the mosques in darkness for having a perfect light on the Day of Judgment." [/b:559396182c]

There is one more reward for the ones who attend Fajr prayer in addition to this complete light, however this reward is not a worldly one but one that is way higher and loftier than this. It’s the goal that every Muslim craves for, it’s what the worshippers worship for, it’s paradise and what winning trade is better than paradise. The prophet(pbuh) said: 

Book 004, Number 1326: 

[b:559396182c]“Abu Bakr* reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who observed two prayers at two cool (hours) would enter Paradise.”[/b:559396182c] Narrated by Muslim. 

Those 2 are the Fajr and Asr prayers. 

Furthermore our prophet(pbuh) gives a promise of safety from the hell fire: 

Book 004, Number 1324: 

[b:559396182c]“He who observed prayer before the rising of the sun and its setting, i. e. the dawn prayer and the afternoon prayer, would not cater the (Hell) fire.”[/b:559396182c] Narrated by Muslim. 

Moreover wouldn’t you like to be under the protection of the All Mighty may He be glorified exalted. 

Our beloved prophet peace be upon him said: 

Book 004, Number 1381: 

[b:559396182c]Jundab b. 'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who prayed the morning prayer (in congregation) he is in fact under the protection of Allah. And it can never happen that Allah should demand anything from you in connection with the protection (that He guarantees) and one should not get it. He would then throw him in the fire of Hell.”[/b:559396182c] Narrated by Muslim 

Do you want for your self to be wicked????? We seek refuge in Allah!. 

Our beloved prophet peace be upon him warned us against becoming wicked he said: 

Book 004, Number 1702: 

[b:559396182c]Abu Huraira transmitted it from the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him): When any one of you goes to sleep, the devil ties three knots at the back of his neck, sealing every knot with:" You have a long night, so sleep." So if one awakes and mentions Allah, a knot will be loosened; if he performs ablution two knots are loosened; and if he prays (all) knots will be loosened, and in the morning he will be active and in good spirits; otherwise we will be in bad spirits and sluggish in the morning."[/b:559396182c] Narrated by Muslim 

To all those who abandoned it [/size:559396182c]

I will say to you that you have made yourself subject to the wrath and hate of Allah (swt), so watch for yourself before death comes suddenly without your knowledge, and before you find yourself saying: 

[b:559396182c]“'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah………….”[/b:559396182c] Surah Al-Zomer verse 56 

[b:559396182c]“'If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!'”[/b:559396182c] Surah Al-Zomer verse 58 

So save yourself from the from the sea of whims to the right path and look for the means that will help you attend this obligatory prayer. 

[i:559396182c]Lastly here are the means in short:[/i:559396182c] 

1-Your intention should be faithful for Allah only, and you should have full determination and firm will to get up for Fajr prayer. 

2-Keep away from staying up late and sleep early whenever you can. 

3-Seek the help of your mother, father, brother, sister or neighbor ,or alarm clock to wake you up. 

4-Always remember the importance of purity and reading the adkar that our prophet taught us to say before sleep. 

Oh Allah I have conveyed the message so bear testimony. [/color:559396182c]

I pray Allah (swt) bless me to say what is right.

When a jew was among the jews, they loved him, and loved his father, they said he is the best of the best, and from the family of the best.

When he the son reverted back to islam (the true ways of worship), the jews said he is the worst of the worst and comes from the worst of the worst.

***THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE EVIL, OR UNPLEASANT***

These people who Allah left astray, could not admit, that he was blessed with the truth, which they were not blessed with.

When someone wants to commit sins, be lazy, act up, and be what they want, (instead of on their best behaviour---they would stay away from good---to do what makes them comfortable).

I have non-muslim relatives who love me very much and even more, because I now let them be who they are. It was not always like that, I use to tell them Allah will forgive them of their sins and guide them to salvation, but they hated the truth or couldn't handle the truth.

NOw, I let them be, they come around or ask me to come more often, I won't allow them to sidetrack me no matter their lifestyles, sometimes they mock at me, but I set them straight in a more pleasant manner, then before. they give me the upper respect or I leave, and they know that. they are pretty good people anyway, mashaa'llah.

And it's really boils down to the lifestyle of the individual.

Kinth and kin, they have rights, and so do you, but they can't handle the light that shines from you (islam).

Most people only be around those who can make them feel better, comfortable, and they can feel free to curse, eat pork and pick on each other, (if they want) smoke their cigarettes, and what ever else they might do, that will disturb a muslim's home.

No non-muslim, can feel their best in the presence of a real muslim.

some feel ashamed, or embarrassed.

Insha'llah, never take it personally, and just be there and be kind whenever they do come. We can only ask Allah (swt) to guide them.

I pray I stated what was right.

As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmantu'llahi wa barakatu!

sobhan Allah u stated a pointed that has been always there but of course on different levels. It is the problem of one who is doing wrong, knowing it is wrong, looking at another doing what is right, and the first one knows it is right but simply can not control himself and follow the footsteps.

The reaction varies between mocking, agression, disrespect or other, just because this person serves as a reminder. Look at a young girl who chooses to comply with the Islamic dress code when other older female members of the family can not do it. She will be exposed to several reactions. We just have to realize this when dealing with people and feel sorry for them. They envy those who can control themselves. So it is not only between a Muslim and non Muslim, but also among Muslims.

As for non Muslims, they feel insecure when close members of the family embraces Islam, they try to turn him back just to be on the safe side rather than giving themselves a chance to learn. The muslim person becomes a threat, a source of insecurity that O they are wrong and in what in terms of religions such a crucial issue in life even if they are not practising. Well may Allah help us all to stay fixed on our beliefe.
