A REAL AND TRUE SOTRY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF NAMAZ
IMPORTANCE OF NAMAZ |
A person who asked a person who was praying what would happen if after a death we know that there is no heaven and hell and there is no punishment and retribution then what will you do ???
The answer I got is very surprising and surprising...
It is said that in 2007 we entered an Arabic restaurant in London for dinner shortly before the evening prayers. We sat in the hotel and the waiter came to take the order. I asked the guests for permission for a few minutes. And then he came back. One of the guests asked, "Dr. Sahib, where did you go? You were very late. Where were you?"
I said: I'm sorry, I was actually praying
He smiled and said, "Do you still pray?"
My brother, you are so conservative.
I also smiled and asked conservative?
why?
Is Allah Almighty only in Arab countries and not in London?
He said: Dr. Sahib, I want to ask you some questions and I request you that you will tolerate me a little with the same open heart you are known for.
I said: Yes, I will be very happy, but I have a condition
He said: Please
I said: After completing your questions, you have to admit defeat or victory, right?
He said, "OK, I approve, and here is my promise ..."
I said: Let's start a discussion ... say
He said: How long have you been praying?
I said I started learning it at the age of seven and matured at the age of nine. Since then I have never stopped praying and I will not leave it in the future, God willing.
He said, "Okay. What do you do after death if you know that there is no heaven or hell and no reward?"
I said: I will answer your questions to the end with all my heart, as promised to you
Suppose there is no Paradise or Hell, nor will there be any retribution, then I will not do anything, because, in fact, my case is as Ali ibn Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I did not worship you out of fear of your punishment and desire for heaven, but I worshiped you because you are worthy of worship.
He said: And your prayers which you have been offering regularly for tens of years, then you know that prayer and non-prayer are equal, there is no such thing as hell.
I said: I will not regret it either because it only takes me a few minutes to perform these prayers so I will consider them as physical exercise.
He said: And fasting especially in London because the interval of fasting here exceeds 18 hours a day?
I said: I would consider it a spiritual exercise so it is a high-level exercise for my soul and nafs as well as it has many health benefits that I have got in my life and many benefits. International non-Islamic organizations also believe that stopping eating and drinking for a while is very useful and beneficial for the body.
He said: Have you ever drunk alcohol?
I said: I never touched it
He said in surprise: Never
I said never
He said: What would you say to yourself in this life about the pleasure of drinking and the deprivation of its addictive server if it appeared to you what I had assumed?
I said: There is more harm than good in alcohol and I will understand that I have saved myself from this harmful thing and kept my soul away from it. So how many people are sick because of alcohol? And how many have ruined their homes and their possessions because of alcohol.
Similarly, the global report of non-Islamic organizations shows that it also warns of the effects of alcohol and the consequences of drinking it regularly.
He said: The journey of Hajj and Umrah when you know after death that there is no such thing and Allah Almighty does not exist?
I said: I will keep my promise and answer your questions with all my heart
I will describe the journey of Hajj and Umrah as a beautiful leisure journey in which I felt a certain level of joy and happiness and purified my soul from the pleasures as you have done for your journey so that you may have a good time. Be able to live and refresh your soul by removing the burden of your actions and the fatigue of routine life.
He looked at my face in silence for a while, thank you very much for answering my questions with a big heart.
My questions are over and I confess my defeat to you
I said: What do you think will be the condition of my heart after accepting your defeat?
He said: Surely you will be very happy.
I said: Absolutely not, on the contrary ... I am very sad.
He said in surprise:
Why are you sad ???
I said: Now it is my turn to question you.
He said: Say ... !!!!
I said: I don't have a lot of questions like you, there is only one question that is very simple and easy.
He said: What is that?
I said: I have made it clear to you that even after your assumption, I am not at a loss nor is there any harm in it ... but that is my simple question. What will happen to you if the situation turns out to be contrary to your assumption, ie after death, you know that Allah Almighty also exists, there are heaven and hell, there are punishment and retribution, and there are all the scenes and scenes described in the Qur'an? What will you do then?
He stared into my eyes for a long time in silence ... and then the waiter broke our silence while placing food on our table ...... !!!
I said to him: I don't want an answer right now. The food is here. Let's eat and when your answer is ready, please let me know...
We finished eating and he didn't answer me and I didn't bother to answer him at the time ... we parted very simply
A month later he contacted me and demanded an appointment at the same restaurant.
We met at the restaurant and we shook hands. Suddenly he put his head on my shoulder and took me in his arms and started crying. I put my hand on his back and asked why are you crying? ....
He said: I am here to thank you and to inform you of my answer...
After being away from prayers for more than twenty years, now I have started praying. The echo of your words kept resonating in my mind and brain without any pause and I kept losing the pleasure of sleep.
You left a volcano in my heart, mind, and body and it worked inside me...
I began to feel as if I were another human being and a new spirit was moving inside my body. I also felt an unparalleled peace of mind.
I said: Maybe when your vision has left you, then these words have awakened your vision...
He said: Exactly so ... Of course, when my vision left me, the words awakened my vision.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear brother
Don't just read about this incident, but consider it. Maybe it will be a source of guidance for someone...
