| Prayer
For missing Fajr at the start of the day
The glow of the face is taken away
The punishment for missing the salaat of Zuhr
There will be no blessing from your income no more
For missing Asr, the middle prayer of the day
The strength of the body is taken away
By missing Maghrib, remember one thing
You will not be benefited by your offspring
For missing Ishaa at the end of the day
The peace of your sleep will be taken away

Love for Nabi (sallaAllahu alay wa sallam)
During the time of British rule in India many Muslims had been left in poverty. Every morning a poor Indian by the name of Ahmed sat on the side of the road and asked for money from anyone who passed by. As a British man passed by, Ahmed held up his hands and begged the man for some money. The British man quickly refused him and continued on. Ahmed sat back down in distraught trying to figure out how he was going to feed his family tonight. Soon his eyes laid on a purse that had fallen from the British mans back pocket. Ahmed got up and quickly ran to the purse to pick it up. He opened the purse and found it to contain a lot of money. At that moment Ahmed felt all of his worries were finally over. He went home and told his wife, “Oh my wife from this day onwards our days of misery are long over”. He showed her all the money from the purse to which she became so happy. He promised to fulfill her dreams of owning a business, marrying there only daughter to a rich family and sending there three sons to medical school. However, that night the family still went to sleep hungry.
The next day, Ahmed was back on the same street asking for money from anyone who passed by. The same British man was passing by so Ahmed quickly went to him and returned the purse. The British man opened the purse to find all his belongings including all his money was in there. The British man couldn’t understand and asked Ahmed, “You are the same beggar that came to me yesterday for money and I refused you? Ahmed replied, “Yes”. The British man further inquired, “Did you open the purse and see what was inside?” Ahmed replied, “Yes, I opened the purse, saw what was inside and made plans as to how I was going to use it also”. The British man asked, “Then why are you returning it to me when you could have taken it without anyone every knowing?” Ahmed explained, “My friend we both believe in the Day of Judgement. And on that day you will stand behind Jesus (alayhi salaam) while I stand behind Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam). I didn’t want Jesus (alayhi salaam) to complain to Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alayi wa sallaam) that one of your followers stole from his follower. The reason I have returned your purse is because I can take any burden from this world, but I could never take Muhammad (sallaAllahu alay wa sallaam) being embarrassed in front of anyone.” | | |
