✨Prayer and the knowledge of God

By Muhammad Marsa

Allah Almighty says to Muses ,PBUH, while He is sending him to the Pharaoh the tyrant and before he starts calling for Allah : ( إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي )
"Verily, I am Allah! La ilaha illa Ana (non has the right to be worshipped but I ) , so worship Me."

This is the definition of Allah for Ahal Alsunnah Wal Jama'aa, And this is the best description to call Him : Allah who non has the right to be worshipped but He Sebawieh , the writer of the greatest grammar book , was seen in the dream, They asked him : What did Allah do to you? He said, he forgave me and welcomed me in the paradise! They asked: For what? He said : When I reached to the chapter : Allah the name of Majesty – and I said: He is the most well known ! Not to be defined : هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيّ " Do you know of any who is similar to Him?"

The non-religious and the atheist people asked Abo Haneefa for a proof of the power of Allah. He said , A ship sails in the oceans without a captain or a leader in the see . They said , This can never happen , O Abo Haneefa. He said : Praise to Allah ! A dark night! A sky with towers! Stares twinkle.. Don't they indicate to Allah

Brothers and sisters.. Have you asked the flower who grew it and gave it beauty?

Have you asked the night who made it dark ? Have you asked yourself who lifts the sky and flattens the earth?

We all live away from thinking and understanding the creatures around us! The sounds of machines , the noise of factories, the drinks and the clothes made us forget about thinking and understanding.

And Imam Ahmad was asked : what is the proof of His power?

He said: Praise to Allah! The egg of the chicken : its surface is silver and white but the inside is gold and yellow, it hatches with a creature that can hear and see! Don't that indicate to Allah who hear and see!

Ibn Alrawandi who was non-religious ,was asked to write a book to explain the Quran ! But he said : I will write a book to criticize the quran and to disprove the quran , So Allah destroyed him : " But surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing , and they will never be helped."

An irreligious man asked a nomad who was praying in the desert , for who are you praying? He said for Allah! He said : Did you see him? He answered : Praise to Allah, the marks indicate to the walker! A sky with towers, A dark night and stars twinkle.. don't they indicate to Allah who can hear and see!

Anas bin Malek said : we were sitting with the prophet PBUH in the mosque after Alasr prayer, when a nomad entered asking: Where is the son of Abdul Motaleb?

They said: He is that white man! Then he stood at the prophet and said: O Mohammad: The prophet said: You are answered! He said: I am going to ask you ( difficult questions ): The prophet said : ask what you want!
The nomad said: who lifted the sky? And the prophet was leaning on his side: he said: Allah. The nomad said: Who flattened the earth? He said : Allah. And who built up the mountains? He said : Allah. The nomad said : I ask you with Who lift the sky and flattened the earth and built up the mountains :Did He send you a prophet to us? The prophet’s face became red and he sat down with crossed legs and said : O Allah, Yes.

The nomad said : I ask you by Who lift the sky and flattened the earth and built up the mountains: Did Allah tell you to order us to pray five times a day? He said : O Allah, Yes. And he continued asking him till he finished the pillars of Islam and then said at the end : I bear there is no God but Allah and you are the prophet of Allah. I swear I will not increase or decrease what I heard . then he left! The prophet turned to his companions smiling and said : He who liked to look at a man from the people of paradise , he should look at this man"

Suliman bin Mahran when he was at death, his children cried and he said : cry or not! I swear I never left the pray in the mosque for sixty years. So ,Allah whiten his face " On the Day when some faces will become white and some faces will become black."

Ammar bin Thabet raised his hands after Salat Alfajr" Dawn prayer" and said: O Allah, I ask you the good death! His sons asked him what is that good death? He answered them : I mean to die while I am making Sujood. And later because he was true with Allah , Allah was true with him as he died in the last Sajadah in Maghreb prayer " As for those who strive hard in Us ( Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths "

Alimam Al zahabi, said that when Abdulmalek bin Marwan was at death, he said put me down off my bed ; they put him down and then he heard a washer man talking near his palace , so he said : I wish I were a washer! I wish I didn't take the rule" Alkhelafa"

A good man was a carpenter , and when he heard Alazan " calling for prayers" and was raising his hammer , he threw it and went to pray!

Our mother Aysha , said that if the prophet PBUH heard Alazan , he stood up as he didn't know us or we didn't know him. And he said at his death , PBUH, " Assalat .. Assalat" and Omar bin Alkhattab said : " No luck in Islam for that who doesn't pray"

And prayers needs submission . And the submission is that you pray while you are sure that no one is greater or higher than Allah .. and to pray as you see Allah but if you can't see Him , remember that He sees you!

One of the rightness men was asked : Do you remember anybody when you pray?

He said : I swear if they were fighting behind my back I wouldn't remember but Allah. So where are we from that generation?

O people, these re some of things that happen because of neglecting Assalat:
