Muhammad salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam. The result we must leave to Allah. We must make the 5 daily obligatory prayers (Salaat). If some Muslim misses it and is overtaken by death, then he /she will suffer punishment in the Hell-Fire. You must believe in the Here-After /Life after death. We, the Muslims must prepare for the Life after death. Surely we must also try to get the lawful necessities of this life and we can pray to Allah to fulfil our lawful desires in this world too, but our primary aim must be to succeed and pass in the Here-After. The more a person fears the Accounting in the Life after death, the lighter is his/her attachment to this world and then this whole world and its gains become valueless to him /her.
I know that this whole life is only a test, I just wish only to have a new life and to start the whole test from beginning only for second time and finish, and by His Help, I can do the right thing before I have to suffer the consequences that I suffer now. And I wish that I can learn how to pray since when I was small, now at age of 18, I’m not able to remember the movements from the prayer and I try to say the obligatory prayers, and if I want to pray, I would be a horror, because, I don’t know how, and I try to learn fast, and now I have too much things on my head that I have to learn, and it is also obligatory to learn Romanian literature because , I’m in a situation where I probably I will fail the class and I have to repeat it and I hate to repeat the class, and there are things to learn like French which I got only one 4 or 2 in it, and I have to learn to pass. I don’t know if this will be taken as an excuse for delaying praying or not. Because, I’m in a terrible situation. And just know I have managed to pray x5 a day but, there’s a surah which I murbald and I tried to say in Arabic this “by the time, verily man is at loss, except those who do good deeds and righteous good deeds and recommend one another to the truth” only this part I remember, oh, and If I recite only Al-Fatiha and I don’t recite another any surah would my prayer still be valid? Because, I don’t anyone other surah other than Fatiha, and there’s another surah I know which is Ayat al Kursi, this I know to recite in English not in Arabic, is this surah Ayat al Kursi, ok to recite in English if I don’t know to recite in Arabic?
