I don’t wear hijab, I listen to music every dat, sometimes I can’t control my anger and I disobey/shout at my parents, and I’m finding it harder and harder to lower my gaze. All of this is effecting me and I fear that I might stop praying. I’ve tried to stop sinning as much but it’s too hard. Advice??
Waalaikum assalam,
Dear sister, maybe you are wondering why every Muslim must perform x5 a day prayers without delaying. First of all, there are plenty reasons why one should do.
One day, angel Gabriel came to prophet Muhammad telling him that Allah ordered you to pray x50 a day, but the Prophet asked Gabriel to go and ask Allah to easy up on us, so Allah Decreed that everyone should pray x5 a day and the reward for it is the same as praying x50 a day.
Also, Allah Says that if one prays x5 a day, then Jannah is guaranteed. If he does not pray, then there is no such guarantee on him.
Also, the prayers prevents one from committing disbelief and also it is a means of cleaning one's self from minor sins.
You should also know that anger is from the devil, and it is haram to get angry for earthly matters.
Based on my knowledge, if you dont wear hijab, then you might attract jinn and you dont that, so there for, start wearing hijab. Also, hijab envelops the beauty.
Regarding the music. Music has now become a big problem these days. Long time ago, in the time of prophet Seth(pbuh), people didnt had no music and one day, the devil came and he taught the man how to make the first musical instrument which I think is flute. So, music is satanic, dont listen to music. The devil makes yo uhh heart to like music
Allah Said in Quran that He will question your own body and its organs, if you for example have listened to music all the time, your ears will testify against you on the Day of Judgment. So, do you want that to happen? I bet not.
Whenever you get angry for worldly matters, say "authu billa mina shaitana rajim"
