    Re: Need help on starting to pray

    One of the things Allaah Subhana Wa Ta'ala loves the most is when his servants pray on time, and prayer is one of the things that differentiates us Muslims (who submit to the will of Allaah) between kafiirs is prayer. Think of the Day of Judgement, prayer is no joke bro it's fardh! You have to do it! And how else will you have a connection with your rubb?

    I know it's hard to get back into the groove of praying again, but first perfect your wudhu and then perfect your actual salaah this will help you in doing prayer and maybe even encourage you. Also try to have as much khushoo (concentration) in prayer as possible, think of Allaah always. What displeases Allaah, should displease you and vice versa. Be glad you're even alive, Allaah is Ever-merciful and Oft-forgiving, and prayer only takes what 3-5 mins a day. The most rakats you have to do, in your fardh prayers, are 4..JUST 4! Look at how merciful Allaah Ta'ala is to his servants subhan Allaah.

    How will you answer to Allaah when your body parts testify against you on Yomul Qiyamah and say to Allaah that you never used them to bend down in prayer? When Yomul Qiyamah comes, those who loved this world and did no dhikr, prayer, or anything that makes them a Muslim..or even minor sins, will beg Allaah Ta'ala to put them back on Earth so that they can be righteous servants to Allah. But you have the chance to change now, do it akhi. You will feel at one with yourself, and at peace..alhamdulilah it's such a wonderful feeling only one can feel on their own. Subhan Allaah that should scare you enough to do fardh prayer, let alone sunnah. Ponder on that.

    Once you perfect your fardh, inshaa Allaah you can start doing your sunnah prayers and gain some extra hasanat. Inshaa Allaah, I'm going to start doing that.

    Is it sins crippling you? If so, try to stop it, then you will feel you are freed off your handcuffs.

    I think she said it all really.
    But may I ask, what type of things are stopping you? Name a few.

    Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.

    Re: Need help on starting to pray

    you have to be afraid of Allah, and afraid that your last day in this world is today... and your death is coming soon...

    at the other thread, there is a reminder for us with sakaratul maut... maybe u can try...

    and prayer is fard, if u dont do prayer while u dont know the obligation to do it, u have to do taubatan nasuha... but if u know that prayer is fard and u leave it... i'm afraid u re in the gate of kafir...

    taubat now or never!! kay:

    Re: Need help on starting to pray

    try setting an alarm on your cell for morning prayer. then once you've prayed reset it for juhur etc and make yourself do it right away. i find that if i say ill do it 5 min later, 5 min becomes 10 min, 15 etc. and i end up not doing it. so when the alarm goes off don't think just do the prayer.
