>> A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr prayer in the
>>masjid. He got dressed, made his aboloution and was on his way to
>>the
>>masjid.
>>
>>
>>
>> On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got
>>dirty. He got up, brushed
himself off, and headed home. At home, he
>>changed his clothes, made his aboloution, and was, again, on his
>>way to
>>the masjid.
>>
>>
>>
>> 2nd time, On his way to the masjid, he fell again and at the
>>same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home.
>>At
>>home he, once again, changed his clothes, made his aboloution and
>>was on
>>his way to the masjid.
>>
>>
>>
>> On his way 3rd time to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp.
>>He asked the man of his identity and the man replied "I saw you
>>fall
>>twice on your way to the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light
>>your
>>way." The first man thanked him profusively and the two where on
>>their
>>way
to the masjid.
>>
>>
>>
>> Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to
>>come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused. The first
>>man
>>asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same.
>>The
>>first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray.
>>
>>
>>
>> The man replied "I am Satan."
>>
>>
>>
>> The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went on to explain, "I
>>saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall.
>>When
>>you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the
>>masjid,
>>Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and
>>even
>>that did not encourage you
to stay home, but rather, you went back
>>on
>>your way to the masjid. Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins
>>of
>>the people of your household. I was afraid if i made you fall one
>>more
>>time, then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your
>>village, so
>>i made sure that you reached the masjid safely."

So do not let Satan benefit from his actions.



Do not put off a good that you intended to do as you never know
how much reward you might recieve from the hardships you encounter
while
>>trying to achieve that good.
