Mercy of Allah

 amatullah writes: See the mercy of Allah on us?
A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr prayer
in the masjid. He got dressed, made his ablution 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 ablution, and was, again, on his way
to the masjid.
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 ablution and was on his
way to the masjid. On his way 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.
Allahu La illaha ila Huwa Al Hay Al Qayoom AlHaleem,
AlKareem, La ilaha ila Allahu Alaliy Aladheem, La
ilahaila Allah La ilaha ila Allah, Rab elSamawat elSab
Wa Rab al arch aladheem
