Determination

Assalam o alaikum i found this on the internet...if its true or not, i dont know


A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr (Morning) prayer in the Masjid (Mosque). He got dressed, made his Wudhu (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 back 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 profoundly and the two were 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 Shaitan (Satan)." The man was shocked at this reply. Shaitan (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 (SWT) 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 (SWT) forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if I made you fall one more time, then Allah (SWT) will forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the Masjid safely."

Moral: Do not let Shaitan (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 receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.

So do not let Shaitan benefit from his actions. Do not put off a good that you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.

Nice story

Thanks for sharing

Well that's certainly inspirational! Do you have a source for it, though? Or proof of it's authenticity? Because stories like this, though they have a very good message, should not be spread if they are not confirmed to be true. I've seen this story elsewhere and I felt it may have been a fabricated story forwarded by lots of people.

I agree I mean it's a remarkable story but I don't understand why Allah would forgive the sins of the people of his household or village, since everyone is responsible for their own actions. And what if some of those people were sinners, then what? Do their sins get forgiven too. If it's an authentic story then brilliant stuff but if not then it's just wishful thinking my friend! lol. Jazakallahu khayrun anyway. I hope I've not offended u.

I thought so too. I don't know whether the story is authentic or not. I was confused about the layout and thought about posting it to find out what you all thought.
Ans sis sal12, you haven't offended me, your opinion helped
