" 15 minit lagi la nak subuh. Tidur jap la.. 5 minit je. Pastu aku bangun la solat. Lagipun aku dah penat study dari pagi tadi, tak tidur2. So, x apelah pon kalau aku nak rehatkan badan kejap."

(matahari pun mula muncul.Sinarannya yang terik mengejutkan lamunan mimpiku)

"Ya Allah! Da pukul 5 pagi! Aku terlepas solat subuh! Aduhh....."


Inilah yang berlaku pada diri saya setiap kali hampir tiba waktu subuh. Memandangkan waktu subuh yang sekarang ini semakin awal, dan semakin awal,dan semakin awal..sehinggakan sering kali terlepas solat subuh on time.( Haishh..apalah nak jadi.) Pada musim summer di Manchester sekarang ini, sudah menjadi kelaziman langit cerah terlalu awal dan gelap terlalu lewat. Siang yang sangat panjang, malam yang terlalu singkat. Pukul 4.15 pagi, matahari mula bersinar kegembiraan. Pukul 10.30 malam, baru matahari bersembunyi. Dan sudah semestinya waktu2 solat semuanya berubah, ada yang terlalu awal dan ada yang terlalu lewat. dan sering kali itu juga diri penulis ini jarang sekali melakukan ibadah on time. Naudzubillah.. Sama2 bermuhasabah diri semula.

Tertarik dengan satu artikel ini dari sahabat saya, ingin sekali rasanya dikongsi bersama kalian, adik-adik supaya kita bersama2 berusaha meningkatkan kualiti ibadah kita. Jangan hanya bab pelajaran sahaja yang perlu ditingkatkan kualitinya^.^ bahkan bab beribadah juga harus dan sangat2 kita perlu jaga. Kerana.. Allah tidak akan mempersoalkan nanti berapa A yang kita dapat dalam peperiksaan tetapi Dia akan mempersoalkan bagaimana ibadah solat dan amalan kita. (tetapi jangan juga lupa ye, belajar itu juga satu ibadah) So insyaAllah mari kita sama2 hayati cerita ini dan mengambil pengajaran dan hikmah disebaliknya. (maaf juga cerita ini dikarang dalam English) :

Wake up for Fajr Salaah

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 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 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 receive
from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.
If forwarding this message will bother you, or take too much time from
you, then don't do it, but you will not get the reward of it, which is
great.

Imagine that when you forward this, you receive good deeds, and so will
I for sending it to you! Wouldn't it be easy just to Press 'Forward' and
receive this Reward?

May Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala grant us
good Muslim Hearts and we all do our Prayers with all our Heart and
Soul...

Ameen...
