Title : i seek refuge in allah , shalah

Salam 'alaik!

I've something to share with you. It's about the Khusyu' in our prayers.
I believe many of us may have experience this during our prayers. When we are about to meet Allah, talk to Allah, something will pop out in our mind. Telling us that we forgot to do this and that. Or what we gonna do later. Believe me that is shaitan whispering to you.

Isn't it weird, it only happens when you are praying? You are reciting, yet your heart and mind are not khusyu'. You tend to think of the world than really focusing and concentrating in your prayers.

Why do we pray? Why? Is it just for the sake of accomplishing it? To ease the heart that you just fulfilling the obligatory? Well, that is not right. The Shalah is the greatest moment for us to connect to Allah, to seek His forgiveness, seeking his refuge, guidance and etc. We are talking to Him. Just Him Alone.

Therefore my Brothers and Sisters, I would to share with you this hadiths, about a devil, this one devil is always with us in our prayers to disturb us and whisper us to lead us astray from our focus in our prayers. It's name is Khinzib.

" Uthman ibn Abi Al-’Aas once came to the Messenger of Allah, saying, “O Messenger of Allah!
Satan has confused me and has prevented me from attending (or concentrating on) my prayer
and my reading (meaning reciting the Quran while praying).”

The Messenger of Allah said, “That is a devil called Khinzib. When you feel his presence,
seek refuge with Allah from him and blow to your left side thrice.”

Uthman then said, “I did that, and Allah then saved me from that devil.” [Muslim]. "

Remember to seek refuge in Allah whenever a whisper in your heart that tells you to do bad deeds. Insya'allah Allah is always protecting you. For He Alone we worship, He Alone we seek for help.

Allah is with you.
