The Road To Dubai
THE ROAD TO DUBAI
------------
This is nice story about taat- {6a3at }Allah >>I recived it by email and it`s good to tell u & learn somthink....
============
On the road to Dubai, my husband stopped at a small masjid to make
the asr prayer.
As I sat in the car, I saw a figure approaching from the direction
of a small group of houses.
It took some time before I realized it was a man, crawling toward
the masjid.
He wore rubber sandals on his hands.
His lower body dragged on the hard, rocky ground.
The 100-degree temperatures had beaten sweat out of his entire body.
By the time he reached the masjid courtyard I could see he was
soaked and his face was flushed.
Many men passed him on their way to the prayer, perhaps accustomed
to seeing him.
One man came out of a shop and watched him for awhile. He went back
into the shop and came out with a cold drink.
He opened it for the crawling man and they sat together for a minute.
I heard them talking, the one man offering to help the man and the
other insisting he could make it up the stairs to the masjid.
He was concerned about making it on time, so he excused himself and
continued his slow, labored journey to the prayer.
I did not watch him as he mounted the stairs. I could not imagine
how to help him.
I was crying by then, remembering the hadith of the Prophet
(pbuh): “The hypocrites find fajr and isha prayers in congregation
very oppressive. If they could know the virtues of these two
prayers, they would certainly join them, even if they had to go
crawling.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
This man, who literally did crawl even in the heat of the day, did
not find the congregational prayer oppressive at all.
May Allah reward all who struggle to please Him and may He always
remind us of our own weaknesses through such people.
