Praying is comfortin the body

Once Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Praying is comfort in the
body". I completely agree with this hadith. Actually to tell you the truth the
time I realized this statement was true, it was too late!
It all started when I was in year nine, ignorant and naive. Life was like a joke
to me and I had been led into the wrong path by a gang of lost and mislead
people who were a very bad influence to me. But if I really think about it, it
wasn't the gangs or anybody else's fault except MINE! Because I had a mind of
my own to make my own decisions and to be able to understand what was right and
wrong.
The only problem was I didn't use it and that is the very reason why I have
ended up where I am now...DEAD in a DARK, LONELY GRAVE!
You see in year nine I had given up praying and that's when all my problems had
started. I didn't realize praying would have been the key to my happiness.
Throughout my entire non-praying life there was always something deep down
within me somehow bugging and telling me what I was doing was wrong. But I was
stubborn and ignored my conscience, unaware of the hardships I was going to be
faced with for the future to come.
Giving up praying had changed my attitude entirely. I no longer cared for my
school education, failing nearly every single examination that I sat for. My
attitude towards my parents had also become very sour. I was continuously rude
and cruel to my mother because of the arguments we had on the topic of praying.
As a matter of fact my whole life was turning into a great catastrophe. I was
not only distressing myself because of the way I was acting, but I was also
upsetting the people that I loved.
Eventually a time came when I couldn't take much more of the life. I was living
and I had my mind on killing myself. I saw no purpose in life; no reason for my
existence at all and that's when I committed the second biggest sin in my
life... I committed SUICIDE!
Now my soul is not at rest, writing out my life story with my bare finger only
wishing I had a chance to be alive and worship Allah with all my might because
now I understand leaving my religion and my praying is not worth all the pain
and sorrow I am going through now.
RAHMA TOHIDI-ESFAHANI
Fatima (peace be upon her) asked her father: "What is the punishment for those
men and women who are negligent and careless with their prayers.The Prophet
(peace be upon him) said, "Allah will afflict that person with fifteen forms of
punishment. Six in this world, three at the time of his death, three in his
grave and three on the Day of Judgement."As for the six that he will be
inflicted with in this world, they are:1)Allah will take away His blessings
from that person's life i.e., meaning that Allah will shorten his life span. 2)
Allah will take away His blessings from that person's subsistence i.e., meaning
that his wealth and his sustenance will be void of prosperity.3) Allah will
remove all indications of piety from his face4) He will not be rewarded for any
deed that he performs5) His prayers and invocations will not even be
considered6) When Allah's faithful subjects pray and invoke Allah for the
believers, they shall not share in the benefits of such invocations.   As for
the hardships that he will experience at the time of his death, they are
that:1) He shall die a very menial death2) He shall die hungry3) He shall die
thirsty, and even if he was given the water of all the rivers on Earth to drink
from his thirst will not be quenched.   As for the torment that he will receive
in his grave, they are that:1) Allah will delegate to him an angel solely for
the purpose of irritating him in his grave2) His grave will be constricted3)
Darkness will envelop his grave   And of the miseries he will face on the Day
of Judgement is that:1) Allah will appoint an angel to drag him around on his
face with everyone watching2) He will be judge very severely 3) Allah will
disregard him and will not purify him and awaiting him is a very severe
punishment
