Why we cannot pray for long time???
* Blindfold *
I start praying then misses ... sometimes it feels very good, sometimes the prayer calms down but after a short time I get bored, the prayer becomes a burden .. I find it difficult to lift my heavy body for prayers "
She was saying in a very tired tone .. I could feel her breathing while talking .. She felt tired not outwardly but inwardly ..
"Do you cover your eyes ??" I looked at him gently and asked him a question. She looked at me in amazement, something she probably didn't expect.
"The veil of the eyes? ... I .. I wear the niqab myself, I ... I don't understand ... what has the veil of the eyes got to do with prayers .. ??" ... The words were random.
I smiled. The relationship is very deep .. The evil eye is one of the poisonous arrows of the devil which lands in the heart of man. It is very easy to cover but the veil of sight is a bit difficult. When the sight is not pure. Neither does the pleasure of worship go away .. When the eyes are not pure, the thoughts are not pure, and when the thoughts are bad, the intentions are bad .. And the deeds depend on the intentions. Do you know? Man sees what he thinks. Yes, he who hears has an effect on his heart. What do we see, what do we hear, what do we talk, have you ever thought ?? ... You cover yourself, so is every non-mahram that is yours? It looks good, how many times do you look at it after the first sight to satisfy your self, how beautiful it is ?? No inappropriate picture, no video, no talk on Facebook .. when no one is watching. .. in solitude .. but only Allah !! So do you stop at it once? .. ever a movie, a song ... in which if you are not a mahram then leave it alone .. even the veil of our own gender is not complete, no Do you see in your imagination ?? And then there are no non-mahram men around us ... The actors, models, on television, in whose absence we fall in love, we look at them carefully, their body, dressing and looks are admired ... all this after the veil is removed. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
The pleasure of worship is being taken away .. It is darkening the heart ... Zina is not just a kind of .. If something is touched with the wrong hand, it is zina of the hand, if it speaks obscenely with the tongue, it is zina of the tongue, If we see something haraam with the eyes, it is adultery of the eyes .. The nakedness of the eyes makes such a hole in the heart that the light of our heart flows .. And then those who do not cover their eyes, their prayers But they become heavy, even if they offer prayers, they offer prayers without hesitation, the heart does not feel .. the burden remains on the heart ... so do you cover your eyes? If not, make a pledge from today that you will do it ... Whenever you see something wrong by mistake, even if your soul overwhelms your faith, ask forgiveness immediately .. Turn to Allah. Then you will see the joy of prayers, the joy of worship and the peace of heart ... all will be given to you ... "
And another thing .. Peace is placed in the prayer that the Qur'an itself says that "Surely the remembrance of Allah gives peace to the hearts ..." Now if one does not feel that peace then understand it with an example. There is a sick person .. Bring him his favorite food, he will not eat .. Now he says there is no pleasure in eating, it doesn't matter .. There is pleasure in eating, the food is the same but his The stomach is sick ... In the same way peace is kept in worship but he who does not get it should understand that his heart is sick .... and the recovery of this heart is very much related to the protection of sight my dear ... "
I patiently finished my speech and looked at him .. What I had understood after a long time of effort, restlessness and anxiety was conveyed to him .. I did not need an answer .. The gleam in his eyes was enough for me ... "
