Welcome
In the battle of Uhad, Hazrat Ali, the great warrior and the son-in-law of Prophet Mohammad, got injured with an arrow that pierced his leg. After the battle was over, his companions tried their best to pull the arrow out, but Ali was crying in pain.
The companion had to give up their efforts, and they turned up to the Prophet for a solution so that Ali could be a relieved of the killing pain. The Prophet told them that the arrow should be removed while Ali was offering naamaz as his concentration during the prayer would be so high that he won’t feel any pain.
The companion did what they were told; the arrow was pulled out while Ali was deep in prayer .Ali didn’t even come to know that arrow was being pulled out. This is an ideal example of what should be a man’s concentration while praying to the Almighty.
Prayer’s nowadays have become more of a custom than hearty devotion .We fail to collect ourselves spiritually when we pray and often the weirdest thoughts come to our mind.
We believe that if we ask something from deep within, the Almighty would answer our prayers.
“ALLAH,I DON’T WORSHIP YOU FOR THE FEAR OF HELL NOR DO I WORSHIP YOU FOR THE LUST OF HEAVEN……I SIMPLY WORSHIP YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH WORSHIPPING.
-HAZRAT ALI
But we seldom do it the way it ought to be. The customs of praying might be different in different religions but the essence is the same.
Prayers should be performed with great concentration and complete devotion; Prayers are the best form of mediation. We present ourselves in front of the Creator when we pray, Hazrat Ali had once said,”Allah,I don’t worship you for the fear of hell, nor do I worship you for the lust of heaven………I simply worship you because you are worth worshipping.”
This shows the kind of perfect belief Hazrat Ali had in the Almighty .Each one of us can do the same provided there is sincerity, devotion, and purity of mind. Prayers are not done to achieve material benefits but to calm down one’s turbulent mind so that one can have a peaceful and contented life.
