That\u2019s why we pray.\nBecause we\u2019re not perfect, we\u2019re sinners. We do wrong.\nPray. Allah says \u201cThe Prayer will take you away from sin\u201d. Pray.\nYou know sometimes people say, \u201cLook, let me straighten my life out\u201d\n\u201cand Insha\u2019Allah I will start praying\u201d.\nHabibi you will never straighten anything out if you don\u2019t pray.\nThat\u2019s why you pray, to straighten your life out.\nNothing my brothers and sisters\nLet no man get between you and Allah. Pray.\nNo matter what is happening in your life. Pray.\nNo matter where you are. Pray.\nYou know sometimes people come to you and tell you\n\u201cBrother, sister you\u2019re a hypocrite.\u201d\n\u201cSister, you know, you don\u2019t wear the Hijab and you pray.\u201d\nTell her \u201cSister, thank you very much. I\u2019m a hypocrite, May Allah reward you.\u201d\nBut my prayer is between me and Allah.\nNo body else\u2019s business.\nThe Prophet of Allah he says the difference between us and them, is the prayer.\nThe very first question on the day of resurrection\nthat you\u2019re going to be asked is about the prayer.\nIf you pass, then everything after that is going to be easy.\nBut if you fail that, then everything after that is just going to get worse.\nSo pray. Pray my brothers you will earn Allah\u2019s love\nPray and you will earn His mercy and His forgiveness.\nImagine your friend is Allah. Never mind wealth, the Heavens and the Earth belongs to Him.\nYou become an unstoppable force when Allah is on your side.\nSo please my brothers and sisters, no matter what\u2019s happening in your life pray.\nDon\u2019t let anyone turn you away from Allah.\nYou know when your forehead is on the floor. That\u2019s the closest you will ever be to Allah\nCry to him, beg to him. Ask Allah for direction and you will see happiness through prayer.\nWe ask Allah to make us of those who establish their prayer and never leave it no matter what.\nAsalamu Alaykum","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
