MY eNTRY

just reading ''Ocean In A Drop'' By Sir Wasif Ali Wasif...sharing an extract from the chapter ANXIETY

''Life is destined to remain entangled with anxiety.some time u are worried about ur own self,some times about others,sometimes u are troubled by ur present life ,some time u see the scenario after death come alive before your ayes.no matter what the circumstances,anxiety is always at ur side.it never gives u a moment of respite.And it is impossible to shake it off unless u Beg HIM ,u pray to HIM ,for help Who gave u life.only that orgnaization whiich built the machine in the first place knows how to look after,use and repair it''

My Entry...........Hope it's acceptable!

Please note only the paragraph highlighted in red is chosen for the competition. I posted the whole thing first, but seemed a bit too long...so then I highlighted one part and left the other there in case it may be of interest to someone!

Prayer means "calling on, addressing, making a fervent request, asking for help." In the Qur'an, prayer is also described as "turning to Allah with all one's soul" or the "acknowledgement of one's weaknesses and limited power before Allah's infinite might, and asking for help from Him."

Anyone who has faith in Allah prays to Him in one way or another. However, the majority of people turn to prayer as a last resort, after having exhausted all possible alternatives during times of trouble or stress. Once the hardship is over, they forget about remembering Allah and imploring Him, until the next time they experience trouble.

There are other people who misunderstand prayer completely. For them, prayer is some incomprehensible ritual taught by the family's elderly members. They do not think about Allah's existence, greatness and might while praying. They scarcely remember that Allah always sees and hears people, and that He answers prayers. They repeat memorized words without giving any thought to them. However, the form of prayer that Allah describes in the Qur'an, which is the subject of this book, is quite different.



Allah is pleased as long as people retain the consciousness of being Allah's servant. For this reason, turning to Allah, confessing one's mistakes to Him and asking for help only from Him are essentials of being Allah's servant. A contrary attitude means growing arrogant towards Allah, which, according to the Qur'an, leads to an eternal torment in Hell.

In our day, as is the case with some other forms of worship, prayer is perceived by many as an obsolete tradition. This notion has been reinforced by the idea that the world is self-contained and independent of Allah. Some people assume that they, or the people around them, have control over the events they encounter throughout their lives, so they do not feel the need to pray to Allah until they encounter a disaster or come close to death. This is a delusion, which in some cases drags people to the point of perceiving prayer as a kind of sorcery that has survived to our day. The fact is that prayer is a form of worship that permeates every aspect of one's life.

All people, without exception, are in need of prayer. It is only flawed thinking to assume that a poor person trying to survive under harsh living conditions needs prayer more than a well-off person. It is erroneous to think that someone who has attained everything he or she desired does not need prayer, for such a conviction limits the meaning of prayer to satisfaction of worldly desires. Believers pray both for their life in this world and the next. Prayer is accompanied by putting one's trust in Allah, for which reason a person who prays acquires the consciousness that the Creator and Judge of the universe is in charge of the events they encounter, whether minor or significant. Awareness that all the methods to cope with or prevent a problem rests with Allah, the All-Mighty, and thus putting one's trust in Him and praying to Him alone, instills a sense of relief and security in a believer.

The Importance of Prayers (Dua)

Prayer(Dua) in Isalam


What is Prayer Dua?

Psychological and spiritual benefits of making Dua.

There are several consequences:
a) It increases the faith of the supplicant, who acknowledges the fact that Allah (SWT) is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and is the ultimate recourse.
b) It gives hope and the strength to the distressed soul, and saves from despair.
c) It brings the supplicant closer to the Creator, strengthening the bond between them.
d) It increases humility, which in turn increases piety.
e) It curbs ego and vanity.
