DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 26th day of Muharram, 1446AH (Thursday, 1st August 2024).
Deliberately anticipating the movements of the imaam (when praying in congregation). BismilLah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Deliberation is from Allaah and haste is from Shaytaan.” (Reported by al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra, 10/104; see also al-Silsilah, 1795).
One often notices, when praying in congregation, people to the left and right anticipating the imaam in rukuu, sujuud and the takbeeraat that signal changes in position - one even notices it in oneself too, sometimes. People may even precede the imaam in giving salaam at the end of the prayer. This is a matter which may appear unimportant to many, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) issued a stern warning when he said: “Does the person who raises his head before the imaam not fear that Allaah may turn his head into the head of a donkey?” (Reported by Muslim, 1/320-321). SubhaanAllah. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
