💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 As humans it is impossible to achieve complete perfection with regards to how we appear, behave and fulfill our obligations. At times we may unintentionally delay some obligatory prayers due to fatigue, stress or oversleeping. You may recall that time when you took an afternoon nap after lunch and woke up just before Salat Al-Maghreb, missing out on the rewards of praying Salat Al-'Asr early. You probably felt guilty, ashamed and started questioning if there was something wrong you did which prevented you from waking up to pray earlier with the others. Then your nafs starts suggesting evil thoughts like "you failed. Don't bother praying again. Allah doesn't love you, why pray when you're not close to being perfect for it?" such dangerous mindset must not make you quit serving your Creator Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. Regardless of how many times you've overslept, or prayed some prayers late due to work or forgetfulness, keep forcing yourself to stand up, strengthen your faith/Imaan instead of letting it decrease, and carry out your duty to worship Allah the Most Forgiving.
Refuse to be slowed down by negative thinking, and do not allow yourself to fail Allah's tests by listening to shaytan's evil whisperings.
Always remember that Allah's Mercy is far greater than your mom's affection for you and that Allah loves those striving believers who constantly return to Him.
To compensate for any loss, shortcomings and lacking regarding your responsibilities to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, courageously make effort to pray more Sunnah prayers like Salat Ad-Duha, Tahajjud Qiyaam Al-Layl and the voluntary prayers that are recommended to pray before and after certain obligated prayers.
On Judgment Day Inn-sha-Allah you'll be grateful and relieved that you prayed many Sunnah prayers that compensated for any mistake and delay.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The first action for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, he will have prospered and succeeded. If they are lacking, he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, then Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala will say: 'See if My servant has any voluntary prayers that can complete what is insufficient in his obligatory prayers.' The rest of his deeds will be judged the same way."
