...for every time a slave of Allah bowed down in silent obedience. The worshipper's forehead laying still in complete submission.
Oh dear Muslim, for you are dear to me, when it all gets too much, find comfort in prayer. Just take some time, bow your head and let sincerity diffuse throughout your heart.
Its worked for me, dear Muslim. So many a times and the Prophet (pbuh) has instructed me that I am not a believer until I love for my brother what I love for myself.
It will not take much time or effort but the effects can last a lifetime. Submission is bliss. Submit to the Creator of the heavens and the Earth.
Call on your Lord humbly and secretly. He does not love those who overstep the limits. (Surat al- A'raf: 55)
He is the Living-there is no god but Him-so call on Him, making your religion sincerely His. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. (Surah Ghafir: 65)
He invites us openly, our Lord does. What greater mercy is there in answering the call of the worshipper. Don't be the loser and reject this invitation.
Salam alaykum.

Great post. I just wanted to comment on the picture you tagged along with your post: The picture with the infant/toddler in prayer.
I'm just asking: was the baby performing prayer and then someone called out his name and thats why he turned around to look in the direction of the camera? Perhaps you have the answer? I need to know! Other then that, may Allah have mercy on your soul.
Ma'salaam
PS. I actually placed this comment into another post of your (my bad)
I have no idea but all I know is that it is a great example of photography, the look on the toddler's face is priceless. I think it may have happened that way though. Like, the photographer was around and then the toddler noticed them and decided to have a sneak peak, hey presto!.
would you think that the photographer thought that so many would ask that question?
Wassalam
No. I dont think so. But knowing myself, I couldnt help but ponder over that question and then, I asked. **Looks down**
So I'm thinking, evenually inshAllah when Allah grants me a child, I'm gonna take him to the masjid, he'll probably be around 1-2 years of age, and when he is praying his sunnah, I'm gonna capture that moment with the HD camera. Hopefully, it wont affect his overall focus and concentration for the prayer. Good thing or bad? You tell me.
mashallah, the kid is going to be performing sunnah at 1, thats admirable, mashallah.
Lets be honest, moments like that are priceless and very hard to come by.
You'll have the little one knackered in attempts to catch the perfect glare. He'll be like 'aabo, ee dah,leave it, i can't pull that face that you want' lol.
Yeah right, it will affect his concentration.
you can spend eternity trying though.
