One of My Favourite Hadiths:


Anas (radhiallahu anhu) said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) say: “Allah the Exalted said: “O son of Adam! As long as you invoke Me and plead to Me, I will forgive you whatever you have committed, and I will not make much of it. O son of Adam! If your evil deeds reach the borders of the sky, and then you ask Me for forgiveness, I will forgive you. O son of Adam! If you bring forth the earth full of errors, then you meet Me while you do not associate anything (or anyone) with Me, I will bring forth for you its full forgiveness.” [At-Tirmidhee (Shaikh Albanee rendered it as Hasan)]

Saturday


Saturday's Super Prayer:

4 rakaa's 

Recite in each rakaa:

  • Al Fatiha
  • Al Ikhlas 3 times
  • Ayatul Kursi

God will write for you the reward of one Hajj, one Umra, one year's worth of fasting, and one years worth of prayer FOR EACH WORD, and you will reside with the Prophets and martyrs under the Throne of God.



So you can see just how intense some of these prayers can be! Ikhlas 100 times!? How do you even count that!? You'd need someone keeping track, or some kind of voice activated counter or something! Some aren't so bad though, like that last one. I tip my hat to anyone who can do Thursday's though. If you can do that, you deserve a medal or something! :)
