The Joy of Worship
Imam Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه discusses this subject by saying, “People are deprived from sweetness in their ṣalāh, recitation of the Qur'ān and duꜤāˈ. If you find sweetness in these three things, thank Allāh Almighty. If people are unable to attain these, then know the doors of goodness have been closed upon them.”[1]
اللہُ اَکْبَر!Think for a moment! Look how detrimental it is to not find joy in your ṣalāh, recitation of the Qur'ān or duꜤāˈ! Sadly, many of us fall into this category today.
* We find it hard to offer ṣalāh.
* We do not recite the Qur'ān for months, sometimes years on end.
* We do not even think to recite the Qur'ān.
* We do make duꜤāˈ after we offer ṣalāh.
* But even in this, do we ask wholeheartedly and with full attention?
* How do we go about making duꜤāˈ in the first place?
* What are we thinking of when we make duꜤāˈ?
* How much presence and humility do we feel when we ask from Allāh?
All of these things are extremely important for us to think about. It is a most grievous matter!
* We have moved far away from our true purpose in life, which is to worship Allāh.
