The ruling on leaving the congregational prayer due to obsessive thoughts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said, may Allah keep you safe: We live in a group and we want to go to the house at the time of the last prayer, but we are men, so what should we do?
Answer:
Go, go! This is from Satan. Satan comes to you and says, "Do not go, because this will cost you a riyal," to discourage you. No, go, if Allah wills, you owe nothing but well-being, and you will be rewarded, if Allah wills. Satan comes to him and says, "Do not pray with the congregation, because if you pray with the congregation, it is showing off," and then he prays at home. This is from Satan. He says to him, "Do not strive in the path of Allah, lest it be said of you that you are brave and such, and you become arrogant with yourself. This would be riba (usury or interest)." All of this is deception from Satan. A person should proceed with righteous deeds, be sincere to Allah the Exalted, leave the obsessive thoughts, rise for the night prayer, and perform voluntary prayer. And if Allah wills, he is in a state of great good.
