Satan’s Whispers in Night Prayer and Congregational Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In another psychological state, we enter the congregation and want to reach a final seclusion with knowledge, but we are in a state of doubt, so what are we in?

Answer:
Stand up, stand up! This is from Satan. Satan comes to you and you do not stand up, because this becomes a criticism that discourages you. No, stand up! If Allah wills, there is nothing on you but well-being, and you are not being wronged, if Allah wills. Among people, Satan comes to one and says to him, “Do not accept the congregation, because if you pray in the congregation, it will save you from this showing off, and then you will pray in your house.” This is from Satan. He says to him, “Do not strive in prayer for Allah so that it is not said of you that you are brave, and so on and so on.” Then you become deluded and repelled, and this becomes showing off. All of this is undermining by Satan. A person should proceed with righteous deeds, be sincere to Allah the Exalted, leave the whispers, stand up for night prayer, and fast voluntarily. And if Allah wills, he is upon great good.
