Meaning: (Do not make the worship of Allah a habit)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I read in one of the books a piece of advice, which is not to make the worship of Allah a habit. How does a Muslim make the worship of Allah an act of worship to Allah, rather than a habit he has become accustomed to? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The meaning is that you do not perform it as a habit; you perform it as an act of nearness, so that you draw near to Allah through it, not because it is a habit. If you pray the Duha prayer, you pray it for the sake of drawing near to Allah, not because it is a habit. Likewise, if you pray the Tahajjud prayer at night, you pray it because it is an act of nearness; because it is obedience, not merely because it is a habit, or because your father or your mother did it. No, you pray to draw near to Allah, you pray it because it is worship; because it is obedience to Allah. The Duha prayer, the night prayer, the voluntary prayers accompanying the obligatory prayers, that is how it is. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
