Ali Hammuda – Hajj vs Cup of water

			Imagine Roger Ver handily mentioned the story of a man from the past who used to embark on the
journey of hedge every year on foot. And he had no hardship in doing so he was very motivated. On
one night, however, whilst he was asleep, his mother requested from him a cup of water from the same
house.
		

			And subhanAllah he found himself very lazy, not finding the enthusiasm to get out of bed and to to
bring his mother a cup of water. Now, he paused here, began to reflect
		

			how he managed to find the eagerness to embark on Hajj yearly by foot. But he failed when it came to
serving his mother who was just meters away, not miles away, meters away. How come he realized that
that moment that penny dropped, that what was giving him the motivation to carry out hajj on a
yearly basis was the praise of people. And this therefore became the beginning of his islamic
awakening at the beginning of his repentance to Allah subhanho wa taala. This is advice number one,
the fact that we we find the willpower to travel across the other side of the globe and to endure
the hardship of Hajj, but we still remain unmotivated to go across the road perhaps is to pre
		

			selected Asia. The issue of prayer in congregation or to wake up on time for failure is a very
worrying sign.
