Amjad Tarsin – Don’t Be Afraid to Wrangle Your Nafs Ego So You Can Concentrate in Prayer

			That the first thing is to force,
and this is a really beautiful and
		

			powerful word. One of the names of
Allah subhanahu is Al qahhar, the
		

			one who is overpowering and
dominating Subhanallah that this
		

			is the word that's used here, any
that a person dominates and forces
		

			the nafs to return back to
contemplating and understanding
		

			the words that are being recited
in the Salah,
		

			and to focus and to force it to
focus on that over all other
		

			things. And what helps a person do
that is that they prepare before
		

			they enter into the prayer, and
that they remind themselves of the
		

			Hereafter, and that they will
stand before Allah, Subhanahu wa
		

			and the result of that judgment
is, is significant, is so
		

			significant and dangerous that
they need To think of that in the
		

			moment of the Salah, okay, that it
is such an intense Allah. Subhanho
		

			wa Taala says that the
disbelievers on that day,
		

			subhanAllah, I just learned the
meaning of this ayah recently,
		

			that the disbelievers on that day,
they when they see the scales and
		

			when they see the judgment, they
will be in such terror that they
		

			will look up and their eyes will
be in such horror that they'll be
		

			wide eyed and they won't even be
able to blink.
		

			For how many years will they be
experiencing that, where it will
		

			be so intense that they won't even
be able to blink? So you remind
		

			yourself of that in the Salah.
What would I be like if I was true
		

			and I am but if the veil was
lifted and I'm standing before
		

			Allah subhanahu wa what kind of
adab and presence would I have? So
		

			your remind your nafs of that?
