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?
