One of the characteristics of the Salafis is that they do not sleep after Fajr. If you have a tiring tour or work all night, do not sleep after Fajr. Instead, he waited for the sun to rise. After sunrise he would go to sleep to rest. Narrated from Anas (ra), he said, the Prophet (sm) said,
'Whoever performs the Fajr salat in congregation, then sits and remembers Allah Almighty till the sun rises, he will get the same merit as performing Hajj and Umrah'. [2] The Prophet (sm) himself used to follow this hadith. . He himself used to be engaged in the remembrance of Allah till sunrise after Fajr salat. [3] If he had any sleep or worldly talk, he would start it after sunrise.
4. Night salat:
Night salat is a secret key that takes a person to a height he never imagined. If a person wants to get his hopes and desires from Allah Almighty, then the easiest way is to perform salat at night. The main reason for the unique height that our Prophet Muhammad (sm) is standing today is the night salat. The salat of the night is also the main reason why he has been able to fulfill the guru's duty of the last prophet (sm) properly and carry the burden like the Qur'an. As Allah the Almighty says,
‘O sleeping man wrapped in a sheet! Wake up at night, even if a little! Wake up in the middle of the night or less! Or wake up more than that and recite the Qur'an with Tartil! Surely I will send down on you a heavy load. Surely waking up at night is more helpful in suppressing instincts and more eloquent in eloquence '(Muzammil, 1-6). In this verse, Allah the Almighty has asked Prophet Muhammad (sm) to perform salat while waking up at night in preparation for the revelation of something heavy. Because it is necessary to establish control over one's instincts in order to carry the burden of the great message like the Holy Qur'an and to fulfill the guru's duty of the last prophet. And waking up at night is the most helpful to establish self-control. Because if you wake up at night to perform salat, you have to fight against your own mind. Allah the Almighty further said,
‘And perform tahajjud salat at night as an additional responsibility! Hopefully your Lord will place you in the highest place of praise '(Isra, 79). In Maqbam, Mahmud is the highest place of the field of Resurrection, which Allah Almighty will bestow only on Muhammad (sm). In order to reach such a high place, Allah the Almighty has asked him to get up at night and perform salat. So getting up at night and performing salat is one of the means to reach the highest peak of success.
5. Personality development:
Personality should be so strong that people cannot use it. Rather you have to have control over yourself. It is the identity of extreme impersonality to go wherever the call goes uncontrollably and respond to everyone's call. You have to make your own decisions about everything. It’s good to take people’s advice, but shouldn’t be driven by people. Instead, people need to be able to say no. You have to develop the habit of saying no. Saying ‘yes’ to every deed and word and not being able to do it skillfully later destroys a person’s personality. So you have to keep the price of your tongue.
It is impossible to be successful in life without a developed personality. Personality must be influential. No matter who you come in contact with, he will be influenced by you. Personality emerges in speech and manners. And the greatest personality is the personality of knowledge. Those who float at the speed of the current, dance to the rhythm of the age, they are impersonal. Those who continue to fight for survival on the basis of their own ethics, in contrast to Srok, are personalities.
. Patience:
To hold on to the literal meaning of the word patience, to keep captive. When a hen is kept in a cage, the Arabic word for patience is used. There is no substitute for patience to be successful in life. The greatest characteristic of the five prophets whom Allah the Almighty has considered to be the five greatest prophets is patience. As Allah says, ‘Be patient like the steadfast prophets’ (Ahqaf, 35).
There are basically three types of patience. E.g .:
(A) Patience in good deeds:
Suppose someone wants to recite the Qur'an every morning, but after reciting it for a day or two, he cannot. One may want to get up at night and perform tahajjud salat, but after performing it for a day or two, he can no longer do so; Leaves. Most people complain of this problem. The real cause of this problem is basically their lack of patience. They cannot survive on any work by fighting against their own mind. Can't hold myself back. The most important thing to be successful in life is this first type of patience.
When you start a good work, you have to hold on to it, no matter how hard it is, no matter how many obstacles come. Winning a running competition is not the main goal, the main thing is how long you are going to stay in the race, how long you are going to be able to keep running. Being able to hold on to this is the real success. The first step in bringing this practice of patience to yourself may be to choose a period from the smallest to the smallest and continue to do it regularly. For example, the first step for patience may be to perform salat in congregation every five times. Then it may be possible to develop the habit of excessive nafl chhiyam. Then salat may be performed at night. Because Nafl Chiyam and night salat help to establish control over the mind by training the human mind. It can be kept in the smallest period of time by answering the call to prayer five times a day by memorizing, reciting Ayatollah Kursi after salat, entering the house with regular salutations etc.
B. Patience in evil deeds:
The identity of a true believer is to be able to endure the battle of keeping the mind away from the prohibitions of Allah Almighty. I will not listen to music, I repented. But after a week I am listening to music again. I promised not to smoke bidis. At the instigation of a friend, after a month, I started pulling again. That is defeat; Unable to be patient. Successful people are in control of almost every single situation. Can hold himself. Can survive on its own decision. Can win the battle with the mind. As long as there is life on the stormy river, it is a success to keep the boat afloat.
C. Patience in danger:
The path of man is not a flower bed, there will be danger; Being able to struggle with them is basically human life. Successful people are in control of almost every single situation. Rather bounce back. Turned around with full vigor. Trying again. Success is to turn again and again after losing again and again. God the Almighty said,
‘O you who believe! You pray for help through salat and patience. Surely Allah is with the patient '(Baqarah, 153). And those who will be with God, if they do not succeed, who will succeed? That is why it is said, ‘Fruits bear fruit’. As a result, success is not in a hurry but in working hard by biting the teeth.
. Relationship with the Creator:
Intimate relationship with the Creator helps people to grow in life. The greatest benefit of a relationship with the Creator is peace of mind. Such as giving thanks to Allah, relying on Allah, supplicating to Allah and asking for help, asking Allah for forgiveness for one's mistakes, etc. These are all food for the mind in the long run. This human body was created in the world, but the human heart came from heaven through angels. So it is important to maintain the relationship with the sky as the food of this heart. Hearts die without spiritual relationships. The biggest problem of human beings is that when they are happy, they forget Allah and when they are in danger, they remember Allah. That is why God the Almighty says,
‘Surely man has been created weak. When danger touches him, he becomes restless. And when good touches him, he becomes stingy '(Ma'arij, 19-21).
Despite their power and wealth, David and Solomon never became arrogant. The more God Almighty blessed them, the more they bowed down in the court of God Almighty. This humbleness and gratitude of man before God Almighty perpetuates God's mercy and grace on man. Otherwise the arrogance of man destroys him.
. Practice regular knowledge:
Most people make mistakes when they go somewhere. After finishing their studies and joining their careers, they no longer feel the need to study. Increasing knowledge then becomes a sniff for them. There is no interest in learning new things all the time. Gradually, with limited knowledge, they dropped out of the competition. Like dinosaurs, their names were once erased from the face of the earth. They do not have the ability to do anything significant.
So the biggest principle of successful people is to learn something every day. Whether you are a teacher, a farmer or a businessman, you need to have a routine to learn something new every day. If there is nothing new to learn, then you have to learn to brush with your left hand. You have to practice writing with your left hand. Yet the brain needs to be sharpened every day. As the brain acquires knowledge of new things, it will be able to work with more power and skill. You have to give something new to the talent all the time, otherwise the talent will become useless. So there is no substitute for learning something new.
