Apply Protection Prayer God Of Four Ugliness

There is a prayer taught by the Prophet shollallahu 'alaih wa sallam. It contains the request that God would protect us from the four evils. Prayer reads as follows: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge which is not useful, from a heart that does not khusyu ', the passion which is never satisfied, and of a prayer that is not granted." (Reported by Muslim, 4899)


Every Muslim would not want to get involved with all four kinds of evils mentioned in this prayer. First, science which is not useful. Science which is not helpful is all kinds of science that does not lead to the addition of one faith. Useless science is not just undermine faith that the longer person's faith is running low. While useful knowledge is knowledge that makes a person grow closer to God.


The next evil is to have a heart that does not khusyu '. This means the heart is not subject to God. Hearts are wild and do not rely on God in reaching peace. In fact, one of the believer's characteristics is when he remembers Allah, hearts will find a satisfaction.


Third, passion that never satiated. This is the next evil. Moreover, we are going through the darkest era in the history of Islam. In this age of so much calumny spread, so the bid to keep the passion emerging around us. Almost in all situations there is an opportunity to indulge passion. So in times like this is a very necessary self-control. Very necessary ability to satisfy desires in a manner appropriate and proportionate Shari'a. Islam did not come to kill the passion. Islam came to control the passion. Hence the need of gratification of lust is not switched off but is directed to comply with the rules of the Shari'a of Allah. And when this is done is not only a person free from sin, even he could get the reward from God for the fulfillment of passion in the appropriate laws of God.


Fourth, prayer that is not granted. This is definitely bad. Imagine, a Muslim praying to God but not granted. Clearly this is a disaster. And God himself guarantees that if someone asked something for God, Allah will grant. Certainly one condition: first, Asked only to God, not the Other; second, Fulfill all the commandments of God and third, Believe in truth to Allah SWT.
