Ibn-Al Qayyim Al Jawziyyah
(Rahimualaah) Said:
Level 5- The one who is
negligent and wrongs his soul. He is the one who falls short of doing ablution
properly, not performing prayer on time and within specified limits.
Level 4- The one who guards
his prayer upon their proper times and within the limits performs essential
pillars and performs ablution with care (however his striving in achieving this
is wasted-due to whispering in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and
ideas).
Level 3- The one who guards
his prayer within the specified times, essential pillars and performs ablution
and strives to repel the whispering thoughts and ideas, he is busy struggling
against his enemy shaytaan.
Level 2- The one who stands
for prayer, completes and perfects its due rights and essential pillars,
performs it within the specified time and his heart is engrossed in safe guarding
its rights and specified limits so that nothing is wasted from it, his concern
is directed towards the establishment, its completion and its perfection as it
should be, his heart is immersed in prayer and in enslavement to his lord
exalted.
Level 1- Everything
perfected.
OUTCOME TO EACH LEVEL
Level 5- Will be punished
Level 4- Will be held
account
Level 3- Will have his sins
and shortcomings expiated
Level 2- Will be rewarded
Level 1- The best
Now think about which level
you are on?
The minimum level you
should be on is level 3
