too should not be lazy in praying for freedom from the evil of the devil and our Nafs because prayer is the weapon of a Muslim. Prayers can change destiny. Here are two sayings of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:
1. Should I not tell you the thing that will bring you salvation from your enemy and increase your sustenance; pray to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ night and day because prayer is the weapon of a Mu`min.
(Musnad Abī Ya’lā, vol. 2 pp. 201, Ḥadīš 1806)
Prayer changes destiny and kindness increases life. And a bondman is deprived of sustenance because of committing sin. (Sunan Ibn Mājaĥ, vol. 4, pp. 379, Ḥadīš 4022)
On page 199 of part 16 of the 312-page book Baĥār-e-Sharī’at published by Dawat-e-Islami’s publication department Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, Ṣadr-ush-Sharī’aĥ, Badr-uṭ-Ṭarīqaĥ, ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Muftī Muhammad Amjad ‘Alī A’ẓamī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی said: This Ḥadīš means that prayer removes calamities. Destiny in this Ḥadīš refers to ‘Mu’allaq destiny’. This is also the meaning of an increase in life because kindness increases one’s life. And sustenance here refers to spiritual reward in the afterlife because sins can deprive the sinner of it. In some cases, sinner may also be deprived of worldly sustenance.
