Almost three years ago,I wrote on this subject,here is the link if you have not read it before or wish to refresh your memory.I still remember a friend in her early 50's told me that she only experienced 3 times the joy of solat.And I know of someone who felt sad to say salam(ending the solat) because he was in the state of 'joy' with his Lord,Allahu Rabbul 'Alamin!
Let me share my cycling experience when I started cycling every weekend at Putrajaya under the leadership of Col(R) Haji Azuddin about two years ago.Every weekend I always looked forward to the ride and after each ride,I was asking when and where to ride again.Why? Simply because I enjoy the ride.When I took my friend to ride at FRIM,the same thing happened to him.He really enjoyed the ride and the trail and after our ride,he asked me,"When is the next ride,Abedib?"
Khusoo' is the key to enjoyment is solat.Here is the link for you to explore further.Every muslim/muslimah knows the importance of solat,but do we give it enough time and put enough effort to upgrade its quality & quantity as as we grow older and closer to death?Have we ever wondered if Allah has accepted our solat?Doing good deeds and performing solat is one thing but what matters more is it accepted by Allah swt?
Let us be reminded by the first two ayats from Surah al-Mu'minuun:
Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani.
[1] Sesungguhnya berjayalah orang-orang yang beriman.
[2] Iaitu mereka yang khusyuk dalam sembahyangnya.
Let us seek comfort in our solat,insyaAllah.
