Shaytaan 1st comes for your Taharah -Wudhu
![Page 9: DEAR DIARY - greenlanemasjid.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf7cf3e45b1e411d15c353/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dear Diary…
“I'm really struggling with my wudhu!
I'm just not sure if I'm cleaning myself properly…what if there is some splash back for the toilet when I do istanja? What if I got something on my clothes…
I think I should just get in the shower just to be sure …but doing this 5 times a day is just so difficult…I really don’t know what to do!”
![Page 10: DEAR DIARY - greenlanemasjid.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf7cf3e45b1e411d15c353/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Shaytaan then moves in for the real target – Your Salah
![Page 11: DEAR DIARY - greenlanemasjid.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf7cf3e45b1e411d15c353/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Salah is too difficult…”
+ “I'm going through all this doubt about my wudhu and repeating it over and over …can take
me an hour in the bathroom!
+ Then comes the salah! Ya Allah! I just can’t remember how many rakat I read…now I'm
even forgetting WHAT I’ve actually read…sometimes I can’t even remember Surah al
Fatiha…”
![Page 12: DEAR DIARY - greenlanemasjid.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf7cf3e45b1e411d15c353/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Maybe I should just leave my salah…Allah knows I’m suffering”
![Page 13: DEAR DIARY - greenlanemasjid.org](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf7cf3e45b1e411d15c353/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Dear Diary…
“I wear hijab, I pray, I look after my parents , I've stayed away from haram relationships…I make dua ALL the time
BUT STILL IM NOT MARRIED!
Why are my duas not answered?
How is this fair when girls who don’t even pray salah have gotten married!”

dua.

from 'Abdullah that the Prophet ( ( صلى الله عليه وسلم prayed five (rak'ahs), and the people whispered to one another, then
