Iblis deceived many ignorant worshippers to make them think that<br />

worship was only to stand up and sit down (i.e. bodily motion). <strong>The</strong>y<br />

focus on this and ignore some of the prayer duties without them<br />

knowing so.<br />

I have noticed that some people say salam (at the end of prayer)<br />

while the <strong>Imam</strong> is saying it and before completing their tashahhud.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Imam</strong> does not carry the saying of the tashahhud off from them<br />

(i.e. his perfomring it does not relieve them from doing it) .<br />

Others read a lot in prayer but do not perform the Sunnahs (nonobligatory<br />

parts) of prayer, and commit disliked things during it.<br />

Once I visited a person during the day and found him reading<br />

aloud during voluntary prayers. I told him that reading aloud during<br />

the day was disliked. He replied: I am repelling sleepiness away <strong>by</strong><br />

reading aloud. I said: "Sunnah should not be abandoned just so you<br />

can stay awake. And whenever you feel sleepy you should sleep because<br />

your body has rights over you."<br />

Section Three<br />

Praying Excessively at Night<br />

Iblis has deceived some worshipers to perform a lot of night<br />

prayers. Some of them pray the entire night, and they feel happier<br />

when performing night and duhti prayers more than obligatory<br />

prayers. Some fall asleep right before fqjr and miss the obligatory<br />

prayer. Others wake up too lazy to work for sustaining their families.<br />
