i got this from e-mail:

Wake up 4 Fajar (Subuh) Prayers

A man woke up early in order to pray the
Fajr Prayer at the masjid. He got dressed, made his
ablution and was on is way to the masjid.
On his way to the masjid, the man
fell and his clothes got dirty.

He got up, brushed himself off, and
headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, made his
ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, he fell again
and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself
off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes, made his
ablution and was on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, he met a man
holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the
man replied I saw you fall twice on your way to the masjid, so I brought
a lamp so I can light your way.' The first man thanked him
profusively and the two where on their way to the masjid.

Once at the masjid, the first man asked
the man with the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him.
The second man
refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and,
again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not
wish to come in and pray. The man replied,'I am Satan (devil/evil)' The man was shocked at this reply. Satan
went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the
masjid and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and
went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins.

I made you fall a second time, and even
that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you
went back on your way to the masjid.
Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household

I was AFRAID if i made you fall one more time,
then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your village,
so i made sure that you reached the masjid safely!'

So do not let Satan benefit from his actions.
Do not put off a good that you intended to do as you never know
how much reward you might receive from the hardships you
encounter while trying to achieve that good.May Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala grant us to be perfect Muslim heart n we all do our prayers with our Heart and Soul....Ameen.

reminds me of ayatul kursi. anyone knows of the story??

It is reported by way of Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) that someone used to come upon him and take from the charity – which the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) had made him guardian over – night after night, so on the third night, he said: "I will report you to the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), the man said: 'Let me teach you some phrases with which Allah will cause you benefit’ – they were very eager for good – so he said: 'When you go to, read ayat al-kursi (Verse 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah) completely, for there is still upon you from Allah a guardian, and no shaitan can get close to you until you enter upon morning.' Then he (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "He told you the truth and he is a liar, (that was a shaitan).
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
