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 recieve from the hardships you encounter while
trying
