Question
As Salaamu Alaykum, if in the past my father has questioned me more than once about whether I have prayed the 2 Sunnahs of Fajr and I hadn’t and he would display anger,
Today I thought the Fajr congregation was at 5:30 and I had finished doing Wudu after that, I heard my father leave the house close to 5:45 and I then thought the congregation was at 5:45
I am thinking now that if I didn’t get up to go straight away, at this point I did not pray The Sunnah prayer and I’m wondering if I didn’t get up straight away so as not to get asked by my father on the way for example about praying The Sunnah prayer and I would also get thoughts that my father would think I had prayed them due to the time I spent in my room and may have this thought twice and then I stopped thinking these thoughts and cast them away
Then a fear was coming that did I commit Shirk by thinking those thoughts and then I feared if I fell into Shirk by not getting up to go the Masjid straight away.
Did I fall into Shirk?
Answer:
Wa ‘alaykum al-Salam wa Rahmatullah
After reading your question, i conclude:
This is not shirk and you should try to keep yourself busy so that these thoughts don’t capture your mind.
Recite Surah Falaq, Surah Naas, Ayah al Kursi and Ta’awwuz often and always keep yourself in the state of Wudu to protect yourself from the tricks and games of the Devil.
Jazākum’Allāhu Khayran
