Heedlessness
BismillahirRahmanirRahim. The first Fard (obligation)in worshipping is cleanliness, to say: 'Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim'. Actions are judged according to the intentions behind them. Before doing anything this must be said so the action is for the sake of Allah. Also the 500 Halal (listed good actions) must be said with 'Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim', each Rakaat, not only the first, because Shaitan always approaches in each new Rakaat and he sends thoughts to the one who prays. Shaitan is the reason that the servant doesn't come close to Allah (qurb) and gets away from Him. Don't be heedless!
Fatiha.
