10 things that delay prayer

One day a Sufi saint Ibrahim Adham was passing
through the bazaar in the city of Basra when he was
surrounded by people who said to him: "O Ibrahim!
Allah (SWT) has stated in the Noble Qur'an that:
"Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer)"; we call
upon Allah (SWT) but our prayer is not answered.
Ibrahim Adham said: "The reason is because your
hearts have died due to ten things so that your
supplications have no sincerity as your hearts are
not pure and free of contamination."
They asked: "What are those ten issues?" Ibrahim
Adham replied:
01: First and foremost you have accepted Allah
(SWT) but have not repaid His claim.
02: You have recited the Noble Qur'an but have not
practiced it.
03: You profess your love of the Holy Prophet of
Islam (saw), but are opposed to his Household (as) .
04: You claim to have enmity with Shaitan (Satan)
but in practice you are in agreement with him.
05: You say that you are fond of heaven but in
order to enter heaven you have not done anything.
06: You said that you were afraid of the Hell Fire,
but have thrown your bodies in to it.
07: You were busy slandering and criticizing people
but were ignorant of your own shortcomings and
faults.
08: You said that you didn't like the world but are
greedily following it.
09: You confess to the reality of death but don't
prepare yourself for it.
10: You have buried the dead but haven't taken a
lesson or guidance from it.
These are the 10 practices (Ten Reasons) which
cause prayers to remain unanswered.
"Prayer is not a spare wheel that you pull out when
YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, It is a steering wheel that
keeps you on the right path throughout your life."

[Must share it is an act of jihad]
