How can I achieve this? I want Salah to be the Coolness of my eyes.... I see some friends around me, when they miss a prayer they feel bad n regret.
I have never been a regular Namazi. Rather few salah i would say in a week.
I have started off saying regular prayers lately except Fajr. When i miss a prayer due to guests or sleep or any other excuse. I don't feel bad. I am absolutely ok with it.
But I hate this reaction of mine towards salah. Which shouldn't be like this. May Allah have HIS mercy over me.
Any help?
The fact that you are concerned about this is a sign of Īmān. May Allāh increase it and safeguard you in your path towards Him.
To avoid sin, a slave of Allāh must inculcate the fear of Allāh in his/her heart. The perfect balance of fear is that proportion which becomes an obstacle between us and transgressing against Allāh.
Kindly refer to these notes from Week 1 of a class on Islamic spirituality titled "Attaining Sublime Character".

I posted notes for the same class in this forum post along with details and the link to the complete folder (although I could not finish the course) in case it is of any benefit.
Very good thread and something that we all struggle with from time to time, Insha'Allah if members can post lectures and articles by Ulemah on this issue then this thread can become a great resource, for all of us.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
