Some things to ponder over 🤔 💭
A’oodhu-Billahi-Minashaitanir-Rajeem
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem📚 AL-FAWÄID: A Collection of Wise Sayings by Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim(may Allāh have mercy on him).
💎 How strange it is that when a servant of Allāh has a problem, he seeks the help of Allāh but he never asks Allāh to cure his
heart before it dies of ignorance, negligence, fulfilling one’s desires and being involved in innovations. Indeed, when the heart dies,
he will never feel the significance or impact of his sins.
===============================
🔴⚪️🔵 The Satanic Ways of Tempting
♦️ Increase and Extravagance ~ to have more than one needs — This addition is the way, which Satan uses to enter the heart. To protect oneself from that is to be careful not to fulfill all the needs of the soul like food, sleep, pleasure, or rest. Whenever you close this door, you would be safe from any enemy.
♦️ Negligence — Whoever remembers Allāh is protected by the fortress of remembering Him. When he neglects that he will be opening the door of this fortress and the enemy will enter. It would then be difficult to drive him out.
♦️ Caring for what is not his business in all matters of life.
====================
🔴⚪️🔵 Useless Matters
♦️ Knowledge that is not acted on.
♦️ The deed that has neither sincerity nor is based on following the righteous examples of others.
♦️ Money that is hoarded, as the owner neither enjoys it during this life nor obtains any reward for it in the Hereafter.
♦️ The heart that is empty; has neither love
nor longing for Allāh, and does not want to be close to Him.
♦️ A body that does not obey and serve Allāh.
♦️ Loving Allāh without following His orders or seeking His pleasure.
♦️ Time that is not spent in expiating sins or seizing opportunities to do good.
♦️ A mind that thinks about what is useless.
♦️ Serving those who will not bring you close to Allāh nor will benefit you in your life.
♦️ Hoping and fearing whoever is under the authority of Allāh and is in His hand; has no authority over himself either to do good,
bad, bring about death, life, or to resurrect himself.
💎 However, the greater of these matters are wasting the heart and wasting time.
🔹Wasting the heart is done by preferring this worldly life more than the Hereafter, and
🔹 Wasting time is done by having incessant hope.
Decay occurs by following one’s desires and having incessant hope while all goodness is found in following the right path and preparing oneself to meet Allāh.
Only Allāh subḥānahu wa ta’āla knows the best…
