💕ISLAMIC THINKING💕

- Beware of the Devil's Tricks - They are the cause of relapse after righteousness. The Devil continues to extinguish the light of faith in the heart until the heart becomes darkened. He leads the servant to neglect obligatory prayers, then to indulge in permissible things, then to consider minor sins as insignificant, and then to neglect obligatory duties, to consider major sins as trivial, and finally, to doubt the religion itself.

"As long as you are a Muslim, make room in your heart for the Book of Allah."

Don't think that because you haven't seen the answer to your prayers, you are deprived of their blessings and benefits. For if you worship Allah through prayer, you will receive the reward for that act of worship. This is something that those who only pray to achieve specific goals often overlook, without enjoying the pleasure of communicating with Allah. Taste the sweetness of prayer, and it will make you forget the hardship of waiting for an answer and the bitterness of trials. • Dr. Sultan Al-Arabi.

كما قال بعضهم : استعيذوا بالله من خشوع النفاق. قالوا : وما خشوع النفاق؟ قال : أن ترى الجسد خاشعًا والقلب ليس بخاشع. ونظر عمر رضي الله عنه إِلَى شاب قد نكس رأسه فَقَالَ له : يا هذا ، ارفع رأسك ، فإن الخشوع لا يزيد عَلَى ما في القلب . فمن أظهر للناس خشوعًا فوق ما في قلبه ، فإنما هو نفاق عَلَى نفاق.

"The afflicted person only complains to others when he is in isolation from Allah and has not tasted the sweetness of supplication and the pleasure of complaining to Allah. Complaining to Allah is honor and happiness. It is enough for the troubled and distressed person to relieve his worries that Allah hears and knows his situation before he complains to Him. The created beings do not know your situation until you complain to them"

When a person is blessed by Allah with abundant remembrance (dhikr), Allah blesses their time and their deed. The past scholars, you would find that one of them would write many notebooks in a short period of time, despite their hard work, conditions, and limited means." - التعليق على صحيح مسلم ج 2 ص 29

واللهِ إني لأتعجَّب من أمرِ تارك الصلاة، I swear by Allah, I am amazed by the condition of the one who abandons Salah. ماذا يفعل عندما تَضيقُ عليهِ الدُنيا، وتَخدش الحياة بـ أنيابها قَلبهُ، وتُغلَّق الأبواب في وجههِ، ويلوي البلاء مُعصمهِ! What does he do when the world tightens around him, when life scratches his heart with its fangs, when the doors close in his face, and when affliction grips his wrist? بماذا يتصبَّر على الدُنيا والصَبرُ شَاق، وكيف يُحارب خبائثُ نفسهِ بلا سِلاح، وبمن يستأنس، وما هو دوَاءهُ وقد هجَر الطبيبُ، وكيف يُجلي ظُلمة الليل عن روحه، وماذا يفعل والشيطان قد كسّر قلعتهِ! How does he endure this world when patience is difficult, and how does he fight the evil within himself without any weapon? With whom does he seek solace, and what is his cure when the doctor has been abandoned? How does he dispel the darkness of the night from his soul, and what does he do when Shaytan has shattered his fortress? كيف يُعيد لنفسهِ التوازن، ويشدَّ ميثاق أكتافهِ التي أُرخيت، وفقرات ظهرهِ التي انحنَت، وإلى من يآوى ويرجو ويضطر، ويأخُذ العُهد مِن مَن كُل صباح! ، وبمن يستعين وعلى مَن يتوكّل! How does he restore balance to himself, strengthen the bond of his weakened shoulders, straighten his bent back, and to whom does he turn, hoping and seeking refuge? Who does he pledge to each morning? With whom does he seek help, and upon whom does he place his trust? واللّٰهِ إنهُ لمِسكين، كيف يُحاول السباحة عَكس التيار، كيف لا يتكوَّر في السجود ضعفًا أمام اللّٰه ليرتاح تناقض قلبهُ كما تكوَّر في رحم أُمه! By Allah, he is truly poor! How can he try to swim against the flow? How can he not bow/roll in prostration before Allah, seeking rest for his heart, just as he once curled in his mother's womb? كيفَ يُغلق باب من جَمَّلَهُ وآواهُ وأحبهُ! How can he shut the door on the One who has beautified him, sheltered him, and loved him? كيف يهجر الصلاة وهي النّاجي الوحيدُ مِن قَساوةِ هَذا العالَم، وإلى مَن يَفِرُّ بِقَلبِهِ هَارِباً مِن كُلِ شيَءٍ! How can he abandon prayer, the only means of salvation from the harshness of this world? To whom can he flee with his heart, escaping from everything else? بئسِ المُحب إذا هَجر، ونِعم الحبيب رغم المعاصي يُرحبُ. Wretched is the lover who abandons, but best is the beloved who still welcomes despite the sins.
