By : Imam as-samarqandi translated by: islaam.com

The sign of scrupulous piety (al-wara`) is considering ten things mandatory upon oneself:
  1. Guarding the tongue from backbiting due to the saying of the Most High: “Do not backbite one another.” [49:12]
  2. Shunning suspicion due to the saying of the Most High: “Avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin.” [49:12] And also due to the saying of the Messenger, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, “Avoid suspicion, for airing suspicion is the most lying form of speech.” [Musnad Ahmad]
  3. Shunning mockery due to the saying of the Most High: “Let not a people ridicule another people; perhaps they may be better than them.” [49:11]
  4. Lowering gaze from forbidden things due to the saying of the Most High: “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze.” [24:30]
  5. Truthfulness of the tongue due to the saying of the Most High: “And when you speak, be just.” [6:152]
  6. Recognizing the blessings of Allah the Most High upon oneself in order to avoid conceitedness due to the saying of the Most High: “Rather, Allah has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful.” [49:17]
  7. Spending one’s wealth on good rather than bad things, due to the saying of the most High: “And those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly.” [25:67] Meaning, they do not spend on sinfulness and do not prevent obedience, “but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate.” [25:67]
  8. Not seeking haughtiness and pride for oneself, due to the saying of the Most High: “That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption.” [28:83]
  9. Maintaining with care the five prayers on time, with proper bowing and prostration, due to the saying of the Most High: “Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle [`asr] prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.” [2:238]
  10. Steadfastness upon the way of Sunnah and Jama`ah, due to the saying of the Most High: “And, this is My Path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.” [6:153]

reaching sincerity

Assalamu'alaikum,

alhamdulillah, I am still alive so do you, until this moment we are given the chances to improve ourselves.
I have always try to strive to be a better servant of Allah s.w.t

     I just read a book named "life is an open secret" by zabrina A. bakar

good for leisure reading, yet contains valuable secrets for those who want to delve deeper
in their life.

    One of the topic that interest me is that " would I marry me?"
it is a self improvement method that seems to be lame, but effective.
would I marry the present me? I can say, possibly or probably but not definitely. There are too mush things I need to improve and mend. Like being more responsible, and more diligent.

back to the point:

There are absolutely ways to reach sincerity, we just have to struggle more to find it. I am very positive that, when we see no way out, when there is no more road to pave, if we try, and never give up, impossible will turn to be possible. Life is like a puzzle, need effort and hard work to  finish it up. When we see the bigger picture, we will be more confidence and certain in our decisions.

We need first to monitor our heart when we so something. If we intend to speak to be boastful, immediately stop talking. Check how our heart feels with each action that we do. It can distinguish between what is right and wrong. Sometime, the heart is blackened by the sins and thus unable to recognize anything no more. Ask Allah for a new heart when reciting Al-Qur'an do not tranquil it, or Solat cannot make it peaceful.

We can avoid showing off, but does it mean we have being sincere?
for sincere contain nothing else but for the sake of our Lord.
But we are humans, our action are enforced by the benefit that we recive.
That why, it is ok if we do good for

1. Love for Allah 
2. out of fear from the torment of Hell fire
3. The reward of paradise.

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ 
(Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny)

wallahu'alam, 

Marriage is ultimately a quest for peace and tranquility

By Imam Hamid Slimi
Finding someone for marriage is one of the most discussed topics among single people and specifically among our Muslim youth today since relationships between males and females in Islam are not considered right except through the ties of Nikah.
For those who have chosen to abide with the laws and principles of Islam and hold on to chastity and patience, marriage discussions are so fascinating, promising and one of the best outlets of relief. Young people who are struggling, dreaming or even fantasizing about a potential spouse (one they have in mind or hope to find) often do so because the romantic possibilities seem endless; they hope with abandon and trust in God to help them find that person.
“Falling in love”
Our eyes and minds are constantly bombarded with images and thoughts which bring new considerations and efface old ones. Today’s culture and environment have opened so many ways of communication between people that they have taken away the simplicity of life and the contentment which used to help us focus, set life priorities and most importantly understand that no one is perfect and therefore reasonable adjustments always need to be made. The more sophisticated we become the more we demand and expect from the others.
The universal expression of art, literature, movies and music has been very successful in convincing us that “happiness in marriage must start with a love story.” Thus, falling in love has become the “standard” for starting a married life. Consequently, the focus of many becomes the search for love, or the cliche – coup de foudre – when people, who by nature never like to fall, make the sole exception to willingly fall in the ocean of love.
Many want to experience what poets have been ruminating about, what stories and novels have been relating to us, what artists have been illustrating and playing to the world. “Falling in love” in the romantic language means experiencing perfection by tasting the ultimate sweetness that this earthly world can offer and achieving a sort of transcendence towards the ultimate uplifting physical and spiritual experience.
A quest for a perfect partner?
The question which comes to mind is: are those looking to get married on a quest for the perfect partner or on a search for a compatible partnership leading to happiness? We certainly cannot expect what we cannot give and since no one is perfect then why would someone expect perfection to be realized through a partnership made of imperfect beings?
Thinking that the other will be perfect and hence will make me happy and content is an illusion. In reality no one can make you happy and content except yourself and when you accept the fact that you cannot expect others to be perfect because you are not perfect either. In fact this quest for romantic perfection is entirely self-defeating. God Almighty says, “Lo! Allah does not change the condition of a folk until they (first) change by themselves that which is in their hearts;” (Chap. 13 V.11). Only once we let go of this romantic notion which is really a figment of our collective imaginations can we begin our quest towards happiness.
What is happiness?
The million dollar question: what is happiness? Happiness means amongst other things contentment, satisfaction, fulfilment, accomplishment and achievement which are almost linear in fashion. Therefore, if I achieve my goals then I should be happy. The Holy Qur’an states the goals of marriage in the following verse, “And among His signs is this: He created for you mates from yourselves that you might find rest and peace in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo! Herein indeed are portents for folk who reflect.” (Chap. 30 V. 31)
The goals here are rest, tranquility, peace of the mind and peace of the soul. This is why the sense of peace and harmony is a signal that creates that first acceptance of the other; the exchange of inexpressible signals that follow then grown from acceptance to become Mawaddah or spiritual love. Mawaddah has to be cultivated over time like a fruit-bearing tree; spiritual attachment is cemented by the spiritual enrichment and appreciation, which is unlike the physical desire driven by one’s biology that eventually decreases over time.
Components of a compatible personality

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught a message of equality, uniformity and human brotherhood & sisterhood.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught a message of equality, uniformity and human brotherhood & sisterhood.
Having said all of this, Islam does recognize the fact that there should be a reasonable level of compatibility between a man and a woman over different aspects of life, mainly personality and faith. The components of a compatible personality used to be and to some degree still are one’s education, manners, perceptions, social upbringing and physical appearance to a certain extent.
As for ethnicity, race, culture, and lineage – these have nothing to do with compatibility since they tend to counter the message of equality, uniformity and human brotherhood stressed by the Qur’an and the Prophet (PBUH) – in fact these elements have always been the causes of division, conflict and even war.
High expectations and low preparation – a formula for divorce
However, even this notion of marriage compatibility has evolved in our days beyond character, reasonable education, etiquette, abilities and reasonable material establishment. Due to today’s economic pressures, compatibility for a large number of those on marriage quest means the full package that is a ‘romantic experience with a wealthy partner’ -or at least a person with ‘stable’ income – and all the better if he or she looks like a prince or princess.
This has led to the unfortunate raising of standards to the degree which is far beyond acceptance and reasonable chemistry, hard work, a sense of responsibility and physical compatibility. The search for mutual compatibility – something that was relatively easy to find – has been replaced by high expectations and low preparation for marriage which according to recent statistics is one of the main causes of divorce today. The high divorce rate in both Muslim and non-Muslim communities have surpassed any historical records.
According to the Prophet (PBUH) marriage is something simple: “If someone with good character comes to you to propose for marriage and you feel pleased and satisfied with his religious beliefs and practices as well as his character (manners and personality), then you should marry him, otherwise there will be fitnah (tribulation and great evil) and big corruption on earth.” (Reported by Imam Tirmidhi and others) He also said, “Women are asked for marriage for four things: wealth, family status, beauty and the practice of faith. So you should marry the one with faith, otherwise you will lose more than you gain.” (Reported by Imam Bukhari and others).
Are we really following his advice or have we gone off the wrong track?
There are several considerations one must make when looking for a future spouse.
  • Look for a person from whom you get a feeling of peace, tranquility and a sense of security. This is what matters the most and the rest is icing on the cake.
  • For every man there is a right woman and for every woman there is a right man. You only need to look in the right place, the right way at the right time.
  • Seek the help of God by praying for your marriage. Even Prophet Musa (Moses) prayed for personal peace and security and God immediately answered him when he said, “My Lord! I am needy of whatever good You send down for me.” (Chap 28 V.24)
  • Seek help from those with experience and exposure. People will help you! Put your trust in Allah and in a few trusted people who care about you and would love to see you happy.
  • Attend various Islamic gatherings at Islamic centers or in mosques and engage in appropriate (professional) conversation with the members of the opposite sex without being isolated with them.
  • You can also correspond with potential mates through third-party Muslim marriage websites or advertising. Our methods of communication have changed and there is nothing wrong with that as long as the principle of professional conduct is maintained.
  • In the time of the Prophet (PBUH) the Sahabah (his companions) used to meet people sometimes in his presence and sometimes in other circumstances. For instance, on a number of occasions women used to come presenting themselves as candidates for marriage and accordingly, some men would accept their proposal of marriage. The Sahabah were very simple and undemanding about choosing their partners so long as they fulfilled basic religious and character requirements.
Too many conditions
Is your marriage checklist too long?
Is your marriage checklist too long?
In our society, generally speaking, we tend to put far too many conditions and requirements that are not essentials from an Islamic perspective in a marriage.
Islamically, the basic things we should consider are religion and character. All other requirements can be compromised on.
Young people have to stop chasing the notion of the perfect one and start looking for the peaceful one. Islam is based on peace and Allah Almighty constantly calls us to the house of peace. Marriage is about finding peace within oneself and with one’s spouse.
Ultimately, there is no one to blame for not finding a partner but oneself because as the Prophet (PBUH) said “Allah has taken it as a duty upon Himself to help the one who seeks Nikah.”

Expectation- relationship

Posted: by ZFCM in Labels: ,

expectation: the mind set of how things will be going even before they actually happen
capability or potential: i.e, leadership, intelligence and etc

Expectation is a very powerful that it can influence the perception regardless of the actual situation or condition.


For a person that have put a high expectation on someone, that at first sight is he is all perfect. When that particular person somehow manage to observe a flaw in that person that is lower than his expectation, his perception of that person will actually degraded. The higher the expectation that he set the lower he will degrade the person in his heart. It is not the actual potential of a person that will influence how we see a person is, but our first impression. No matter how high the potential or capabilities of a person, if our expectation is higher than his actual potential we can only see his potential is lower than he actually is.

No doubt, this situation often happen in our life. How many time have we being disheartened by what we got merely because we feel that we deserve better.

There is this person which I looked down, when I found out this person is actually better than what I think, now I have respected this person even more. There is also so many people that do not reach my expectation.

It is irony that, I myself decide what I want to see, what I want to feel.

For the people in searching for life partner
if you expect him or her to be too good,
When the reality not, 
you will only discontent at him or her.

The movies,novels, all depicting a love story that is too good to be true. Unfortunately this has penetrated our mind, and we have set it as a benchmark or a standard by which we measure our happiness. Irony, irony...

However, I do not recommend that we looked down on people. Because, once we have look down on them especially people that we rarely interact, it is hard to see what is good about them anymore. Since we only judge people by the look,- externally, and they have no chance to defend them self that they are better than what you think, you will never be able to see the real them.

A person, what is in them is so beautiful once we know them

So do the future. We need not to be a pessimist, once we do, we will be only trapped in dismay afraid to move forward.

So, what we need? we need to be realistic.wallahua'lam

                                                     
p/s: to all humanity that read this post
please be honest, and be yourself at all time
especially those, who are searching soul mate
the only result of hypocrisy in relationship is
the destruction of the relationship itself

sauntering in the vast world
searching for a answers

tis is just wat i believe, so its not like tis the truth but 4 me tis is how i understand the world:

come along with us into this world, personality that make who we are regardless it is bad or good. Most of it nurtured by environment or merely passed down by our parents and inscribled in the genes. Bad tempered, impatience, ill mannered, kind hearted, forgiver, polite, and many more. Or maybe some of us even have the tendency or urge to do something wicked like killing, shoplifting or indecent act. These whims that lead to shameful and sinful act, i believe is a trial. The greatest war is within the human to fight himself, a ceaseless battle. Being born evil doesnt mean we have to stay being evil.(every child is pure from any contaimination) We are free to choose our own path.

qur'an

ibnu mas'ud said that they used to learnt 10 verses of the qur'an and will never proceed until they learnt everthing from it. The qur'an deserve more to be read than recited, both have their own credits of giving guidance to human.i have read in a blog, an article posted there from i luv islam: al-qur'an as the benchmark.
The secondary needs of human nature is his self-esteem, he will struggle to fulfill his self-esteem. Thus, he will always has the desire to improve or I can also say perfection. As so, he must have a point of reference or destination that he is directed to. Most people taking famous person, celebrities or the riches to be their final destination. The weakness behind this is that they are humans and open to mistake. A blind people being guided by a blind people.
The limited ability of human senses has placed a huge wall that has also limits the knowledge. This is because the door to knowledge is the senses. As such, human can only make reasoning suitable to this limited knowledge. This is where the book of Allah helps, providing enough information for human to guide themselves. If a machine is created, for sure the engineer know every bits of his creation. He then, will provide manual so that the machine can function at it top performance at the hand of the customers. This is also in fact apply to us.

Diterimanya amal/ the conditions for the deeds to be accepted

Posted: Tuesday, October 5, 2010 by ZFCM in Labels:

two different version, from 2 different people, and two different languages.

dua rukun diterimanya amal (dari lembaran kitab pemberian ustaz Emraan- entah apa name kitab ni lupa lak nk tanya, penulis pun xtau)

1. keikhlasan dan lurusnya niat
2.selari dengan sunnah dan syariat

rukun pertama merupakan batin, rukun kedua pula zhohir.

keterangan rukun pertama:
rasulullah saw bersabda ; " sesungguhnnya amal2 itu (dinilai) dgn niatnya" (fat-ful bari:1/15, no.1). Hadith ini menyatakan niat sebagai kayu ukur batin.

rukun kedua, Rasulullah saw bersabda," barang siapa yg melakukan sesuatu amalan bukan atas perintahku. maka ia tertolak." (h,r Muslim 3/1343, no.1718).
Ini pula tolak ukur lahir.

وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى وَإِلَى اللَّهِ عَـقِبَةُ الاٌّمُورِ

Di dalam Al-qur'an "dan barangsiapa yg menyerahkn dirinya kpd Allah, sedang dia orng yg berbuat kebaikan, maka sesungguhnya ia telah berpegang pd buhul tali yg kukuh" (luqman:22)

keterangan ayat: yg dimaksudkn menyerah diri kepada Allah adalah mengikhlaskn niat dan amal semata2 kerana Allah.
sedangkn ihsan dalam amal ialah mengikuti sunnah rasulullah.

Extracted From Tafsir Ibnu Kathir
chapter: al-Baqarah: The Hopes of the People of the Book


وَقَالُواْ لَن يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مَن كَانَ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَـرَى تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ - بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

111. And they say, "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian.'' These are their own desires. Say (O Muhammad ), "Produce your Burhan if you are truthful.'') (112. Yes! But whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Allah made the confusion of the Jews and the Christians clear, since they claim that no one will enter Paradise, unless he is a Jew or a Christian. Similarly, Allah mentioned their claims in Surat Al-Ma'idah:

﴿نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ﴾

(We are the children of Allah and His loved ones) (5:18).

Allah refuted this false claim and informed them that they will be punished because of their sins. Previously we mentioned their claim that the Fire would not touch them for more than a few days, after which they would be put in Paradise. Allah rebuked this claim, and He said about this baseless claim, m

﴿تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ﴾

(These are their own desires). Abu Al-`Aliyah commented, "These are wishes that they wished Allah would answer, without basis.'' Similar was stated by Qatadah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas. Allah then said,

﴿قُلْ﴾

(Say) meaning, "Say O Muhammad:''

﴿هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ﴾

("Produce your Burhan...'') meaning, "Your proof'', as Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, As-Suddi and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas stated. Qatadah said that the Ayah means, "Bring the evidence that supports your statement,

﴿إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ﴾

(if you are truthful) in your claim. ''

Allah then said,

﴿بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ﴾

(Yes! But whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin) meaning, "Whoever performs deeds in sincerity, for Allah alone without partners.'' In a similar statement, Allah said,

﴿فَإنْ حَآجُّوكَ فَقُلْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِىَ للَّهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ﴾

(So if they dispute with you (Muhammad ) say: "I have submitted myself to Allah (in Islam), and (so have) those who follow me.'') (3:20)

Abu Al-`Aliyah and Ar-Rabi` said that,

﴿بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ﴾

(Yes! But whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah) means, "Whoever is sincere with Allah.''

Also, Sa`id bin Jubayr said that,

﴿بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ﴾

(Yes! But whoever submits) means, he is sincere,

﴿وَجْهَهُ﴾

(his face (himself)) meaning, in his religion.

﴿وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ﴾

(and he is a Muhsin) following the Messenger . For there are two conditions for deeds to be accepted; the deed must be performed for Allah's sake alone and conform to the Shari`ah. When the deed is sincere, but does not conform to the Shari`ah, then it will not be accepted. The Messenger of Allah said,

«مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَد»

(Whoever performs a deed that does not conform with our matter (religion), then it will be rejected.)

This Hadith was recorded by Muslim. Therefore, the good deeds of the priests and rabbis will not be accepted, even if they are sincerely for Allah alone, because these deeds do not conform with the method of the Messenger , who was sent for all mankind. Allah said regarding such cases,

﴿وَقَدِمْنَآ إِلَى مَا عَمِلُواْ مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَآءً مَّنثُوراً ﴾

(And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) did, and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust.) (25:23)

﴿وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَعْمَـلُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَآءً حَتَّى إِذَا جَآءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئاً﴾

(As for those who disbelieved, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing.) (24:39) and,

﴿وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـشِعَةٌ - عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ - تَصْلَى نَاراً حَامِيَةً - تُسْقَى مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ ﴾

(Some faces, that Day will be humiliated. Laboring, weary. They will enter in the hot blazing Fire. They will be given to drink from a boiling spring) (88:2-5).

When the deed conforms to the Shari`ah outwardly, but the person did not perform it sincerely for Allah alone, the deed will also be rejected, as in the case of the hypocrites and those who do their deeds to show off. Similarly, Allah said,

﴿إِنَّ الْمُنَـفِقِينَ يُخَـدِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُواْ إِلَى الصَّلَوةِ قَامُواْ كُسَالَى يُرَآءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً ﴾

(Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for As-Salah (the prayer), they stand with laziness to be seen by people, and they do not remember Allah but little.) (4:142) and,

﴿فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ - الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَـتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ - الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ - وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ ﴾

(So woe unto those performers of Salah (prayers) (hypocrites). Those who delay their Salah (from their stated fixed times). Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men). And withhold Al-Ma`un (small kindnesses)) (107:4-7).

This is why Allah said,

﴿فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلاً صَـلِحاً وَلاَ يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدَا﴾

(So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord) (18: 110).

He also said in this Ayah,

﴿بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ﴾

(Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (follows Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin).

Allah's statement,

﴿فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ﴾

(Shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve) guaranteed them the rewards and safety from what they fear and should avoid.

﴿فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ﴾

(There shall be no fear on them) in the future,

﴿وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ﴾

(nor shall they grieve) about what they abandoned in the past. Moreover, Sa`id bin Jubayr said,

﴿فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ﴾

"(There shall be no fear on them) in the Hereafter, and

﴿وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ﴾

(nor shall they grieve) about their imminent death.''





accept or fight

sometimes, i think too much until i cant even speak or write because each word must be flawless, not contradicting with my knowledge, and elaborated. Even when people talking i will feel unease when the wording clearly can give different meaning then they intend to, but at the same time i did understand the message. This is who i am. Its not somethng bad or good. Just like having a heart that inclines to kibr. When our heart is decreed to incline towards the feeling of self sufficient. It not necessarily somethng bad. Why? Because i see it as a trial. The heart is not easily controlled. Thats why, the decision and the action will determine wether its bad or good. If u try nothng and accept it, it will be bad.if you fight it insyallah, it will be good. We can categorize it as a kind of patience. Ibnu qayyim said that, patience in refraining one self from doing prohibited acts seated at a higher degree if compared to
Patience when calamity strikes.i.e death of family member.the reason behind this is that, in the second case a human have no choice but to stay patience so that he can move forward in this life.its largely for the sake of things that he can see that is life in this world and himself. As for the first case. A human stays being patience, even though it wouldnt effect his wordly affair. This indicate that he believes in the hereafter much more. Thus, the intention is majorly for the life that is unseen by the naked eye.other than that, this also mean he is open to choice to be patience or not. This is my very own explaination. Thus, we shouldnt feel sad for the whims that fleeting in our mind as long as we do nt materialize it into reality.
