Every. Single. Time. I listen to one of these videos it be speaking to the hurdle I’m in. And AlHamduLillah these reminders make it something I can overcome a lot easier! Inshallah my family and I can come visit Texas just for this!!! May Allah continue to bless you and your family. Ameen.
THis is my note from this class: One of the things that gets messed up the most during the time of Fitnah, when there’s a lot going on, is our Ibadah, our worship. At the time when we need to focus more on our worship, our circumstances become such that it pulls our attention. This class focuses on 2 sicknesses of the heart that completely destroy the relationship with Allah as they creep in. Jealously and Hasty. Do not desire what Allah has blessed some people over other people. Allah is always testing us through other people. If you see someone who is more blessed in his Deen, who is a good company to those around him, who is pious, and who has a good heart, there should be a desire in your heart to be more like that person. A sick heart would be jealous of that person but a healthy heart would desire to be like that person and will pray for that person. If you see people going through hardship, show gratitude for what you have and do everything that you can to remove that hardship. Show deep gratitude. Don’t feel guilty for what Allah has blessed you with when you see hardship but have deep appreciation. Jealousy is the enemy of blessings. Jealousy is the enemy of the fact that Allah has blessed someone. Jealous is you disliking a blessing that is given to a person and you want that to taken away, or to be removed. Jealousy is a sickness that destroys everyone. Jealousy will consume one’s good deeds like fire consumes wood. Jealousy will cause you to disobey Allah and bring evil out of you. 3 things that a jealous person does: 1. When they are around you they flatter you, 2. When you are gone they backbite you, 3. When you are going through hardship they are happy as they can be. This concept might be a little controversial and some might not like it but I found this that it makes sense- Family members visit each other but don’t live next door. Cause the moment you live next door the jealousy creeps up. Jealousy blinds your heart. It doesn’t see the truth as truth. Jealousy only creeps up when people are close to each other commonly and those who are related to each other in the same area, or family. Cures for Jealousy: 1. Realize that right now at the moment of jealousy, you are no different than the most wretched human of that person, because you want that person to lose their blessings.” 2. Realize that not only does your jealousy not take away their blessings, but what it takes away is your own biggest blessing which is peace of heart and contentment. This Deen is all about Nasiha, wishing well. Always have good expectations of Allah, especially when you are in hardship. Having good expectations from Allah, having Nasiha for the book of Allah, using it, reading it, having Nasiha for the Prophet (SAW), having Nasiha for the leaders of Muslims, and having goodwill towards everyone you meet. Hastiness quality will make you miss your objectives in life. When you are rushing you rush past and miss what Allah wants you to witness at that moment, and it will destroy your relationship with Allah. The person who is hasty, he is trying to bring things before the time that they’re supposed to come. Being hasty can cause you to fall into sin. Do not let what seems like a delay in Rizq force you to seek it from the haram place. 4 things that can happen when you have a hasty nature and you don’t fight this out of your heart: 1. You will stop moving altogether because you’ll think you are not where you were supposed to be. 2. You have a desire for something that you want and when you don’t get it, you become lazy and bored, and you stop making dua for it. 3. When someone oppresses you and you hastily curse him or make dua that he gets something bad which shows you that your heart is being corrected. 4. All Ibadah is focused on being scrupulous and careful about what you do, hastiness deviates you from the main focus point. When you make dua, dua forces you to become present in front of Allah. When you get what you want, you leave. Standing at the door is better than getting what you want and leaving when you realize whose door you are at. The objective of the dua is not always what you ask for but the connection with the one you’re asking.
