Akhlaaq-Tasawwuf

An arrow can hunt a deer, just as it can kill a Khinzeer (pig). Everyone knows the difference between the two. In the same way, the tongue which is found between the two jaws can make one enter Jannah or throw one into hell. It depends on how it is used. Similarly each Tasbeeh that we recite, represents a tree in Jannah. This gives us an idea of ​​the number of trees that we are losing in Jannah due to futile and useless practices and activities. There will be loss in the Aakhirah if we do not make proper use of ourselves.

Many of us are unaware or don't want to understand that true dignity is that dignity which has been granted to us by Allah Ta’ala. When Allah Ta’ala dishonours a person, no one can give him honour.

Many of us are also unaware that our dignity lies in preserving the dignity and the honour of the next person. Dishonouring the next person is like cutting the branch on which we are both sitting. This behaviour is a means to dishonour us later on.

The root of all sins is the hardness of the heart. When the heart becomes hard, then the person becomes carefree and does not think of Allah Ta’ala. This gives rise to undesirable character in the heart which, from time to time, attracts the person to bestiality. 

Before doing something, one should first see whether it is permissible according to the Shari’ah. If it is permissible, the degree of its importance should be evaluated. When one is satisfied that it is something which should be done and it is not at the expense of another task which holds more importance, then one may proceed with it. Now, one should see when, how and where to do it.
