Akhlaaq-Tasawwuf

Tahaarah Baatinah

Tahaarah Baatinah refers to cleanliness of the heart and Ruh.

Allah Ta'ala created man clean and pure. But being influenced by tendencies that prevail in the environment where he stays, man ends up replacing this cleanliness and purity and he dirties his interior with impurities such as Kufr, Shirk (polytheism), Nifaaq (hypocrisy), lies, dishonesty, jealousy, malice, pride, selfishness, egoism etc.

Success

Nobody likes to fail in life. Success is something that everyone appreciates. And a person likes to succeed in a field that he judges good for his future. But the intelligence of people is limited. They may choose something that they might later on discover is not good. Thus often, people make mistakes in making a choice.

A tenant

One is a tenant. Indeed one is a tenant even if people knows one as an owner. One can possess a lot of things. One can have big businesses and several pieces of land. One says that one got it through one's sweat. Although these are the favours that one received from one's Creator. One was a tenant, one is a tenant and one will remain a tenant because it is Allah Ta'ala alone who is the real owner.

الحمد الله

Hamd is an appreciation that someone deserves for certain merit. But it must be a merit that he has acquired on his own. He must not be dependent on anyone to acquire it. There is no one who has such a merit. Allah Ta'ala has created such a system whereby each creature, depends directly or indirectly, on the other to survive. And everything depends on Allah Ta'ala. There is no doubt that when a person has acquired a merit, he could not have acquired it on his own without depending on someone. Thus, nobody deserves Hamd.

No problem!

There is no problem in Dunya! If there are problems, there are also solutions. But if, despite having the solution, one is still in a problem, it is because of the thief who is hiding deep-down inside one. This is the main cause of all one's problems which is rendering one unfortunate.

MKJJ

Maal (wealth), Kamaal (mastery), Jamaal (beauty) and Jalaal (greatness) are things that a person seeks in the Dunya. He exhausts his life in pursuit of these very things. However, he in fact cannot depend on any of these things. This is what is called Dunya and this Dunya is temporary. Thus, everything that it contains is also temporary. There is nothing that will remain for a person eternally.

Learn good manners

Everyone has a character which he has acquired from others. That character can be good just as it can be bad.

Good people always have good manners. And the one who is bad will always have manners like his person/ality. Thus, one should associate with good people to acquire good manners. That is why Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that a person tends to follow the character of his close friend. Thus, a person must see well who he is befriending.
