Abu Bakr Zoud – The Two Destroyers Of Eeman Faith

Brothers and sisters in Islam,

there are 2 main things

that destroy and ruin Al Iman faith inside

our hearts,

Something known as Shubuhat

and the other known as Shahuwat.

Faith based

doubts, that's the first 1.

And evil temptation and desire is the second

1.

These damage and destroy Al Iman.

Faith based doubts such as a person doubting

the existence of Allah, the mercy of Allah,

the presence of Allah,

the ability of Allah, doubting the angels, the,

the Shay'atil,

doubting the hellfire, the paradise, and so on.

These type of doubts,

the way we cure them is with knowledge,

beneficial knowledge.

Beneficial knowledge cures and protects a person

from falling into faith based doubts,

And the knowledge we are talking about is

beneficial knowledge from the Quran or Sunnah.

And that is the miraculous aspect of the

Quran.

The miraculous aspect of the Qur'an

is that the 1 who reads the Qur'an,

seeking knowledge from the Qur'an with an open,

sincere, honest heart,

Allah

will

grant him certainty,

will grant him certainty in his heart, and

will get rid of the doubt that is

in his heart. That's the power of the

Quran. This is the word of Allah

It has the ability

to take you from doubt

to certainty

And the other type that destroys

Al Iman

is shahawat

shahawat

evil temptations and desires

such

as Azina, haram, relationships,

alcohol,

arribah,

gambling, and all the haram that we know

about.

And the way to protect yourself and to

protect your eman

from

evil temptations and desires

is by righteous

actions,

righteous deeds,

such as a salat

and zakat

and fasting and the many good deeds that

we know. When you occupy yourself with righteous

deeds,

this protects you from evil deeds.

And if you don't have

any

righteous deeds in your life, or your righteous

deeds are very small and limited,

what happens?

A lot of your time,

is empty.

So a Shaytan will take advantage of this

empty time and fill it up for you

with evil

deeds

and evil temptations and desires.

So brothers and sisters in Islam, you protect

yourself from desires

by engaging in many righteous deeds.

Read Al Quran,

memorize Quran,

pray

in times where it is permissible to pray,

fast,

give us sadaqa

and continue to do so to protect yourself

from falling into evil temptations

and desires.

And Allah

He said in the Qur'an,

Allah

said that He sent the messenger

with 2 things, He sent him with guidance

wadeenilhaqq,

and the religion of truth.

The scholars of Rahimahumullah,

they said Bilhuda,

guidance is beneficial knowledge.

And Deen al Haqq, the true religion

is righteous actions.

This is what the Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam

taught us. So maintain a relationship

with knowledge

and righteous actions.

You will save yourself

from falling into faith based doubts and from

being a victim and falling

into evil temptations and desires,

and as a result, you would have protected,

maintained,

preserved your iman,

you die upon iman, and you're resurrected on

the day of judgement upon iman.

Earning Allah's acceptance and His pleasure. We ask

Allah

to forgive us all, We ask him

to enable us to continuously

repent

from our evil deeds and our evil actions

For indeed,

repenting and seeking Allah's

forgiveness

is 1 of the greatest righteous deeds you

should do if you fell into

a sin or an evil temptation and desire.

I ask Allah Azojl to accept from us

allahu alam,
