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,
