Assalamu Aleikum Wa alaykum wa Salam wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
My name is Norman Ahmed. And I'm from Kolkata and I'm a student.
How can we control our own knifes, as it is the most dangerous enemy
to us after the shaytaan? Another similar question assalamu Alikum
walaikum salam medulla here barakato My name is Muhammad Ali
and I live in Lahore Pakistan. My question is, how can I control my
enough's controlling our knifes controlling our desires? It is
very important. And one category of jihad is jihad bin knifes
striving and struggling against one's own evil inclination. Jihad
basically means to strive to struggle, and striving against
one's own inclination is also one type of jihad. So we should see
that we control our desires, and the believers those who control
their desires, they will be rewarded with Paradise. Allah
subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran certain Nicaea
chapter 79 What am ma'am and half Mr. camara b He asked for the one
who fears his Lord when I had enough sanded how and prevents
himself from the desires for Indian children to heal. Then Jana
it will be his aboard Allah subhanaw taala is talking about
the reward for the believers, those who can turn their desires,
their whims and fancies and those who sacrifice for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala their abode it will be Channa. protecting and
safeguarding ourself and not falling for the temptations of the
shaitan is very important. And shaytan he challenged Allah
subhanaw taala after he disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala that I will
miss guide the Children of Adam, but those who are the true
servants and the true believers, those who fear Allah subhanaw
taala Satan will not be able to misguide them.
Now, what are the ways in which we can see if God are knifes or not
follow our desires, especially the evil temptations from the Shaitan
whenever we get any evil thought, or any evil temptation from the
shape and the first thing that we should do is recite our bIllahi
min ash shaytani R G, I seek refuge in Allah from Satan
accursed. This is very important. And besides the other two others
well that we can recite, for example yatta yatta you'll be like
Mateus the wreath that I need your mercy fala tacony la sitter for
the high end, then do not leave me by myself even if before the blink
of an eye. So remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala doing dua to
Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect us from the temptations of the
shaitan is very important. turning to Allah subhanaw taala is very
important and it's very crucial from among the other steps that we
can take in order to protect our knifes from the evil temptations.
From the temptation of the shaitan is to be punctual as far as the
five daily prayer are concerned. The five obligatory Salah Allah
subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran in Switzerland Kabu
chapter 29 was Psalm 45 or tomorrow oh hey, let me tell Kitab
recite from the book what is revealed to the world in the Salah
and established prayer in masala to the manufacturer or Monica for
prayer restraints from shameful and immoral deeds. So if we offer
the five daily prayer with Hulu and Hulu and with concentration,
that inshallah it will prevent us from shameful and immoral deeds
and we will inshallah have control over our knifes Besides this we
should offer the Tahajjud prayer as well which is very important
and offer the Sunnah prayer as well. And we should also recite
the Glorious Quran on a regular basis with understanding if you
know Arabic it is the best if not, then you should read the
translation of the Glorious Quran contemplate upon the meaning of
the Glorious Quran. From among the other steps that we can take is be
in the company of good and righteous people. Company plays a
very important role in the life of a human being. If you and the
company of good and righteous people, inshallah will be good and
righteous human beings. If you are in the company of bad people, it
will have an influence and impact on us. A good friend will correct
his brother when he does something that is wrong. Because he cares
for his brother. He does not want his brother to enter the hellfire.
So being in the company of good and righteous people, it is very
important. Also the environment that we stay in. It should be an
Islamic environment. We should see to it that we try our level best
to stain Islamic environment. And unfortunately we see many non
Muslims they travel to Western countries to study or for green
pastures or for better living, whether it be to UK, USA, the
European countries, they should totally be avoided. There is so
much fitna and so many wrong things that are easily available
in these western countries. Yet Unfortunately, many Muslims they
travel to
These Western countries. So that's the reason we should see to it
that we stay away from fitna and unfortunately certain Muslims,
they are confident they're all confident and they think that
their Eman is very strong. They have control over their nerves and
they travel to these countries not realizing that they're going to a
place where there's fitna first they go to a place where there's
fitna and then they complain and then they say that they cannot
have control over their knifes, we see many Muslims have gone to
these non Muslim countries to these distant countries. They have
gone far away from the deen many of the sisters who have gone
there, they have compromised on the hijab, many of the people who
go there, the brothers, they want to change their gender, many
people have gone to the extent many Muslim they have gone to the
extent that after going to these Western countries, they have left
Islam and they have become atheist. So the risk is very high.
So why would a Muslim want to take such a risk? So the environment
that we stay in also plays a very important role as far as
controlling our desires. As far as controlling and knifes. As far as
staying away from the temptations of the shaitan is concerned. We
pray to Allah subhanaw taala that may always keep us on the
throttle, Mr. Team on the straight path. And may we always be in the
company of good and righteous people, those believers who always
show us the right way. And if we do something that is wrong, these
are the believers who will tell us what we have done is wrong, and
they will correct us. These are the two friends these are the true
believers that we should stay in the company of rather than those
friends who take us away from the remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala those people who vile and waste time so I hope that answers
your question.
