Indeed,
as the Quran would teach us, as the
sunnah of Rasool Allah SWAN would teach us,
as our sages of our predecessors,
our salafu 'ulama, the uliya 'ulama
have taught and experienced
that,
the main causes
of the stain of our hearts
and of the diseases of our hearts
and of the spiritual
deaths
of our hearts
are two reasons.
Alraflatu
briefly, we spoke about it,
to be in a state
of unawareness of Allah
to be in a state where we are
absent hearted,
absent spirited,
absentminded,
and absent spoken of dhikr of Allah, azza
wa jus. That's the absence of a dhikr
of all its forms. We did not speak
of the details of what dhikr is about.
That's
one of the major reasons
of the Kalb falling in disease. The other
reason is al Masiyyah.
Sin,
disobedience,
them
as are of the means as Allah in
the Quran,
as Rasoolullah's lesson in the sunnah
have
in their own lives
and consequently by the grace of Allah sometimes
observing it in the lives of others as
well.
The consequences of the noob, major the noob
and minor the noob.
Internal the noob inside of us, arrogance, ostentation,
delusion, and so on,
and external znub, the way we use our
limbs and our senses, our eyes, our ears,
our tongues, our abilities, our words, our hands,
our legs, our sexual drives, and so on,
all collectively
and individually.
Zanub. From shirk
to major Zanub to minor Zanub, and all
different kinds, internal and external.
What they do,
of the first worst thing they do is
to make our
disconnected from Allah
gradually
at different levels. As Allah says in the
Quran,
speaking to us about the consequences
of the noob of those who choose
to be distant from the divine.
And Allah says to us that of the
consequences
of what people have done
and they have earned through what they have
done that is of negative
deeds
and negative
feelings and so on, is that something on
this spiritual
latif
heart,
something called raan
covers the heart
and is laid over the heart.
Every time we committed them as Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam mentioned in authentic hadith,
every time we commit them
then a dark spot
that is absence of light
takes place on the heart in the spiritual
dimension of that heart that is.
And it keeps growing in the absence of
true
repentance
and true remorse
and true tawba and true istighfar,
it it keeps growing, and the more we
commit of that, the more that occurs.
And the qalb is stained, and stained means
we are very open and prone then now
to the attacks
of Shaipan,
to the attacks of the lower nafs as
well.
And that that as a consequence
will veil us
from this connection with the divine,
The beauty of the divine and the majesty
of the divine
and this uns that we should all seek
with the divine, this this internal
feeling of spiritual
serene
tranquility
and and strength and
inside of you, despite what what is going
outside of you day or night,
alone or with with others,
you feel this uns inside that will disappear
as a consequence
of adhanub and the veil in this dunya,
in this world, to be veiled from the
divine,
from a special relationship with the divine
of hublav,
from a special relationship with the divine of
Ma'rifah,
of knowing
the divine through his
deeper dimensions of his names and attributes, and
how they reflect in reality
and what they are in essential reality.
We're deprived of that.
We're deprived also ultimately
on the day of resurrection, on the day
of judgment,
from being in the company of the divine.
Those will never will never experience
being close to the divine in the spiritual
sense.
Even in the hereafter,
that
personal relationship
in ways that are beyond modality,
beyond kaif,
these relationships with the divine
they, those of us like that, with hearts
like that, will be deprived of that relationship.
And there are other consequences in our lives
of the nub.
Many times,
you know,
when we ourselves are subjected to
the
injuries of others and the and the hurts
of others and the abuse of others.
Could it be
because of our sins
we have hurt others? Because a sin is
in relationship to the divine directly and relationship
to the divine
via the creatures of the divine.
If I violate
the right of another creature, I say creature,
a human being
or a cat or a dog or a
bee or an ant or a plant,
if I violate
certain of their rights as granted to them
by the divine,
I have committed to them.
Them is not only and those are serious
in the room. It's not only not being
prayerful,
not to perform 5 daily salawat,
to speak ill,
not to perform
zakah, not to perform saum, not to perform
hajj.
These are alnuob indeed.
To perform
This adnub to deal in usury, these adnub.
But
also our internal arrogance, delusion, ostentation, and so
on and so forth, demeaning, deluding,
deceiving others, these are the rub. But also
to violate the right of another creature
to even to frown in the person
in the face of a person
because I don't like them.
To harbor inside of me ill feelings
about another creature, another person, And I harbor
that and I entertain that. That's a them.
That's a sin. That's an act of disobedience.
And more
and more to abuse somebody verbally,
to take somebody from somebody with something from
somebody without their consent,
to hurt them
in ways I'm not allowed to do.
These are vinub,
and those have consequences. Sometimes
what happens to me, maybe
because of something I have done to others.
Because of them,
once we commit it, it's energy
that is released in space time.
And energy released in space time now travels
and has ripples.
And those ripples travel
like a ripple when it falls
on a still pond or still lake,
a beautiful lake of water like the one
we have here,
and then when it falls, it creates ripples.
Those ripples will travel,
and sometimes they hit a rock
and a rock will respond back. Reaction.
Equal and opposite
to the energy and the force of that
ripple.
My them that I would have committed against
the person in this case, for example,
symbolically
in in the sort of an essential reality
is like those ripples.
They are they're released.
And sometimes
another creation of Allah
another creation
receives that ripples within its subconscious if you
will and responds
and the subconscious orders it somehow to
respond in ways that are external.
So somebody frowns at me.
That's perhaps just
the reaction to my original ripple
that reached
this person or that person or this dog
or that animal.
The noob
have consequences
in this world
and in the hereafter,
and there is a lot more. Sometimes the
nub
are sometimes the reasons behind
the way we shield inside
in
such constrictive
ways and anxious ways.
