Take 5!
Tired of reading my notes, I found this during my 5 minutes break.
Let’s see what it is…
Taken from Al-Fawaid work of Imam Ibn Qayyim, rendered into English by Bayan Translation Services.
A Precious Gem: Sources of Unlawfulness
No one can indulge in unlawfulness except for two reasons, the first of which is failing to trust in Allah, despite the fact that if one obeys Him, he will surely be granted the best of lawful gains. The second reason is knowing that whoever abandons anything for the sake of Allah, surely He will grant him something better that what he has abandoned. Unfortunately, his vain desires surpass his patience and his inclination overpowers his mind. The first one has poor knowledge, and the second one had poor sight.
*Yahya bin Mu’adh said, “He whom Allah opens his heart with invocation, surely Allah will respond to him.” I added, “but he whom Allah opens his heart, and feel in need of Allah, and his hope is strong, then Allah will respond to him.”
