Unlawful Gaze Saturday, November 14, 2009

“A man who gazes at a non-mahram woman is just like a pauper who stares through a shop window and desires items that he cannot afford. The pauper will get nothing by staring through the window. Likewise, a person involved in lustful glances gets nothing but frustration, for he is unable to acquire what he sees and desires.
So why stare at something that you cannot obtain?
Every time you look at a forbidden thing, your desire will grow, and its thought will haunt you even when it is out of sight. When this is the consequence of the unlawful gaze, is it not better to control the gaze at the very outset?”
Every Sin Carries the Effects of Disbelief Tuesday, November 10, 2009

“Our scholars and pious predecessors have noted that every disobedience of Allah ta’ala carries within itself the taint of kufr (disbelief) to some degree. This is why one who is constantly involved in sins is considered to be endangering his imān.
A flagrant sinner will be disinclined to repent, and may eventually land himself in destruction by beginning to question faith, and eventually denounce faith in Allah ta’ala altogether (may Allah ta’ala protect us).”
Major and Minor Sins Saturday, September 26, 2009

“Sins are classified by the ulama as being either major or minor. The reason for this classification is not so that we can abstain from major sins and commit minor ones.
This categorization is to determine the rulings applicable to each sin, otherwise it is just as important to abstain from minor sins as it is to abstain from major sins, and minor sins can be just as detrimental as major ones.
Explaining this, Hakeemul Ummah, Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanwi rahmatullahi alayh used to say that no one avoids a large scorpion and yet plays with a small one; both are considered to be dangerous.
The only difference between them is that the poison of the smaller scorpion may take longer to effect the body, though it will still be fatal. Likewise, the ultimate effect of minor and major sins will be the same.”

Staying out of the Danger Zone Tuesday, July 28, 2009

“A normal diastolic blood pressure reading is taken to be in the 80s. When the diastolic pressure reaches 100 then this is taken to be the danger zone. However as soon as a person’s diastolic readings reach the nineties, the physican will immediately take preventative action in order to keep the patient out of the danger zone and thereby out of harm’s way.
This should be our attitude towards our Deen. We should not only worry about making sure whether our actions are in the danger zone (i.e. sins). We should monitor how close we are coming to sin and how far we are wandering off from the Sirat-al-Mustaqim. If we find that we are slowly drifting towards danger we should take immediate action to rectify our situation.”

“Allah ta’ala does not judge a person’s status by the amount of worship he does, but by how much a person stays away from the disobedience of Allah.
It is a deceit from Shaytaan that he confines our attention to the multitude of worship we do and keeps us heedless and unaware of the sins that we are committing.”

Shaytaan that he makes us look at the multitude of worship we are doing while keeping us blind to the sins that we are committing.”
