Short
and Sweet
Ibrahim Bin Adham ( May Allah swt have mercy on
him) told these sicknesses of the spiritual heart
to a group of people who asked him why their
dua’s weren’t
getting answered.
1. You believe in the existance of Allah Ta'ala,
but you do not fulfil his commands.
2. You say you love the Holy Prophet Mohammed
(Sallallahu 'alahi wasallam), but you do not follow
his sunnah (ie, his example).
3. You Read The Qur'an but you do not put it into
practice.
4. You enjoy all the benefits from Allah Ta'ala,
but you are not grateful to him.
5. You acknowledge Shaytan as your enemy, but you
do not go against him.
6. You want to enter paradise, but you do not work
for it.
7. You do not want to be thrown into hell-fire, but
you do not try to get away (ie, do good
deeds).
8. You believe that every living-thing will face
death, but you do not prepare for it.
9. You gossip and find faults in others, but you
forgot your own faults and mistakes.
10. You bury the dead, but you do not take a lesson
from it. By Hazarth
