Ten Sicknesses of the Heart
Salam,
This is one of the realest things I’ve heard in my life, insh’allah we can all learn from this.
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. In other words, if you want your dua’s to get answered, reflect on the conditions below.
1. You believe in the existence of Allah (SWT) but you do not fulfill His Commands.
2. You say you love the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but you do not follow his Sunnah.
3. You read the Holy Qur’an but you do not put it into practice.
4. You enjoy all the benefits from Allah (SWT) but you are not grateful to him.
5. You acknowledge Shaytan as your enemy but you do exactly what he tells you.
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 run away from it.
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 forget your own faults and habits.
10. You bury the Dead but you do not take a lesson from it.
