Akhlaaq-Tasawwuf

TRUE COMFORT

The heart of a mother

A mother's heart is like the sea which does not get dirty with impurity. On the contrary, it purifies everything that comes in it. A child may have acted badly with his mother but at all times, the heart of the mother is somewhat vast like the sea in order to forget everything that her child has done to her and she is ready to welcome him with open arms as if nothing has happened.

FAILURE

You are giving your time, energy, wealth and the spring of your youth for a corpse. Yes, for a corpse that is powerless - who does not know his fate and who will immigrate tomorrow or the day after in the great family of the earth under the ground. 

Ujub or vanity

A question?

I know this one and that one. And I know myself. When it comes to speaking about positive things, I tend to speak regarding my positive side only, and yet, I know my shortcomings very well also. And when I have to speak regarding my friends, my gaze is on their negative sides, and yet, I also know their good qualities. And I am sure that I know my shortcomings better than the shortcomings of my friend.

Supremacy

The supremacy of human lies in his humility just as his lowliness lies in his pride. A person, who is wise and intelligent, cannot be proud. In general, it is the foolish ones, who have arrogance and pride. Humility, that gives man his true dimension, is a humility that he shows for the pleasure of his Creator.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: 

Izzah

Izzah or honour is a creation of Allah Ta’ala that He created just as He created everything. It is in the hand of Allah Ta’ala. It is He who gives Izzah to whoever He wishes.

"... You grant honour to whoever You please and disgrace to whoever You please ..." (S3: V 26)

Real Izzah

The Honourable

By staying in the company of those who are honourable, you will also become honourable. On the other hand, being in the company of those who are undesirable cannot prevent an honourable person also from becoming undesirable. It all depends on the milieu that you are in!

" ... (The pious people) are a group that, those who adopt their companionship do not remain unfortunate." (Bukhari)

The biggest fool

A person who has intelligence can never be one who is proud or boastful. Only a foolish person will have pride. As for an intelligent person, he is always humble and modest as he knows his reality very well and the reality that surrounds him. So, the more he becomes intelligent, the more humble he becomes. And the more he is stupid, the more boastful he is.
