Enemy Within You

 *Enemy Within You*

------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

“The World is three days: As for yesterday, it has vanished, along with all that was in it. As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, so work in it.” 📚 (Hassan al-Basri)

My people!

The greatest enemy within you is your *"Sins"* - (major & minor) because sins damages the power house of our body - which is our 💜 heart.

*Dangers of Sins Committed:* 

Acts of disobedience weakens the heart and the body.. Its weakening the heart is something which is clear. Disobedience does not stop weakening it until the life of the heart ceases completely.

For instance,

If you have started any act of worship and along the line or after sometimes, you see yourself finding it difficult to continue, then, check yourself. Yes. It's possible that there's a sin you are commiting which is working to damage the most expensive flesh in your body.

Oh you who believe!

The progression that sinning takes in a person’s life is similar to that of a thief or a kidnapper.. Yes.. First, the thief may start with something small in school, in the neighborhood, or even at home. If they are not corrected or punished, they gradually get bolder and rob people, shops, banks, etc.

With sins, a person may feel remorseful the first time they commit it (eg - backbitting, gossiping, telling lies, zina etc).. They may repent but find themselves going back to the sin. And they will continue to go back to the sin till they no longer feel any remorse.

Then they move to that frame of mind where they justify their sin without seeing the need for repentance. Because the more you commit a sin, the less you feel bad doing it.

*Reflect on this:*👇🏻 

"Wise is the one who continually assesses himself and performs good deeds for the life after death. Foolish is the one who follows his desires and entertains very high hopes from Allah". 📚 (Timidhi).

Muslim Faithful!

If you still find it difficult to sacrifice 10-15minutes (minimum) for establishing 2rakaats nawafil *every night* while others are sleeping, then, there's need to check yourself. Yes. There are some sins you may be committing that hinders you from joining the league of praiseworthy servants of Allah.

The Truth Is,

It is a great privilege & honor to be opportuned to be waking up every night for worshipping Allah (swt). Yes. This is an opportunity that is "Not Giving" to everyone. 

Ibn Mas`ud (RA) was asked by someone: 👉🏻 *'‘I cannot pray at night".* .. He replied the man:- *‘'Your sins have prevented you.’'*

Therefore,

If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil *(Tahajjud)* everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so immediately. Yes. It's not difficult bcos people are doing it everyday without missing.. It's all about priority!

Let assume you wake up by 2AM, use 3minutes to perform ablution, 2minutes to get dressed, 5minutes to establish ONLY 2rakaat nawafil, 5minutes to make Du'a to Allah.. Total time spent = 15minutes. *Everything In 15minutes,* then, go back to catch up with sleep.

Allah (swt) Alone Knows Best

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك
