The Disease and the Cure by Ibn Qayyim / الداء والدواء لإبن قيم

Absolutely. Definitely start with getting a translation of your Quran in your language. If you want an English one I recommend “The Clear Quran” or The Quran translation by M.A.S Abdul Haleem. After this I highly recommend a book of hadeeth and that would be Riyad-us-Saliheen by Imam An-Nawawi. All hadeeth in it are carefully picked hadeeth to help you in every aspect of your life. Start with those.

@@YoussefWaly11 Thank you!

I recommend asking someone more knowledgeable, but to give you my answer... Allah is able to achieve the same outcome in infinitely many ways; for instance, Allah technically could've made Jesus the final messenger, but he didn't, or Allah could've made us all like the angels with no free will of moral choice. However, Allah does what He wants, and in the Quran it states exactly that, that Allah does what He wants. Also when Allah says that he has chosen prophets He uses the word "istafa" in the Quran, and in Arabic refers to a type of choice where He does not owe you an explanation. The same way we make some decisions in life and someone questions us... "why this why not that" and we reply with "that's just how i like it." The best thing in the end is that Allah has treated all of us fairly, more than we deserve, and has created this system where He doesn't give everyone "A+" in their exam when some people have worked much harder than others. That is my insight.

I think you are confused. The mercy of Allah is never-ending because Allah doesn’t end. But know that mercy on creation is based on Willingness. Meaning, he can choose to or choose not to have mercy. But the attribute of mercy remains, because it is to essence of Allah and Allah does not end And best to cease going further, we aren’t created for that. We worship him and worry about our world and hereafter.

Ameen! I’m glad it helped.

I have taken that statement from lectures by Sheikhs like Sheikh Belal Asaad. That is not what is meant by it, what it means is that for the Shaitan to affect your actions it also involves you making a choice to make that sin or do actions which lead up to that sin, so in that sense you have dropped to a level of the shaitan where he can affect you.

@@YoussefWaly11 I understand better now, yes to level where he is affecting you, but definitely not his level meaning as is in like him or equally as low and degraded as shaytan

Just sharing what I learn from books and lectures 😅 We’re all capable of this inshallah. Appreciate it 🤝

@@YoussefWaly11 I am a copywriter. Trust me, even if you are just expressing your thoughts after reading books, it takes a certain amount of skills. Speaking with clarity is no joke. Mashallah, you have that skill.

I just realized 😂😂😂 I don’t know why it’s like that. I’ll try to fix it

Jazakallah for the question. This is a topic I've been searching about A LOT, and I have a whole new video which will come dedicated to leaving and sacrificing things for the sake of Allah inshallah (primarily addiction). Inshallah it will help (and yes Shaitan has a role in that definitely).

In order to identify whether whispers are coming from your nafs or from shaytan. Think of the problems you face very deeply and how you got into it then read the text down below there is your answer. Whenever you get these thoughts remind yourself to ask which one of them is it? This separates you from it consciously you are not some idiot that take action you become a third person viewing it from a distance. Whatever sin you do if you were never interested in it but you find yourself doing it; it is because shaytan worked hard to get you there you listened to his whispers. If you spend a lot of time in this sin and you like it is your soul whispering to you now. If you don't block shaytan he gets to your mind first if you listen to him and then your heart. He has no access to the heart only the mind to whoever will listen to him and lets him talk. If Allah gave him access to the heart he would be commanding people. If there is a sin that shaytan never got you interested in and you find yourself doing it; it is because your soul wants this shaytan just encourages it. Example lusting after the opposite gender in a non halal relations your soul already wants this you are attracted to the opposite gender now you gotta fight two whispers. Read ayatul kursi, surah ikhlas, Surah nas and then read the dua below call on to Allah. Why even give him a chance to even talk to you read this make it a habit as if you just woke up and ready to brush its not even a thought its a habit. Dua below is very important say it everyday to be protected. Ya arhama rahimin; birah matika astaghith aslih lii sha'ni kulah; wala takilni ila nafsi darfata ayn. Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Fatimah, “I instruct you to say in the morning and evening: O Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek deliverance. Take care of all my affairs and do not leave me to the care of myself even for the blink of an eye.”

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

The answer is Quran and Sunnah.

Look at what pertains to your problem there.

Same here. . .

Interesting. Will check it out

It's extremely sad, but as you said may Allah guide them... appreciate the comment.
