Keeping Two Hands and Two Feet

DDHK.ORG - You should keep your hands from hitting a Muslim and from reaching anything that is haraam or hurting Allah's creatures. You also protect your hands from betraying people's trusts or deposits.

Also keep your hands from writing something that shouldn't be spoken, because writing is one of your two tongues. You should keep your pen from writing something that is forbidden to convey it.

You should also take care of your two feet from walking to the forbidden place or walking to the wrongful sultan. Walking towards the wrongdoing sultan without any emergency or coercion is a great immorality. Because, that is considered "tawadhu" or humbling oneself to them and respecting their tyranny. Meanwhile, Allah tells us to turn away from wrongdoers, as He says:

What more if your journey meets the wrongdoing sultan to ask him something. So this is clearly considered to be haram.

Rasulullah SAW once said:

Look at it, the result of tawadhu 'or humbling oneself to the rich who is pious because of wealth. So how much do you tawadhu 'to the unjust rich man?

In short, all your movements with your limbs are a blessing from Allah (SWT) that He has given you. So you should not move any of your limbs to commit any disobedience. On the contrary, you use every member of your body to work out obedience to Allah.

Just know! If you are negligent then the consequences will return to you. Conversely, if you are diligent, the benefits will also Return to you.

Allah is the richest of you and the richest of your deeds. But everyone will depend (on the Day of Resurrection) with the deeds he did in this world. So don't you ever say: "Allah is the Most Glorious God, Forgiving. He forgives the sins of the servant who has committed immorality ”, because such speech is the right speech, but has the wrong purpose.

People who say it are called "Ahmaq" (stupid), as the name said by the Prophet Muhammad in his words:

Know that anyone who wants to be an allim but he does not try to seek knowledge and only says: "Allah is a God who is most glorious, most merciful. He has the power to impart knowledge into the hearts of the Anbia and Aulia without bothering to repeat studies and take notes, "so a person who says this is the same as someone who wants to get wealth then he leaves the business.

He doesn't want to plant or trade. In fact, he just sat in a state of unemployment, saying: "Allah is the most glorious God, the Most Merciful and for Him all treasures that are in the sky and that are on earth and He is powerful to show me something from the treasury of treasures so that I do not need to try like what was given to Some of His servants ".

So when you hear the words of these two people, of course you will think that the person who said it is a fool and of course you will make fun of him. However, what they attribute to the mercy and power of God Almighty is something true.

So that is the case with those who are wise in religion. They will laugh at you if they see you asking forgiveness of sins from Allah Ta'ala without any effort to achieve it (without repenting).

Has not Allah said in the Qur'an:

And in His man again:

Allah also said:

If you do not abandon your search for knowledge and wealth because you rely on the mercy of Allah Ta'ala, then the same is the case, you do not leave doing provisions in the hereafter because you rely on the mercy of Allah. Don't be lazy to do worship because the Lord of the world and the God of the hereafter are only one.

God is most gracious and merciful, both in this world and in the hereafter. His generosity does not increase with your obedience.

Mercifully, He makes easy for you the way which can convey you to an everlasting land filled with all pleasures and bliss. Provided, you are able to patiently endure your lust for a very few days. Then this is the essence of His mercy.

Do not whisper to yourself with empty daydreams and dreams. You should imitate the sincerity of those who have the intelligence of the Anbia and are salihin. Do not expect to reap fruit that you did not plant.

Hopefully Allah will give the outpouring of His mercy and forgiveness to those who are diligent in fasting, praying, jihad, and being pious.

In short: keep your zakir limbs from immorality. And know that the deeds of your zahir limbs only arise from directions that come from within your heart

If you intend to take care of all your zahir limbs, then start by cleansing your heart. This is what is called "inner piety" and the heart that is in your chest is called "mudghah" (a handful of flesh) which if it is good then all your limbs will be good, and if it is damaged, all your limbs will be damaged.

The cleanliness of the heart can only be achieved through Al-Muqarabah. Namely, to present the heart with God and feel His presence every moment.
