LOVE FOR ALLAH

*Freedom from the Worship of Desires

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

The reason being very simple.
In the first sickness, a person is following his desires. He knows what he is doing is Haraam. He knows it is wrong. His conscious bothers him and he feels guilty which can eventually spur him into doing Taubah.  He can do Taubah and become a Wali of Allah.

A person committing the sin of Zina is making Amal on the desire of Zina. When he makes Taubah from Zina, cries a few tears and stops Zina, he becomes a Wali of Allah.

However, in E’jaabul mar’i binafsihi
A person thinks he is good. Therefore, he is not going to make Taubah because this quality stops him from making Taubah. This third sickness is going to stop you from making Taubah from the first two sicknesses and getting close to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.

Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is terming these spiritual sicknesses as the destroyers. They will destroy your life. All of us have Yaqeen, Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam’s words cannot be wrong.  
Whenever I make Bayaan of this Hadith, I give a simple example to understand the seriousness of these spiritual sicknesses. 

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala save all of us.
A person is sleeping in his house. He gets up in the middle of the night to realize there is a fire burning outside his house. The fire has completely surrounded his house. Every opening is blocked with the fire. Now the door and windows are burning. He looks around and understands, very soon, the door and windows are going to burn down and the fire is going to enter the house. Once the fire enters the house, he will have no way out.
When he understands and the reality sets in, is he going to cover himself with the blanket and go back to sleep?
The person is going to become Pareshaan, hysteric, lose his mind, scream, shout and run all over the house. Although he knows there is no way out, he will be running about trying to find a way out; maybe somewhere he can find a way to escape.
The man understands, once the fire enters the house, that will be the end of him, he will be burnt to death. 

Let us imagine ourselves being in such a situation, what agony we will go through. The fear and hysteria in the heart will kill us before the fire does. A person is going to run around frantically and not in his senses because there is a destroyer surrounding the house which is going to enter soon. What is the most that can happen to this person? He will die and his Dunyawi life will end.
If anything according to the Ahadith, this person can die a Shaheed. His Darja is going to be raised because of being burnt to death by the fire.

When the fire is raging all around him, he is going to go into Pareshani at one o’clock at night. He is not going to sit and eat Biryani and Kabaab as his last meal. This Aalam is a different Aalam and not one of;
ایک اور کباب ہو جائے
Ek aur kabaab hojay
