The month of piety and fasting begins, and the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, the devils and the rebellious jinn are chained up, and the good herald calls out: “I will come.”
A large part of the whispering of sin will be cut off, the soul will flourish in the garden of goodness, and faith will revive in all parts of the heart.
Then this season passes, and the servant is in the best condition, and after that, I wonder what will happen
Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said in his book The Disease and the Cure
The King of Many came with his soldiers and soldiers, and found the heart in his fortress, sitting on the throne of his kingdom.
His command is carried out by his agents, and his soldiers have surrounded him, fighting on his behalf and defending his possessions.
They were not able to attack him except with the help of some of his princes and soldiers against him.
So ask about the soldier most close to him and the one closest to him in his house
He was told that it is the soul
The helpers said, “Enter upon her as she desires, and see the places of her love and what she is beloved of.”
So they promised her it and blessed her with it
And engrave the image of the beloved in her in her wakefulness and sleep
If you feel at ease with him and live with him
So cast upon her the hooks and hooks of lust
Then they brought it to you
If it brews in the heart and becomes with you on it
You possessed the openings of the eye, the ear, the tongue, the mouth, the hand, and the foot
So they were stationed at these borders completely
Whenever you enter it into the heart, he is either killed or captured
Or a wounded person suffering from wounds
Do not leave these gaps
Do not allow a secret to enter the heart and take you out of it
And if you are defeated, strive to weaken and weaken the secret so that it does not reach the heart.
If you reach it, you arrive weak, it will not avail you of anything
If you seize these gaps
So prevent the gap of the eye from making his sight count
Rather, make his gaze a form of amusement, approval, and distraction
If he was tempted to look for a lesson, then they spoiled it for him with a look of heedlessness, approval, and lust.
It is closer to him, more attached to himself, and easier for him
Below you is the opening of the eye, for from it you will attain what you seek
For I have never corrupted the children of Adam with anything like sight
With it, I sow the seed of desire in the heart
Then water it with wishing water
Then I continue to promise and wish him until I strengthen his resolve
And I lead him by the reins of lust to renounce his infallibility
Do not neglect this loophole
And spoil it as much as you can
And make his affairs easy for him
And tell him
The amount of a look that invites you to praise the Creator and the wonderful Provider
This picture is good
They were created for the observer to use as evidence
God did not create eyes for you in vain
God did not create this image to hide it from sight
Then prevent anything from entering the ear that might spoil the matter for you
So strive not to introduce anything into it except falsehood
It is easy on the soul
You make it permissible and you ask for it
They chose for him the sweetest and most captivating words
Mix it with whatever the soul desires
And give the word
If you see him listening to her
So increase it with her sisters
Whenever you encounter something from him, he approves of it
They satirized him by mentioning him
Be careful not to let any of the words of God enter through this gap
Or the words of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
Or the words of sound people
If you are defeated in that
Something of that came in
They prevented him from understanding and contemplating
Thinking about it and being upset with it
Either by saving against it
Or by exaggerating and exaggerating it
And his understanding that this is something that has come between souls and him
There is no way for her to do so
It is a heavy burden for her to bear, and so on
Or by making it easier for souls
The work should be done with what is highest among people
And dearer to them and stranger to them
And more customers
As for the truth, it is abandoned
The one who says this is exposing himself to aggression
Profit among people is more important than altruism and the like
They introduce falsehood to him in every form that he accepts and is easy for
They give him the truth in every form that he hates and burdens him
And if you want to know that
So look at their fellow human devils
How do they enjoin good and forbid evil?
In the form of a lot of curiosity
And track people's missteps
Exposure to unbearable affliction
Spreading strife among people and so on
Then he says
Stand by the mouth
It is the greatest gap
So they spoke to him that would harm him and not benefit him
And prevent him from doing anything that will benefit him
Who remembers God and seeks His forgiveness
And reciting his book and advising his servants
Or speaking useful knowledge
You will have two great impacts in this gap
You don't care which one you braid
One of them is speaking falsehood
The one who speaks falsehood is one of your brothers
He is your greatest soldier and helper
The second is to remain silent about the truth
He who is silent about the truth is a mute brother to you
The first is also your speaking brother
Perhaps the second brother is the most useful of your brothers to you
Have you not heard a wise saying?
He who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil
He who is silent about the truth is a mute devil
The ligament is the ligament on this gap
To speak the truth or refrain from falsehood
They made it easy for him to speak falsehood in every way
They feared him from speaking the truth in every way
And know, my son
The gap of the tongue is what destroyed the children of Adam
And He will throw them on their noses into the Fire
How many dead, captured and wounded I have
I took it from this gap
And I give you a commandment, so keep it
Let one of you utter a word through the tongue of his fellow human being
The other is on the tongue of the listener
He expresses his approval, glorification, and amazement at her
He asks his brother to return it
And be helpful to mankind in every way
And enter upon them from every door
They set up an observatory for them
Did you not hear the oath that I swore to their Lord where I said?
Because you have seduced me, I will remain for them on your straight path
Then I will come to them from before them and behind them
And about their right and left
You will not find most of them thankful
Do you not see that I have followed the son of Adam in all his ways?
I do not miss a path without sitting for another path
Until some or all of my needs were fulfilled
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, warned them of this
And he told them
Satan has seized the son of Adam in all his ways
He sat for him in the path of Islam
He said to him, “Should you submit and abandon your faith and religion?”
He said to him, “Should you embrace Islam and abandon your religion and the religion of your fathers?”
He disagreed with him and converted to Islam
So he sat for him on the way to migration
And he said
I emigrate and leave your land and your sky
He disagreed with him and migrated
Then he sat for him on the path of jihad and said:
I struggle, and I am killed, and the money is divided, and the wife is married
So he disagreed with him and struggled
Thus, support them in all good ways
If someone wants to give charity
So they sat for him on the path of charity
And tell him about himself
I take out the money and it remains like this liquid
And you and he become equal in his position
Or have you not heard what I said on the tongue of a man?
Another asked him to give him alms
And he said
It's our money
If we give it to you, we will become like you
They stayed with him on the way to Hajj and told him
The path is frightening and difficult
Whoever does it is exposed to damage to life and money
Thus, they supported him on all the paths of goodness
By alienating them and mentioning their difficulties and harms
Then make them sit on the path of sin
So they improved it in the eyes of the children of Adam and in their hearts
And make women your greatest helpers in this
From their doors, enter them and decorate them
What a blessing they are to you
Then they closed the arms and legs
So prevent her from running or walking in anything that will harm you
And know that they are your greatest helpers in adhering to these gaps
Reconciliation of the commanding soul
So help her and seek her help
And they extended it and derived from it
And be with her in the fight against the reassured soul
So they worked hard to break it and nullify its powers
There is no way to do that
Except by cutting off its materials
If its materials are cut off
The materials of the emirate soul have been strengthened
Its agents obeyed you
So they removed the heart from the share of the soul
So they took the heart down from its fortress
They isolated him from his kingdom
And put in his place the emirate soul
She only orders what she desires and loves
Do not judge by what you hate at all
Although she does not disagree with you in anything you advise her to do
Rather, if you point out something to her, she takes the initiative to do it
If you feel in your heart a struggle for his kingdom
And you wanted security from that
So they concluded a marriage contract between him and the commanding soul
So they decorated it and beautified it
And show her the most beautiful bride there is
And tell him to taste the sweetness of this connection
Enjoy this bride
I also tasted the taste of war
The bitterness of stabbing and beating began
Then balance the pleasure of this peace
And the bitterness of that fight
Let the war end
It is not a day that passes
Rather, it is a war connected to death
Your strength weakens from continuing the war
And seek help, my son, from two great soldiers
You will not prevail with them
One of them is Jund al-Ghafalah
So forgive the hearts of the children of Adam on behalf of God Almighty
And the Hereafter is in every way
There is nothing more effective in achieving your goal than that
If the heart neglects God Almighty
You defeated him and his agents
The second is the army of desires
So they decorated it in their hearts
And they made it better in their eyes
They arrived at them with these two soldiers
There is no one more eloquent among the children of Adam than them
And seek help from heedlessness through desires
And on desires due to heedlessness
And associate among the heedless
And if you see a group gathering together for the remembrance of God that harms you
And studying His commands, prohibitions, and religion
And you were not able to separate them
So they sought help from their own kind, the helpless human beings
So they brought them closer to them
They confused them with them
And in bulk
So prepare for things to happen
And enter upon every one of the sons of Adam out of his will and desire
So they helped him with it
And be his helpers in achieving them
And if God has commanded them to be patient
That they may be patient with you and be patient with you
And they will close the borders against you
So be patient and be patient
They tied them to the borders
And take advantage of your opportunities when it comes to lust and anger
Do not hunt human beings in greater places than these two places
Rather, their parents were expelled from Paradise due to lust
Rather, the enmity between their children was cast out with anger
Because of it, their wombs were cut off
And their blood was shed
With it, one of the sons of Adam killed his brother
God has instructed them to seek help from you with patience and prayer
So they prevented them from doing so
And forget them
And seek help against them through lust and anger
And use your weapons against them and make them stronger
Heedlessness and following desires
Their greatest weapons are among you and the security of their fortresses
Remembering God and opposing desires
If you see a man going against his desires
So flee from his shadow and do not come close to him
He ended his speech with a simple gesture
What is meant is for a person to know the plans of his enemies
To be careful of them
