Causes of temptation
0:11
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may God Almighty have mercy on him, sufficed with mentioning the causes of temptations and falling into them
0:19
He referred it to two major reasons, under which there are many branches
0:25
The two reasons are suspicions and desires
0:29
He says, may God Almighty have mercy on him
0:32
There are two types of temptation
0:34
The temptation of doubts is the greater of the two temptations
0:38
And the temptation of desires
0:40
They may be combined for the slave, or he may be alone with one of them
0:44
The temptation of doubts is a result of weak insight and lack of knowledge
0:49
Especially if this is coupled with corruption of intent and the occurrence of passion
0:54
There is a great turmoil and a great calamity
0:58
So say whatever you want about misguidance with bad intentions
1:01
The ruler has his own passion for guidance
1:04
With his weak insight and lack of knowledge of what God sent His Messenger with
1:10
He is one of those whom God Almighty said about them
1:13
They follow nothing but conjecture and what their souls desire
1:19
This temptation leads to disbelief and hypocrisy
1:23
It is the temptation of hypocrites and the temptation of heretics
1:27
According to the levels of their heresies
1:30
All of them were invented due to the temptation of doubts
1:33
In which they suspected truth of falsehood and guidance of error
1:39
The only way to escape from this temptation is to strip away the followers of the Messenger
1:44
And his arbitration in the importance of religion and its glory
1:47
His outward and inward beliefs and deeds
1:51
His facts and laws
1:54
This temptation sometimes arises from a corrupt understanding
1:58
Sometimes it is a false report
2:01
Sometimes it is an established right that is hidden from a man and he does not obtain it
2:06
Sometimes it is for a corrupt purpose and it is followed
2:10
It is caused by blindness in insight and corruption in the will
2:15
The second type of temptation
2:18
The temptation of desires
2:20
It is the temptation that is caused by passion
2:23
It is not ignorance of the truth or suspicion of it
2:27
Rather, the perpetrator of this temptation is aware of the truth
2:31
But he turned away from it and preferred someone else
2:34
What his heart desires and his soul desires
2:37
The origin of all temptation is the prioritization of opinion over Sharia law
2:42
Passion over reason
2:44
The first is the origin of the temptation of doubts
2:47
The second is the origin of the temptation of desires
2:51
It was mentioned in a mursal hadith that some scholars considered weak
2:55
But its meaning is correct
2:57
God loves critical sight
3:00
When suspicions arise
3:02
He loves a perfect mind
3:04
When desires come
3:06
So, it is the root of all temptations
3:09
Either suspicion or lust
3:11
If temptations coincide, lack of knowledge and ignorance of the truth
3:16
Or suspicion of a corrupt interpretation
3:18
Its owner fell into temptation due to suspicion
3:22
If he agrees, knowing the truth of the servant
3:25
But his patience with desires is weak
3:28
He fell into temptation because of lust, not suspicion
3:32
The third type of causes of temptation
3:35
It is a mixture of suspicion and lust
3:38
That is, whoever falls into temptation does not admit that he is weak in patience
3:43
His whims have overcome him
3:45
But he tries too hard
3:47
Evidence based on a whim based on legal suspicion
3:51
He justifies his doing what he did
3:54
That is, he does not acknowledge his mistakes and whims
3:58
Rather, he claims that he is right based on his suspicion
4:01
From a corrupt interpretation or weak evidence
4:05
Falling into temptation has other secondary reasons
4:09
Including haste and haste
4:11
And abandoning Istikhara and consulting
4:14
And sitting with the people of the world, immorality and innovations
4:18
And reading their books and articles
4:21
Being absorbed in the world and relying on it
4:24
And its preference for the afterlife
4:27
Reasons for surviving temptations
4:31
Knowing the reasons for falling into the aforementioned temptations
4:37
The reasons for its prevention become clear to us
4:40
The most important of them
4:42
Firstly
4:43
Asking God Almighty
4:45
Steadfastness in the truth
4:47
And seek refuge in Him from temptations
4:49
What is apparent from it and what is hidden
4:51
As in the famous supplication
4:53
Oh God, I seek refuge in You from temptations
4:56
What is apparent from it and what is hidden
4:59
No one came from temptation
5:01
Except with God's help and success
5:04
And his protection for his servant from it
5:07
And what achieves the answer of God Almighty
5:10
For those who call upon Him and seek refuge in Him
5:12
God Almighty knows the sincerity of His servant in his requests and supplications
5:17
It is a sign of the sincerity of supplication and request
5:20
To take other measures to protect against temptation
5:24
Secondly
5:26
Removing the temptation of suspicions with forensic knowledge
5:29
And the correct understanding of God Almighty
5:32
And its rulings stem from the Book of God Almighty
5:36
And the Sunnah of his Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
5:39
Concerning this, Ibn al-Qayyim, may God Almighty have mercy on him, says
5:43
Correct understanding and good intent
5:46
One of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed upon His servant
5:50
Rather, nothing was given to Abdul Ata’ after Islam that was better or more timely than either of them
5:56
Rather, they are the basis of Islam and its establishment on them
6:00
Correct understanding is a light that God casts into the heart of the servant
6:05
It distinguishes between correct and incorrect
6:08
And right and wrong
6:10
And guidance and misguidance
6:12
And cancel and guidance
6:14
He extends good intentions
6:16
And investigate the truth
6:18
And fear the Lord in secret and in public
6:21
Neither the mufti nor the ruler is able to issue fatwas and rule with truth
6:26
Except for two types of understanding
6:28
One of them is understanding reality and jurisprudence in it
6:32
The second type is understanding the duty in reality
6:36
It is an understanding of God’s ruling that He ruled in His Book
6:40
Or on the tongue of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, in this reality
6:45
Then apply one to the other
6:49
Third
6:50
Treating the temptation of desires with fear of God Almighty
6:54
And give preference to what he has in the afterlife
6:57
That is better and more lasting
7:00
And settle oneself on patience and piety
7:03
If you are patient and pious, then that is part of the determination of matters
7:08
Because this temptation may occur to those who have knowledge of God Almighty and His rulings
7:15
But it came to him out of passion and weakness of piety
7:19
It was not about his lack of knowledge of the truth
7:22
But from a lack of piety and patience
7:25
And preferring the world over the truth
7:28
Fourth
7:29
And because it is one of the reasons for falling into temptation
7:32
Hurry and haste
7:35
The cure for that was patience, gentleness, forbearance, and selfishness
7:40
Fifth
7:41
Istikhara of God Almighty
7:44
And consult someone whose knowledge, religion, and awareness of reality are trusted
7:49
Sixth
7:50
Be careful to unite the word and reject division and differences
7:55
Except for those who must be separated from among the people of disbelief, hypocrisy, and false innovations
8:02
Seventh
8:04
The necessity of piety and sitting with the righteous
8:07
And a lot of worship of fountains and sacrifices
8:11
And frequent remembrance of God Almighty
8:14
Eighth
8:15
Enjoining good and forbidding evil
8:18
And intensifying the call to God Almighty
8:22
Struggling against the infidels and hypocrites with tongue, money and teeth
8:27
And isolation when the fighting is between Muslims themselves
8:32
Ninth
8:33
Asceticism in this world and beware of its temptations
8:37
It is a temptation for everyone who is intrigued
8:40
Tenth
8:41
Retire from temptation and its people
8:44
And not to participate in it with tongue, pen or teeth
8:49
Isolation is neither praiseworthy nor reprehensible at all
8:54
But it varies from person to person
8:58
From one place and one situation to another
9:01
He looks at the harms and benefits that result from them, and balances them between them
9:07
The basic principle is that mingling involves cooperation in righteousness and piety
9:13
She is commanded to do so
9:15
Even if it involves cooperation in sin and aggression
9:19
It is forbidden
9:21
Isolation is required then
