Relapsing into falsehood after having known and adhered to the truth.
0:14
This is among the greatest afflictions for a person.
0:16
It is to relapse into falsehood after having known the truth and followed its path.
0:21
This is the "al-hawr ba'd al-kawr" (the regression after progression).
0:24
Which the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sought refuge from.
0:29
Its meaning is:
0:30
Diminishment after increase.
0:32
And the corruption of affairs after their rectification.
0:35
An even greater trial and affliction than this is:
0:38
That a person’s corruption is not limited to himself alone.
0:42
Rather, it extends to corrupting others after he had been a reformer.
0:48
And that he becomes a mocker of the religion after having been one who served it.
0:53
For among the signs that a person has been deprived of Allah’s guidance is:
0:56
That He transforms him from a building block into a stumbling block on the path of the truthful.
1:02
We seek refuge in Allah from going astray after having been guided.
1:06
And from being forsaken after having been granted success.
