The victims of envy



The topic of envy and it’s effects is mentioned a few times through the Quran and Sunnah.  Allah Subhana Wa’Tala tells us; 


“Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command.  Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.” (Surah Baqarah Verse 109) 


“Or do they envy people for what Allah has given them of His bounty?  But we had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom.” (An-Nisa: 54)


“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.” (Al-Falaq: 5)


How does envy occur? 


The most common various steps leading to envy are; 


1. Enmity - a feeling of active opposition or hostility 


2. Supremacy - the feeling of being superior to all others in status, power etc 


3. Pride - a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own personal achievements 


4. Wonder - a feeling of amazement and admiration. 


5. Fear - an unpleasant feeling caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm 


6. Love of authority

Indeed the whispering of the Shaytaan deceived them and made them disobey Allah through tasting the fruits of the forbidden tree.  Waswas comes in different degrees , in terms of the type of waswas and how it effects p...

Destroying taweez (amulets)

 When it comes to destroying taweez, there are a number of things to bear in mind.  EQUIPMENT  You will need the following equipment: 1.  A tray - This will ensure that everything stays together and nothing falls on the floor. 2.  A long neck gas lighter – the kind often used for lighting barbecues. 3. A suitable container for burning the ta’weez in. I personally use a stainless steel metal cylinder, but you can use an old pan, or anything that can take the heat. 4. Gloves If the taweez is encased in a container, you will also need: 1.  A pair of pliers and scissors, and possibly other tools to open the case. 2.  Eye protection is recommended. PLEASE NOTE : If the taweez contains knots, you will also need a loose razor blade. If the method calls for ruqyah water, you will also need a bowl of tap water. *Before beginning , we recommend that during the whole process, from beginning to end, the person continually recites al-Falaq and an-Naas.* How to open...
