BY OYEWUNMI.O.KAFAYAT
People can enter Hellfire through three doors: the door of doubts, which leads to hesitation in ALLAH’s religion, the door of lusts, which leads to preferring desires over Allah’s obedience, and the door of fury, which leads to aggression against HIS creation.
The sources of every sin are three matters: arrogance which caused Satan to behave the way he did, greed which caused Aadam to be expelled from the garden, and envy which emboldened one of the sons of Aadam against his brother.
He who protects himself from these three matters will be protected from evil. Unbelief comes from arrogance, disobedience comes from greed, and transgression and injustice come from envy. Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “He will not enter Hellfire who has the weight of a seed of faith in his heart and he will not enter Paradise who has the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart.” Sahih Muslim 91.
AstaqfirulLah.
May ALLAH have mercy on us all and protect us from such satanic influences. Aameen.
