Recognize It
This blog section highlights an important aspect of our daily life.
We all know Shaitan is our enemy, ALLAH told us this fact many times in the Quran.
In the Quran and the words of Sunnah dua, we often see the practice of seeking refuge from Shaitan and the Self (nafs).
The first step to prevent any harm from the enemy is to Recognize it.
We get different types of evil invitations daily; some techniques are old and proven, and others are new and on a trial basis.
We are often aware of it but unable to focus at that moment.
Why don’t we talk about recognizing such invitations to become more ready to deal with them?
Maybe we underestimate the network and abilities of Shaitan & co as an enemy.
As we have grown up over the years, they also did, and as ALLAH said they see us from a place where we cannot see them (plus point for their side)
How much ever intelligent we are, Shaitan assigned to us would also be accordingly wise and intelligent.
But, they have limitations, they don’t have any powers over us (Alhamdulillah) as ALLAH stated in his declaration in Surah Al Ibrahim.
He cannot force us but, he can just invite us.
(plus point for our side)
Not only the Shaitan but “our Nafs”, our mental distress times and complex emotional status also misguide us at times. This also needed to be recognized as the potential enemy, and their invitations also needed to be noticed.
The emotions of anger, jealousy, superiority/inferiority complexes and common behavioral abnormalities will be explained in easy words, to be recognized and guided in the hope of improvement.
Focus a bit on these Invitations, Recognize them at the same moment, and manage your reaction to them.
This is the key to success, which will insha ALLAH, help us reach our dream destination, our Jannah. (aameen)

The termites of Impressed Awe (Part 2 )
In continuation of our talk from part 1 of the article, it is most important to recognise this disease as a disease. We think of it as something small and something normal, although it is not. These feelings of impressed awe are eating our brain potentials as termites eat the wood. It is eating our dignity and our confidence as a Ummah. The first step is to recognise it and then to train ourselves to take every good thing as a blessing from ALLAH. Hamd and wow impressions should be only for ALLAH and simple compliments for good characters of humans. Appreciating others is not a part of being influenced.
The termites of Impressed Awe (Part 1 )
Fantasies, love and admiration in life changes with the age in younger people and there are specific patterns of admiration in adult life, for each person.
To what extent these seeds of admiration remain healthy and at what boundary it become unhealthy. This is very very important to recognise.
Difference exists between simple admiration and the heart which is in awe blindly for something or someone. First one can be ignored to say as normal but the second one is a disease. A termite which is eating healthy brain potentials. We belong to ummat al wasat and everything which disbalances the correct order of life does not go well with our principles.
