Is the weakness in the body or in the breath?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), from our discussion about weakness, does it occur in the body or in the breathing, in the soul?
Answer:
The weakness can be in the body in all its forms, and it can also be in the soul, in the whispers, worries, and sorrows. The person then begins to doubt everything before him and every person he meets or sits with. As a result, Allah sends down illusions and psychological illnesses upon him because he resorted to these matters, and they affected him.
As for if he relies on Allah, entrusts the matter to Allah, and believes that none but Allah brings good and none but Allah averts evil, then first, Allah will protect him from these things.
Second, he will be in comfort and rest because he relies on Allah. He reads His saying, the Exalted:[At-Tawbah 9:51] It is obligatory for the Muslim to rely on Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) and not to take as means anything other than what Allah has made a means, while relying on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for what Allah has not made a means, he should stay away from it, even if he finds benefit in it or is told that it benefits him. He should not believe that; rather, he should consider this to be a form of gradual leading into sin. The polytheists and those who worship graves may have their needs met and their desires fulfilled as a trial, test, and gradual leading from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Therefore, the fulfillment of a desire is not evidence of the permissibility of the thing; the evidence is from the Book and the Sunnah. Yes. May Allah reward you.
