Allah (swt)’s mercy is boundless, so do sins as much as possibile and then repent later on, Allah (swt) will forgive you.

Can someone add something ^

From Reliance of a traveller:

THOSE DELUDED BY ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS

Other sinners delude themselves by saying, "Allah is generous, we but rely on His forgiveness," while the learned tell us that if one longs for something One pursues it, and if one fears something one shuns it. Whoever hopes for forgiveness while persisting in wrongdoing is deluded. One must know that Allah Most High with His vast mercy, is terrible in retribution, having decreed that unbelievers shall abide in hell forever even though their unbelief does not hurt Him in the slightest. He has made some of His servants prey to infirmities and trials in this world, though He, Glorious and Exalted, is quite able to eliminate them.

Moreover, He has made us fear His punishment. How can we not be afraid? Fear and hope drive and arouse one to action. That which does not spur one to works is deception, as is clear from the fact that the "hope" of most people makes them do nothing at all or prefer disobedience. It is odd that early Muslims both worked and feared, while nowadays, though falling far short, people feel secure and tranquil as though they knew more about the generosity of Allah Most High than the prophets and the righteous. If it could be had by wishing, why did the latter fatigue themselves and weep so much?

Does Allah condemn the Jews and Christians for anything besides being this way when He says,
"They grasp at the paltry things of this low life and say. 'We shall be forgiven' " (Koran 7:169).

This delusion resembles that of people who do both good and evil, but more of evil, while imagining their good to be greater. One might see them give a dirham as charity while having wrongfully appropriated many times that amount, or maybe even giving as charity something wrongfully acquired, relying on such a donation, which is like someone putting a dirham in one scalepan, a thousand in the other, and hoping the scale will balance. Or another of them who thinks his good acts are more than his evil ones, the reason for which is that he keeps track of the number of good deeds, but does not take himself to task for the bad ones, nor consider his sins. For example, he says, "Astaghfir Allah" (May Allah forgive me) and "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah) a hundred times a day, but then spends the rest of his day slandering Muslims and making ugly remarks, seeing the virtue of saying "Subhan Allah" and" Astighfir Allah," but not the punishment for slander and forbidden speech.

Two common tricks

1. Thinking that one has to perfect the inside (baatin/spiritual self) before following sunnahs on the outside (zaahir/physical self). ie how can I wear a hijaab when my heart is so filthy.

2. Thinking that Allah Ta'aala will not forgive one for the sins commited. This is a very dangerous trick of shaytan, and I've seen many threads on this topic, even one just yesterday. Shaytan uses this trick to completely take away the hope a person may have.

Trick: I have become old(puraana) worker in tableegh

May Allah swt save us from this

Aaameen..

[UHlVExs7]

Assalamu alaykum

You are there in this work for decades, now you should demand elevation, something like naazim etc. Command!!! Demand respect etc.

Your first phase is completed (taubah), Now you should progress like us. (good bye to TJ and progress).

I have written my personal experience. Alhamdulillah I was saved by these shaytan tricks.

[Pedsshuth]

^ That is called 'fake tawadu'

[GreesyBeeva]

I am not telling you not to offer salah or participate in tabligh or do any good work. You will pray salah, u will give sacrifices, u will do evry good deed, infact you will become a wali of Allah but there is time. You are to young for these thinigs. Youth is not meant for it. Havent you seen the ameer of XXX, didnt you hear his karguzari, he was a big don of time, he was a doper etc etc. So enjoy each day to the fullest and inshallah u will make taubah after 30 or 40. Your Allah is Gafoorur Raheem.
Sincerely yours

1) ''Why must i educate myself about in-depth islaam when i know that i don't have the strength to practice on the knowledge, its better to be ignorant - at least i won't feel guilty for not practicing on the knowledge i have?''

2) ''Why must i do hifdh when i know that i won't manage to do dhor?''

3) ''Why must i find out whether its haraam when i know that i won't manage to abstain - even if it is?''

I guess that's also common whisperings/tricks of shaitaan.

[Pedsshuth]

Let's keep on topic.

[GreesyBeeva]

Who is going out of topic?

[Pedsshuth]

I edited a post and put a reminder, just in case.

[idobestbuyonlinepp]

A Sheikh once quoted a biblical verse, something to the effect of; "satan will make you do 99 good deeds if it can result in him finally getting you to do 1 bad deed".

He then gave the example of a Muslim who recites the Qur'an, and thinks that Masha'Allah he has done a good deed (and he has). shaitaan tries to magnify this feeling of "I have done such a good deed by reciting the Qur'an right now", but in a 'slick' manner... not in a manner where one feels they are boasting or showing off, but rather in a 'humble' manner, the way we think we should be (humble). shaitaan then tells this Muslim to pick up this Mushaf very carefully, because it is the word of Allah . shaitaan then whispers into this Muslim's heart something like "you know this is the word of Allah, this is no joke, you can't just put it up on your shelf of Islamic books and forget about it, it should be in a nice cover or box or something".

The Muslim then asks his kid to bring a nice cover and a small case with lock & key, acting on the shaitaan's whisper, but thinking that he is doing the right thing (he is giving the utmost respect to the word of Allah afterall, right?). He then wraps the Mushaf in the nice cloth cover, then puts it in the nice case, and locks it. Then when he goes to put it on his usual shelf where he keeps his Islamic books where they can be easily reached, shaitaan whispers to him "you know, this is the word of Allah, it needs to be higher up than anything else in this house".

So, again, the Muslim, thinking that he's doing the right thing, asks his kid to bring a small ladder or stepping stool (isn't he doing the right thing? He is showing the utmost respect to the word of Allah afterall, right?).

The kid brings the ladder. The Muslim then goes to the depths of the biggest closet with the highest shelf in his house, one which cannot be reached just by standing but rather requires something to step on, in this case a ladder. He gets on the ladder, puts the now wrapped-and-locked Mushaf up on that shelf.

He then gets down from the ladder, and tells his kid to take away the ladder, walks out of the closet, closes the door, puts the key of the case in which he locked the Mushaf somewhere 'safe', and goes about his day.

Now, whenever he thinks about reading the Qur'an, he is not up to the task of grabbing the ladder or something else to step on, bringing down the Mushaf from way up high where he put it, unlocking it, and then reading it, and securing it back the same way he had it. So, he ends up just thinking about reading it, but never actually ends up doing it.

Time passes. Days, weeks, months, years.

Once he actually decides to go through the labor of bringing down the Mushaf from that high shelf deep in his closet. So, before doing that, he goes to get the key of the case in which he had locked the Mushaf in, so that he would be able to unlock it, take it out, and recite from it.

He cannot find the key. So, he again goes about his routine and the Mushaf stays where he had put it a long, long time ago. Wrapped-and-locked, way up high in the depths of his closet.

satan made him follow the etiquette of respecting the Qur'an to such an extreme that he pulled the Muslim away from reciting the Qur'an.

satan made him do some good deeds, the end result of which turned out to be a great, great loss for the Muslim - he stopped reciting from that very Mushaf, that very word of Allah, which he was giving so much respect to.

Insha'Allah this makes all of us think.

May Allah protect us all, and may he forgive me for anything I said wrong. Ameen.

shaitan in me:

defame ur self on SF so that people may think u to b a down to earth person.

wa Tu'izzu man Tasha wa tuzillu man tasha.. we have no power over fame or to defame.. that itself is a trick from u know who..

wa assalam..

[deandrecooke]

say only the truth plzz i will not mind. you are asking because of me/my post? I did the same thing.

No!

[Pedsshuth]

neither i m showing tawazo nor i meant that.

pray for me

I didn't mean you were showing fake tawadu, rather thought that was what you were aluding to as a trick of shaytan.

1) ''Why must i educate myself about in-depth islaam when i know that i don't have the strength to practice on the knowledge, its better to be ignorant - at least i won't feel guilty for not practicing on the knowledge i have?''

I have been through this.

I met a person a few weeks back who shaved off (fully) his full sunnah beard 'coz he didn't want people to think that he was a pious person. Can you believe it? I was just taken aback when he said this to me. He is very elder to me actually.

Lived most of his life in KSA, in Makkah and Madinah too among other places. Beat that. Still hasn't grown his beard.


As for me, sometimes, actually most of the times, I feel that I do things to please people but then I also know this could be from our mutual fiend, so don't think over it too much.

May Allah SWT save us all from the decepticon. Summa Aameen.

[diplmixxxx]

Another trick..
For TJ workers, dont go to ulema ask someone old in TJ for masail.
And for all TJ workers including me, we are guiding people to Islam, rather than our own Islah.

[cjOTw7ov]

Very true.
Not all of course, but pro-tablighis who are in the 5 aamaals and connected to the markaz get cured of this disease
