The eight troubles that ruin a person's life

 

The eight troubles that ruin a person's life


 The eight troubles that ruin a person's life


When a person is negligent of Allah Ta'ala...or commits a sin, many troubles befall him...but "eight" of these troubles are very dangerous...these eight troubles ruin a person's life and he endangers the hereafter...so we were taught to pray every day in the morning and in the evening to avoid these eight troubles...the strange thing is that...the arrows of these eight troubles...every morning and every evening we but leaves...so the person who takes shelter of Allah Ta'ala in the morning and evening...he is saved...and the one who does not take this refuge falls victim to one or more of these arrows...


Those eight afflictions are:


(1) "Alham" means to be concerned

(2) "Al-Hazn" means to be bound in grief

(3) "Al Ujaz" means lack of courage, idleness, deprivation

(4) "Axel" means laziness, negligence

(5) "Aljaban" means cowardice, fear, weakening of the heart and melting

(6) Al-Bakhl means miserliness, greed, greed and narrow-mindedness about wealth

(7) "Ghalbat al-Din" means getting stuck in debt so badly that there is no way out

(8) "Qharr al-Rijal" means becoming a victim of people's wrath, anger, dominance and oppression...


Precious Prayer

The prayer for protection from these eight calamities... has been mentioned in many blessed hadiths... it has even been mentioned in Sahih Bukhari...

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to make this supplication frequently.

Just estimate the importance from this. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was innocent, safe and free from all the evils of Satan... but still he used to make this supplication a lot...

It is in the tradition of Abu Dawud that... The Holy Prophet ﷺ went to the mosque during the day and found his companion Hazrat Abu Imamah (RA) sitting there... He asked that it is not time for prayer, then how come you are sitting in the mosque... He said... Thoughts surrounded by...and stuck in debt... 

He said, "Recite these words in the morning and in the evening... When he arranged, the thoughts also went away and Allah Ta'ala also removed all the debt...


This supplication has been mentioned in many hadiths with some delay and some differences

Two forms of dua are being presented here...whichever seems easy, make it your routine...

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ، وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ

(1) O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, helplessness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debt, and being overpowered by men.


(2) O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, and I seek refuge in You from helplessness and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from being overcome by debt and being oppressed by men.


Understand the translation of the words again briefly…


1.. “Inspiration” refers to thoughts… future worries, anxieties, futile plans and thoughts…


2.. Al-Hazn “Grief is called … the shock and grief of past events suddenly arise and cover the heart… although it is mentioned in Hadith Sharif … “No one can find the truth of faith until Let him not believe that what has reached him could not have survived him...and what remained of him could not have reached him.” (Musnad Ahmad)

That is, the blessing that was received could not be received more than what was meant to be received...the pain that came was bound to come, it could not be avoided...and what was not received was not to be received even if I did anything...meaning this That faith in Allah's destiny and being satisfied with Allah's destiny... this is the cure for grief...


3.. “Al Ujja” means losing the power to do good deeds and good blessings… it also comes with less courage…


4..'Alxal' means laziness...means weakening of human will...I can't...I don't...


5.. "Al-Jaban" Cowardice, fear of death, always worrying about saving one's life...Allah knows that by putting it on you will get Jannah, but we always think about saving life instead of taking life...Allah Allah gave life so that we can use it... to make the religion dominant, to protect Islamic sanctities... to give honor to the Muslim Ummah... but we are ready to bear every humiliation to save life... this is called "cowardice". …


6.. al-Bakhl'' being miserly about wealth...not benefiting from wealth...being greedy for accumulating and counting wealth...becoming a servant and employee of wealth...and not paying the Shariah and moral rights of wealth...


7.. Zilauddin” Badly imposed by debt… Getting into the habit of taking useless loans… Being crushed under the burden of debts…


8.. Dominance of men or men of men” … to be humiliated, disgraced, defeated and oppressed by people…


May Allah protect me and all of you from these eight calamities and all calamities...


Amen or Arham al-Rahimin
