LIKE A
COMPUTER VIRUS can be the cause of corruption of files and deletion and loss of
all work, the viruses of Riyaa (show / ostentation), Ujub (vanity / conceit),
Kibr (pride) and other sins have similar consequences. They destroy and delete
good works. ...May Allah Ta’ala purify and protect us.
In the
field of technology, man has formulated and designed Antivirus software which
is used to protect, scan, identify, prevent, remove and destroy viruses from a
computer. Allah Ta’ala, the Creator of man, has given man a special Anti-Virus
programme for man’s own self. This unique Anti-Virus is instituted for the
protection of the spiritual heart from the viruses of sins – viruses which
sometimes go undetected and which cause great harm and destruction to the
individual, as well as to others. This Spiritual Anti-Virus comes in the form of
the Suhbat (company) of the Ahlullah (The special friends of Allah).
It is in
their noble company that we are able to identify the viruses of sins and it is
through their guidance and direction, that we can easily eliminate these
spiritual viruses. …We should thus sincerely seek out the company of the
Ahlullah for the protection and purification of our hearts and souls. This is
in keeping with Allah Ta’ala’s Command:
يٰٓأَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَكُوْنُوْا
مَعَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ ◌
“O YOU WHO BELIEVE; FEAR ALLAH
AND KEEP IN THE COMPANY OF THE SAWDIQEEN
(THE TRUTHFUL ONES).”
(THE TRUTHFUL ONES).”
[SURAH AT-TAUBAH 9 : 119]
