The bases of fighting
the soul
Fighting the soul is a very important matter for everyone who seeks Allah, everyone who reaches Allah's satisfaction, every righteous person and every strengthened or well-acquainted person. Righteous and devoted people spent their lives in understanding the thoughts of the soul and showing its degrees, explaining its hidden whispers in chests and what it does in the hearts of believers who fear Allah, like inspired ideas and divine statuses. Righteous people made the advancements of goers according to their fight to the soul, we will return to this in details later.
The medicine and the
psychiatrist
Righteous people decided that whoever wants to fight his soul, he should depend on medicines from the book of Allah and cures from the Sunna of our sir the apostle of Allah following the way of a divine wise spiritual psychiatrist who got clear permission from our sir the apostle of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
So at the very beginning we determine that:
Whoever prescribes a cure for the soul that opposes Sharia of Allah, it is a satanic matter or a personal matter away from the orders of Allah. So the first thing decided by righteous people in fighting the soul is that it must be by cures from the book of Allah and medicines from Sunna of our sir the apostle of Allah derived by a permitted righteous man by an explicit license from our sir the apostle of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), we don’t agree to anything else.
Anyone decides to fight his soul not according to Sharia or the way of Prophet Mohammed, then he follows his desires, his astray nature and his blind wish away from the orders of Sharia, so Allah says:
"And whoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him any righteous person to lead (him) aright." (Surat Al-Kahf, verse 17)
I.e. he follows the way of error and its reasons, so he won't find a righteous guide to lead him. When anyone orders a follower with something illegal, he should stop and talk with him even if he saw him doing plain dignities or heard him saying distinctive inspirations, he should say to him as Al-Khaleel (Ibraheem) said: "Tell me about the reality so that my heart get assured." A follower should only do what his heart is assured to.
You all may remember the noble Hadeeth in which our sir the messenger of Allah says:
"Ask your soul, (he said it three times) the good deed is what the soul is assured to and the sin is what not accepted by your soul or your chest even if people say and assure it is right."
It is a clear and direct Hadeeth, if my imam or guide is preserved and protected, I am still not in the circle of protection or preservation yet, so I ask him to explain to me to stay away from obsessions, thoughts, suspicions and suppositions…etc, in order to go to Allah and His apostle with a pure heart, as Allah says:
"Except him who comes to Allah with a pure heart." (Surat Asho'araa, verse 89)
So our imam Abul-Aza'em shows how a man should sit with a woman even if he is a great sheikh and angels follow his orders, he says: My beloved (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said a trusted words, he said:
"Whoever believes in Allah and the Hereafter he shouldn’t be alone with a woman without unmarriageable person to her because Satan will be with them."
I.e. in privacy, the privacy is a place which is closed for them, if they sit in an open place, then it is not a privacy. Imam Abul-Aza'em also says: "If the man is assured of himself and that Allah protects him, is he assured of the woman sitting with him? Won't suppositions and obsessions come to her mind?" I.e. if he is assured of himself, is he assured of the woman who is sitting with him? So safety is in following Sharia as it is said:
"Keep to Sunna even if you are preached or told you are going to paradise."
Imam Abul-Aza'em said:
"Keep to his (the prophet's) Sunna and be polite and be careful that the fortress of Sharia is the way to safety."
We all seek safety and safety is the way without remorse, so you don’t need to feel inner pain, regret or ask yourself why you did so and so, so you should be assured from the very beginning, so the good deed is what the heart is assured to even if people say it is right and the sin is what not accepted in your heart and you don’t want people to see it. So we say and repeat again that the first principles assured by righteous people and they kept to them in fighting the soul is:
- The means of fighting the soul must be from the book of Allah and the Sunna of the apostle of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
- The method, the way, the medicines and the cures taken by the follower to fight his soul must be prescribed by divine luminous wise man, what is his description?
He is an experienced wise man or doctor chosen and selected by Allah and promoted and bellowed by our sir the apostle of Allah, our sir the apostle of Allah permitted him frankly to cure people depending on insight from Allah as Allah says:
"Say: This is my way: I call to Allah, I and those who follow me by clear insight." (Surat Yusof, verse 108)
Imam Abul-Aza'em said: "Oh follower, these acts of exercising aims at submission and servility to Allah, if done, then you are a righteous man."
Fighting the soul is the greatest jihad as narrated in the noble hadeeth. To go in this way, man need equipment and tools to be alert or years will pass while he stands still and not promoted in his way to Allah, so he should put the basis first.
This basis consists of four columns, the first is legal food, the second is acquiring needed or inevitable knowledge of Sharia and applying it, the third is trying to work only for Allah's sake and the fourth is the guide, the latter is the door from which man can enter the infield of jihad while he is cautious. If he entered the field of jihad following the applying guide, the guide will teach him three things needed in this field; firstly what he should fight, secondly how he should fight and thirdly why he fights his soul and what is the aim of this battle he is involved in?
