This Question has been running in my head these days a lot. Of course we are always tested but still I want to know what were some evil stuffs I did that led to my calamity. I surely am not innocent nor free of sins. When I think deeply, I find a few things that are common in some of us whose Emaan went down:
- Haughtiness
- Pride
- Arrogance
- Claiming to have knowledge
- Looking down on others
- Thinking oneself perfect as being 100% Honest, Free of Shirk and Innovation for 100% surety.
- Feeling too proud to accept advice or sound knowledge from someone else (whom he/she thinks to be not good enough)
- Being Harsh
- Making fun of those who are weak in Emaan and who sins openly (due to weakness of emaan)
- Criticizing others who are lower in state of emaan and knowledge
- Lack of humbleness and humility
- Quickness to judge others to be sinners, misguided, astray, and other terms
- (There are more, I am sure, but these are few all of us should look into inshaaAllah).
And you can see below the Description of the Slave of Ar-Rahman. Hence, when we know what caused our illness of weakness of Emaan, we can seek for cure to be sound in our Emaan. InshaaAllah.
