Heedless people

don’t see things the way they truly are

13

“They know what is apparent of the worldly life, and of the Hereafter they are Ghafilun (heedless).” [Surah Ar-Rum, Verse 7]

14

Most dangerous

heedlessness

Being heedless of Allah (swt)’s

commandments and

prohibitions….

15

…or considering them

as irrelevant

16

Allah (swt) describes them as…

17

“And surely, We have created many of the jinn

and mankind for Hell.

18

They have hearts with which they do not

understand

19

, they have eyes with which they do not see

20

and they have ears with which they do not hear.

21

They are like cattle,.

22

rather they are more astray, It is they who are

the Ghafilun (the heedless ones).” [Surah Al-

A’raf, Verse 179]

23

“I know, I know…”

24

“Just keep praying for

me!”

25

“It isn’t easy u know!”

26

“I’ll do it soon!”

27

“But no one else is doing it!”

28

“I am too weak!”

29

“I wish I was like you!”

30

And some simply go

into denial!

31

“Allah doesn’t need

us to worship Him!”

32

“Just being a good

person is

enough!”

33

“Allah is not cruel to throw us in Hell because of this!”

34

He is Most Forgiving!

35

“After all, we are Muslims!”

36

“I’ll start doing it, once my

exams are over!”

37

Oh! I just keep forgetting it!

38

“Good for you, if you do it.”

39

“The five pillars of Islam are the main things”

40

41

“Well,it is Fardh, but not at this age !”

42

If yes, that’s you

….

43

…then you need first aid for damage

control

44

45

Treatment for

Heedlessness

1.You seriously need to spend time in good

company.

46

They help you in your deen

47

They remind you of doing good & point out when you

slip

48

2.Seek forgiveness from Allah (swt)

49

Act like a merchant !

50

Each one of us is a

merchant too!

51

Seeking Allah

(swt)’s forgiveness balances things out

Please forgive me,

Allah!

52

According to the Prophet’s (saw) teachings, one should ask for

Allah’s forgiveness at least 70 to 100

times daily 53

3.Visiting righteous

people

54

We must seek knowledge

and du’a from them

55

Also ask them to remember us in their prayers

56

This person can be:

•Our teacher OR•Our elder

(if they are righteous and God fearing)

57

What if you don’t have one in your

life ?

58

4.Send blessings on the Prophet (pbuh)

59

“O you who believe ,invoke blessings upon (the prophet,

SAW) and salutation of

peace”. (Surah Al Ahzab 33:Verse 56)

60

Many scholars

have attested to this

This immensely purifies the soul

61

5.Recitation of the Qur’an

62

63

But plain recitation is beneficial as well

64

The actual sounds of the language of the Qur’an…

65

…And the breathtaking rhythms and words

are like medicine.

66

"O Mankind: There has come to you a good advice from

your Lord and a healing for the

(disease) in your hearts - and for those who believe a guidance and

mercy!" (Surah Yunus 10: Verse

57)67

“And We sent down

in the Qur’an

that which is healing

and a mercy to

those who believe”

(Surah Al Isra 17:Verse 82).

68

Recitation of Qur’an

has a healing

effect on the body, mind and

heart. 69

Watch Out !!

People who turn away from the

truth, Allah (swt)

increases their

heedlessness

70

Beware!

we keep falling in and out of this state…..

71

…. So keep your batteries charged

72

An interesting Fact!

Everyone will eventually be

cured of heedlessness.

73

The moment one dies , the veils are let down!

74

Heedlessness will vanishThe Unseen

75

“You were heedless of this. Now We have

removed your veil from you, so your sight this

day is sharp “ (Surah Qaaf 50: Verse

22)

76

But it will be too late then !

77

So the challenge is to be cured in this life,

78

But why didn’t Allah (swt) make things clear for us ?

79

He wants to test us!

80

The purpose of our lives….

And I (Allah) created not the jinn

and mankind except that they

should worship Me (alone)

(Surah Ad Dhariat 51: Verse 56)81

It will take the heat of Hell to remind some of us!

82

83

May all of us remember Him in this life and be saved in the Hereafter

Ameen
