Four qualities that work in a person’s favour, and three that work against them Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “There are four qualities that bring benefit to those who have them, and three that bring harm to those who have them.” The four that benefit a person are: 1. Gratitude (Shukr) 2. Faith (Eman) 3. Seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) 4. Supplication (Du'a) Allah says: ﴿ما يفعل الله بعذابكم إن شكرتم وآمنتم﴾ “What would Allah do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe?” [4:147] And He says: ﴿وما كان الله معذبهم وهم يستغفرون﴾ “Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” [8:33] And He says: ﴿ما يعبؤ بكم ربي لولا دعاؤكم﴾ “My Lord would not care for you were it not for your supplication.” [25:77] The three that harm a person are: 1. Breaking promises (Nakth) 2. Evil plotting (Makr) 3. Injustice (Baghy) Allah says: ﴿ومن نكث فإنما ينكث على نفسه﴾ “Whoever breaks his pledge only breaks it against himself.” [48:10] And He says: ﴿ولا يحيق المكر السيئ إلا بأهله﴾ “The evil plot only surrounds those who make it.” [35:43] And He says: ﴿إنما بغيكم على أنفسكم﴾ “Your injustice is only against yourselves.” [10:23] [Hilyat Al-Awliya’ (5/182)] https://t.me/madrasatunaa/343
