Nur Posted January 11, 2004 Nomads, As promised here are my thoughts that were sparked by sister Muna's post on Trials and tests we go through in life. Matter is said to have three states (except for advanced micro thermal states) Gas, Liquid and Solid. eNuri Labs postulate that humans have 4 states 1. Ghaflah state (Oblivion) 2. Dhanb State ( Sin) 3. Nicma State ( Good Times) 4. Ibtilaa State (Testing with Hardships) As for : The Ghaflah state, the cure is Dhiker The Dhanb State, the cure is Istighfaar The Nima State, to care for it, is Shukr The Hardship State (Ibtilaa), to face it we need Sabr In Depth Analyses 1. The Ghaflah State of Mind Allah SWT says in Quraan " The purpose for which I have created Man and Jinn was nothing else but to worship me" The closer our actions are to that purpose, the better we are in Allah's eyes, the farther our actions are from that purpose, the more Ghaflah State we are. Allah is the NOOR of the heavens and the earth, getting closer to Allah SWT through good deeds that meet the purpose of our creaion we see things clearer, when we drift away from Allah SWT we find ourselves in Ghaflah Darkness in which we do not see things as they are and as a result we act in a way contrary to the purpose fro which we were created, just like a malfunctioning house appliance. Allah is the ever living eternal, getting closer to him through good deeds life permeates our souls which makes us vivacious, full of life, purpose and hope, while on the other hand, drifting away from Allah SWT makes as members of the Ghaafiloon club, the walking dead. As we steer our lives in the rough waters of this life, we periodically find ourselves in Ghaflah State and without a remedy, we have no way to return to our initial purpose. That remedy is Dhiker, the remembrance of Allah SWT, to find out how Dhiker can keep your feet firm on the right course and away from Ghaflah state, please refer to my article " Xasuusta Allah" in Somali, and in case you can not read Somali, find someone to translate for you.

Raxmah Posted January 12, 2004 We see that most of humanity has become infected with the virus of ghaflah caused by shaytan. Shaytan is like a virulent disease - and this disease is like the AIDS virus in that it weakens the human being, and allows other evils to penetrate the heart. The only cure for ghaflah, like you said is thikr, it took me long enough to find out thikr of allah is the greatest thing, rememberance of allah all the time will put your whole in perspective. Most of us, if not all search for a perspective daily, but most of us don't know that thikr could be the answer to our search. Jazakallah Kheyr Nur walal-your posts are always informative and inspiring.May allah reward you for sharing your knowledge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nur Posted January 13, 2004 To Raxmah, Rayaan, Conquest and caramel, May Allah bless you all, thanks for the encouragement readership. Sundus sis, here is the Article: Nurtel Somali Language Publications Presents: Xasuusta Allah SWT ( Remembrance of Allah ) Walaalayaal; Waxaan shaki laheyn in wax walba loo uumay sabab, haddii waxaas sababtii loo uumay uu ku sugan yahay, waa sidii la rabay, haddii kale se oo wixii loo uumay uusan ku sugneyn, ama uu la yimaaddo hwol cusub, dhibaato ayaa laga fishaa ama cudur meeshii laga filan lahaa waxtar. Qalbiga banii aadanka, waxaa loo uumay jeceylka iyo xasuusta kii abuuray, inta uu qalbigaasugan yahay xasuusta kii uumay, qalbigaas lagama yaabo inuu ka baxo jeceylka Allah iyo daacadiisa. Qalbigu waa xubinta ay u hoggaansan yihiin xubnaha kale ee korka, haddii markaas qalbiga laga waayo xasuusta Allah iyo jeceylkiisa, korka intiisa kale lagama yaabo in ay Allah u hoggansamaan sidii ku habbooneyd Allah SWT. Xasuusta Allah wexey dhalisaa jeceylka Allah, sidaasoo kalena jeceylka Allahna wuxuu dhaliyaa, xasuustiisa. Xasuusta Allah ama Dhikrigiisa waxaa noo faray Allah markuu yidhi ( i xasuusta, waan idin xasuusane, iina mahad celiya, hana ismoogeysiinina nicmadddeyda ( Takfuruun) ) Xasuusta Allah SWT waxaa ku jirta waxtar badan, oo aan ka soo qaadaneyno intii noo suuro gasha wexey culimadu sheegeen. Dhikriga Allah SWT: 1. Wuxuu eryaa sheydaanka. Qofka intuu carrabikiisa ku hayo xasuusta Allah sheydaan uma soo dhawaado. 2. Allah ayuu raalli geliyaa 3. Walwalka iyo murugta ayuu ka qaadaa qalbiga 4. Wuxuu keenaa farxadda 5. Wuxuu xoojiyaa qalbiga 6. Wajjiga ayuu nuuriyaa 7. Arzaaqda ayuu furaa 8. Wuxuu dhaxalsiiya qofka Allah xasusta haybad, iyo karaamad 9. Wuxuu dhaxalsiiya qofka xasuusta Allah inuu Allah iska jiro. 10. Allah ayuu ku dhoweeyaa 11. Wuxuu dhaxalsiiyaa jeceylka Allah oo ah ruuxa Islaamka 12. Wuxuu furaa fahamka diinta iyo culuumteeda 13. Wuxuu ku dhaxalsiiyaa in Allah uu ku xasuusto. 14. Dhikrigu waa nolosha Qalbga, qalbi aan Allah xasuusneyn, waa kalluun biyaha laga saarey. 15. Dhikrigu waa quutka, ama cunnada qalbiga. 16. Qalbiga ayuu ka nadiifiyaa midhidhka iyo dunuubta 17. Wuxuu kaa shuqliyaa xanta iyi danbiga 18. Meeshha Allah lagu xusu waxaa imaata malaaigta 19. Wuxuu kaa nabad gelyaa walwalka maalinka qiyaamaha, maxaa yeelay ma jirto saacad ku soo martay oodan Allah ku xasuusan oo aan aakhiro ka shallaynin inaad Allah illowday. 20. Qofka ku mashquula xuska Allah waxaa la siiyaa waxaan la siinnin kuwa Allah barya. 21. Waa cibaadad ugu sahlan, uguna fadli badan qofkii ka faaideysta 22. Xasuusta Allah waa abuurka jannada. Maanta intaas ayaan ku joojineynaa, si tafaq tiranna hadduu Allah yidhaado ayaan uga hadli doonnaa faaidooyinkaas iyo kuwa kale. Nur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haneefah Posted January 17, 2004 JZK walal...that was a very useful reminder. I think most of us remember Allah swt the most during the fourth state and put less emphasis on remembrance during other states. May Allah help us sustain our awareness of him all throughout our lives. I have a question though....does ghaflah have another meaning when it's being associated with death?...yacni when someone says, oh that was mowtul ghaflah...what does that mean exactly?

Nur Posted February 13, 2004 Haneefah sis You ask " I have a question though....does ghaflah have another meaning when it's being associated with death?...yacni when someone says, oh that was mowtul ghaflah...what does that mean exactly?" Answer: Ghaflah in Arabic language means " Being oblivious: of what is happening. So, in Computer lingo, it is like when the system is not aware of all the applications that are running, so when you command, the system does not respond, or if its doesm it is erratic in behaviour for being caught off guard and unprepared so at times it freezes, or acts funny. Ghaflah, therefore is the characteristic of someone who took all advice as not serious, and suddenly found that her calculation were all wrong, so in the case of death, when you die, it is like sleeping, but Mowtul ghaflah, is like heart attack, when you die without expecting to die, so in that sense you were caught off guard.
