Bond between Allah and Banda.

Some gems from Imam Ali (as) might be of help, Inshallah:

"There are four causes of infidelity and loss of belief in Allah: hankering after whims, a passion to dispute every argument, deviation from truth; and dissension, because whoever hankers after whims does not incline towards truth; whoever keeps on disputing every argument on account of his ignorance, will always remain blind to truth, whoever deviates from truth because of ignorance, will always take good for evil and evil for good and he will always remain intoxicated with misguidance. And whoever makes a breach (with Allah and His Messenger) his path becomes difficult, his affairs will become complicated and his way to salvation will be uncertain.

Similarly, doubt has also four aspects absurd reason- ing; fear; vacillation and hesitation; and unreasonable surrender to infidelity, because one who has accustomed himself to unreasonable and absurd discussions will never see the Light of Truth and will always live in the darkness of ignorance. One who is afraid to face facts (of life, death and the life after death) will always turn away from ultimate reality, one who allows doubts and uncertainties to vacillate him will always be under the control of Satan and one who surrenders himself to infidelity accepts damnation in both the worlds."

“I want to teach you five of those things which deserve your greatest anxiety to acquire them: Have hope only in Allah. Be afraid of nothing but sins. If you do not know a thing never feel ashamed to admit ignorance. If you do not know a thing never hesitate or feel ashamed to learn it. Acquire patience and endurance because their relation with true faith is that of a head to a body, a body is of no use without a head, similarly true faith can be of no use without attributes of resignation, endurance and patience.”

I wanted to say something similar but couldn’t find the right expressions … Sayyiduna Ali (AS) … SubhanAllah

For the purpose of Mirch:

a) Hankering after the whims - operating on impulse, following ones own desires without questioning them

b) A passion to dispute every argument - simply being argumentative seals the mind and heart from allowing other ideas to take root

c) Deviation from truth - Since this state divorces us from a connection we go about in ignorance increasing our falsehood thinking it to be the opposite. For example an enlightened heart will set out to find God, but one whose light has been taken away will conclude that rationally if God wanted to be found then He would show Himself clearly - thus the ignorance arrogates the individual away from the Mercy of God.

d) Dissension - Means to disobey, dishonour, and openly reject. In this context it is Allah (SWT) who is disobeyed. That condition leads to other worse conditions because by then the heart is sealed from the light and hence can never experience God.
