For each of these there is a cure or virtue. And
we must learn to practice them.
Humility
(opposite: pride and arrogance)
Generosity (opposite:
envy and miserliness)
Patience (opposite: anger
and haste)
Charity (opposite: greed
and selfishness)
Diligence (opposite: laziness
and carelessness)
These are all antidotes to the weaknesses within
us. In order to develop these virtues, we must increase
positive personalities, which flow naturally from
a heart-consciousness:
Faith, Hope, Gratitude and Love
Without Faith, a person
may not see the need to please anybody but himself
and thus he would easily lose his way and fall into
the weak, broken cracks on life’s road.
Without Hope, a person
may not be able to face the trials of life and look
beyond his immediate problems to the future, where
all things come right through God’s Justice
and endless Mercy.
Without Gratitude, a person
cannot worship and thank God, or appreciate the
basic purpose of his existence.
Without Love, he may consider
tasks to be too burdensome, like carrying a heavy
rock. Down the road and he may give up because he
is not driven by the strongest motivator available
in this universe.
Thus, We have given each prophet
enemies, human and jinn's devils, who inspire
to each other fancy sayings to deceive. Had your
Lord willed, they would not have done it, so disregard
them and what they fabricate 12
