Another negative trait of the soul is when one gets angry for their own sake according to their own desires. A muslim should only get angered for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. This is when one is only angered when the commands of Allah, the Exalted, are violated. But even in cases like this, their response must be within the limits of Islam if they are not then it is proof that their anger is not for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. This was the condition of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, who never took revenge for his own sake but was only angered for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 3560.
The next negative trait of the soul is having extreme worry about one’s guaranteed provision and a lack of concern for what they have been commanded to do namely, the obligatory duties. When this worry becomes extreme it can take one towards seeking provision through unlawful means. A muslim should bear in mind that Allah, the Exalted, is the one who created them and has guaranteed to provide for them. The same way they do not doubt that He created them they should not doubt that He alone provides for them. Chapter 30 Ar Rum, verse 40:
“Allah is the one who created you, then provided for you…”
In fact, Allah, the Exalted, has allocated the provision for each creation over fifty thousand years before the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6748. How can one not receive something which was allocated to them so long ago?
The next negative trait of the soul is often sinning without sincerely repenting. According to a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 4244, when a person sins a black spot is etched on their spiritual heart. This blackness increases until their whole spiritual heart becomes submerged in darkness. A hard hearted person will become heedless to their duties and continue to sin. It is therefore important for muslims to sincerely repent from major and minor sins and persist in fulfilling the commands of Allah, the Exalted. This will lead to a sound pure spiritual heart.
