Gyst of Alwaez Kamaludin

[samirziz]

Why can't we concentrate in our prayers or our bandagi"?


Attachment to material things. The more things we have the more we need to take care of it. Our time and energy is wasted in maintaining these things. The possessions take us over. We become slaves to our possessions.

Attachment to our relationships. Learn to keep a little detached from your relationships. The children that are born through you are not your possessions. You give them love and guidance but they are Allah's souls. If you were to lose anybody in your life - you should be prepared to accept it.

Attachment to your body. We spend so much time and energy to make ourselves look different than how we are. We should be comfortable with ourselves. If we are possessed with how we look - that becomes a hindrance

Attachment to Wealth. Accumulation of wealth for the purpose of hoarding it is not part of Islam. Use what you need and share what is excess. When we are busy just making money so that we can accumulate, we have no time for anything else. There is no satisfaction and that ties us down.

Attachment to the past. When people have hurt us in the past, we can't seem to shake it off. We carry the anger with us in the present. That anger takes us over. When
we forgive we do ourselves a justice. We free ourselves. Therefore, don't waste time and energy into things that have happened in the past. In fact, when someone hurts you - feel it for few minutes and then let go. Alwaez said all this stuff is garbage. Do you keep garbage in your house or you take it out? Similarly, remove all anger and throw it out.

I recieved it in email from someone who was present in that waez. Quite interesting, and true isnt it?
