Question: How to come against our inner hypocrite?
Shaykh AI:
B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the struggle against the inner hypocrite is a fundamental part of the spiritual journey. It involves recognizing and addressing the characteristics of hypocrisy within ourselves. The path to overcoming this inner struggle begins with sincere repentance and seeking forgiveness from Allah (AJ) and those around us.
One of the key teachings is to constantly seek forgiveness from Allah (AJ) by saying ‘Astagfirullah’ whenever a mistake is made. Additionally, seeking forgiveness from family members and praying for forgiveness from Allah (AJ) is essential in combating the traits of hypocrisy within ourselves. This process involves a deep inner struggle and a commitment to self-improvement.
Furthermore, building a strong relationship with a spiritual guide or Murshid is vital for spiritual growth. The guidance of a master is crucial in distinguishing true inspirations from false imaginations. It is important to maintain a close relationship with the Murshid, revealing all hopes, fears, and faults, and following their counsel diligently.
As one progresses on this path, there may be a change in understanding and sensibility, leading to a feeling of helplessness and emptiness. At this stage, it is essential to maintain a strong connection with the Shaykh to avoid being lost in an imaginary world and to seek guidance in overcoming these challenges.
In summary, the struggle against the inner hypocrite requires sincere repentance, seeking forgiveness, and building a strong relationship with a spiritual guide. By following these teachings and maintaining a connection with the Shaykh, one can strive to overcome the inner struggles and progress on the path of spiritual growth.
May Allah (ﷻ) grant us the strength and guidance to overcome our inner struggles and purify our hearts. Ameen. It is important to remember that the journey of self-improvement is ongoing, and we should strive to perfect our character and be of service to the Tariqa and others.
