Overcome Defeats and Humiliation

Question: How to overcome defeats and humiliation from this dunya?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), we understand that the material world (dunya) can bring about defeats and humiliation. These are part of the tests and trials that we face in this life. The dunya, along with desires (hawa), ego (nafs), and Satan (Shaytan), are the enemies that can block the soul and lead to feelings of defeat and humiliation.

To overcome these challenges, it’s important to focus on the spiritual aspects of life. When facing defeat and humiliation, it’s an opportunity to work on the heart and soul. The struggles we face in this world can be a means of purification and growth. By turning to spiritual practices such as making wudu (ablution) and seeking the cooling and peaceful effect of water, we can wash away the negative emotions and seek mercy from Allah.

Moreover, when faced with difficulties, it’s essential to remember that Allah’s wisdom is behind every test. These challenges are meant to bring us closer to Him. By being patient and persevering through the difficulties, we can attain a higher spiritual station. It’s a reminder to seek refuge in Allah and to strengthen our connection with Him.

In addition, seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through durood sharif and salawats can bring immense blessings and help in overcoming defeats and humiliation. These acts of remembrance and supplication can elevate the soul and bring solace during challenging times.

Remember, the struggles of this world are temporary, and by seeking the pleasure of Allah and the love of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we can find strength and resilience. May Allah grant you the patience and perseverance to overcome defeats and humiliation, and may you find peace and contentment in His remembrance.

It’s important to have good character, high determination, and to be of service to the Tariqa and others. May Allah bless you with strength and guidance on your spiritual journey.
