Reality of Yazeed within us

Question: What is meant by the reality of having a Yazeed within us?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the Realities of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), having a Yazeed within us refers to the presence of negative traits and characteristics that are contrary to the teachings of Islam and the path of spirituality. Yazeed represents tyranny, oppression, and arrogance, and having a Yazeed within us means harboring similar negative qualities in our hearts and actions.

In the teachings of Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), it is emphasized that we should strive to purify our hearts and rid ourselves of any traits that resemble the darkness embodied by Yazeed. This purification involves cultivating qualities such as humility, compassion, justice, and mercy, which are in line with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the path of spirituality.

Therefore, recognizing and addressing the presence of a Yazeed within us involves a deep introspection and a sincere effort to transform negative traits into positive attributes. By doing so, we align ourselves with the light and guidance of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and distance ourselves from the darkness symbolized by Yazeed.

May Allah (SWT) grant us the strength and wisdom to purify our hearts and rid ourselves of any negative traits, and may He guide us to embody the noble qualities exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Ameen.

It is important to remember that the path of spirituality is a journey of self-improvement and transformation, and we should strive to emulate the beautiful character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in all aspects of our lives.
