Wise Sayings

[Umm Mohammad]

Ibn Al-Qayyim
has stated


There are four bases of infidelity
Pride..... Envy..... Anger..... Desire


Pride can be prevented through submission to Allah
envy through advice and offering it
anger through justice
desire through devoting oneself to worship

The origins of these four is being ignorant of Allah and of himself. If he knew his Lord- the attributes of His Perfection and the qualities of His Majesty
and knew himself- and his defects and faults

then

He would never be proud or angry, and would never envy anyone about what Allah granted him
