The Sunnah is Not Found in Self-Righteousness
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh
‘Abd al-Hakim Murad Timothy John Winter said, “Beware of others or beware of
yourself when the energy that moves you in life is actually the ego’s energy,
but has found a religious form of expression – that is the most dangerous thing
of all. Self-righteousness that can lead
to you eventually blowing yourself up in public – that is the kind of ultimate
triumph of the ego: Using the forms of piety in order to magnify the
turbulences within.
The
sunnah is not to be used as a megaphone for our own internal traumas. The sunnah is a way of moving away from
our own rubbish and to mould ourselves outwardly in the form of somebody who is
serene - who despite all of the threats, is always smiling, never had any
difficulty sleeping, never had ego issues, always at ease.”
