Alhamdulillah We have decided to create a new YouTube channel named “Shafi’i Fiqh” where we aim to share Shafi’i Fiqh through Athari scholars. Here is the link to our first video:
Ibn al-Qayyim said: "The calamity of all calamities is the sin from which another sin is born, then from the two a third is born, then the three strengthen and necessitate a fourth, and so on and so forth. "
The Prophet ﷺ sought to disrupt this loop and break it from the first instance, advising: وأتبِع السيئة الحسنة تمحها (follow the bad deed with a good deed, it will erase it).
قال ابن القيم رحمه الله والمصيبة كل المصيبة الذنب الذي يتولد من الذنب ثم يتولد من الاثنين ثالث ثم تقوى الثلاثة فتوجب رابعا وهلم جرا، ومن لم يكن له فقه نفس في هذا الباب هلك من حيث لا يشعر
While the soul still yearns for redemption, while it still recognises the sin as a sin, the urgency to escape this vicious cycle is now greater than ever.
