Is our level of Imaan proportional to our lvl of sprituality
-
I believe shamsul-arefin has started an excellent topic about how eating the meat of a pig can effect us. According to my knowledge i believe that disobeying any command of Allah will harm us in terms of our Imaan and also in terms of sprituality. The problem with this topic is that spirutality is intangible so i hope i don't confuse ppl here. Anyway to proove this futher let us use the Quran.
So far i've goten verses from Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW)
002.056
YUSUFALI Then We raised you up after your death Ye had the chance to be grateful.
002.057
YUSUFALI And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying "Eat of the good things We have provided for you" (But they rebelled); to us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
002.090
YUSUFALI Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith.
002.110
YUSUFALI And be steadfast in prayer and regular in charity And whatever good ye send forth for your souls before you, ye shall find it with Allah for Allah sees Well all that ye do.
002.130
YUSUFALI And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous
002.200
YUSUFALI So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter.
002.223
YUSUFALI Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.
002.231
YUSUFALI When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their ('Iddat), either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms; but do not take them back to injure them, (or) to take undue advantage; if any one does that; He wrongs his own soul. Do not treat Allah's Signs as a jest, but solemnly rehearse Allah's favours on you, and the fact that He sent down to you the Book and Wisdom, for your instruction. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is well acquainted with all things.
002.265
YUSUFALI And the likeness of those who spend their substance, seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls, is as a garden, high and fertile heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest, and if it receives not Heavy rain, light moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.
002.272
YUSUFALI It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.
002.281
YUSUFALI And fear the Day when ye shall be brought back to Allah. Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly.
002.286
YUSUFALI On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."
