Cure For Riyaa & Kibr - by Imaam Ibnul Qayyim

[1] Cure For Riyaa & Kibr:

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim said: The heart is exposed to two severe diseases – Riyaa & Kibr. The statement ‘You [Allaah] alone do we worship’ is the remedy for Riyaa & the statement ‘You [Allaah] alone do we ask for help’ is the remedy for Kibr.

[2] Cure For Riyaa & Kibr:

I [i.e. Ibnul Qayyim] have heard Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah many times saying that the statement, ‘You [Allaah] alone do we worship’ repels Riyaa and the statement, ‘You [Allaah] alone do we ask for help’ repels Kibr.

Abu Uthmaan Sa’eed Bin Ismaa’eel [rahimahullaah] said: Fear of Allaah leads you to Allaah’s [pleasure]; pride and self-amazement cuts you off from Allaah’s [pleasure] and belittling the people in your soul [or heart] is an incurable disease.

[Hilyatul Awliyaa 10/245]

Kibr is a barrier to submission, Hasad is a barrier to accepting sincere advice & giving it, [uncontrolled] anger is a barrier to justice...

1: Kibr is a barrier to submission, Hasad is a barrier to accepting sincere advice & giving it, [uncontrolled] anger is a barrier to justice & [evil] desire  is a barrier to allocating time for dedication in worship.

2: When Kibr is removed, it becomes easy on a person to submit; when Hasad is removed, it becomes easy on him to accept sincere advice; when [uncontrolled] anger is removed, it becomes easy on him to be just & humble.

3: When [evil] desire is removed, it becomes easy on him to be patient, chaste & carry out acts of worship.
