Consequences of Actions

Amirul Momineen Ali (as) said: “When the intentions pollute, trials befall.”

Shaykh Rajab Ali Khayyat (ra) narrates: "I was in a bazaar, when a makrooh (undesirable) thought came to my mind. I quickly repented and sought the Almighty Allah’s forgiveness by Isteghfaar and continued with my task…

A little further, a train of camels passed by, suddenly one of the camels threw a kick towards me, had it hit and if I had not moved back, it would have been dangerous. I went to the mosque, thought a lot, that everything is calculated, then what was this camel kick towards me?

I was told, ‘Shaykh, that kick was due to the makrooh thought.’

I replied, ‘But I did no wrong…’

I was told, ’And the camel’s kick did not hit you either!’

The law of consequences of actions rules in the universe, even a negative thought can have a negative effect.

My Salaam to My Imam in an Envelope of Noor.
