An explanation of hiqd (malice) and keena (hatred)—the final debasing qualities (Akhlaq-e-Razeelah) covered from the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Maseehullah Khan Saheb Rahimahullah—and how to purify the heart from them.
Key Lessons
- Definition of Hiqd & Keena: Unresolved personal anger (ghussah) that is neither vented nor suppressed/cured, leading to internal hatred and a desire to see harm befall another person.
- Distinction from Mere Avoidance: Simply staying away from someone due to personality clashes or to preserve peace of mind is not keena, provided there is no ill-will or desire for harm.
- Consequences: Malice ruins inner peace, destroys personal health, and deprives a person of divine forgiveness.
- Clearing One's Heart: If one sincerely seeks forgiveness and purges ill feelings toward another who refuses to reconcile, the person who made the effort is absolved before Allah Ta'ala.
Quranic/Hadith References
- Reference to Hadith regarding Laylatun-Nisf min Sha'ban (15th of Sha'ban): Allah Ta'ala grants widespread forgiveness on this night, yet those who harbor malice and hatred against others are excluded from this mercy until they repent.
Practical Advice
- Address anger (ghussah) early before it festers into deep-seated malice.
- Overlook the faults of others and accept their words at face value instead of over-analyzing or assuming hidden negative motives.
- Actively combat malice by being friendly, greeting with Salam, giving small gifts (e.g., ittar), and making Du'a for the person.
