In today?s times when evil and corruption is so common and rife, every individual must taken it upon himself%2Fherself to protect and guard against the soul being corrupted. Hereunder, are some guidelines to guard one?s soul and spirituality.%0D%0A%0D%0Aa. Be punctual in performing the five daily Salaats. A male must ensure he performs Salaat with Jamaat in the Musjid.%0D%0A%0D%0Ab. Recite some portion of the Qur?aan daily. It is also important to read the translation and commentary of the Qur?aan daily. We recommend the following English translations: Muhammad Pickthall (Translation); Muhsin Khan (Translation); Tafseer-e-Usmani (with commentary); Daryabadi (with commentary); Maariful Qur%E3n (with commentary). NB. Any translation of the Noble Qur%E3n must be accompanied with the Arabic text next to the translation.%0D%0A%0D%0AC. Recite the following three Tasbeehs any time in the morning or evening, 100 times Istighfaar, 100 times third Kalimah, 100 times Durood upon Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). The above three Tasbeehaat should be read in isolation and concentration.%0D%0A%0D%0Ad. Always display good character even in front of one?s enemies. %0D%0A%0D%0Ae. Avoid intermingling with the opposite gender and lower one?s gaze. Do not let the mind and heart be polluted with the form and shape of the opposite gender. That is death to spirituality.%0D%0A%0D%0Af. Stay in the company of the pious. Bad company is detrimental to one?s Imaan and character.%0D%0A%0D%0Ag. Be conscious of life after death and accountability in the court of Allah Ta?ala.%0D%0A%0D%0Ah. Keep in touch with reliable Ulama. Make their Ikraam (honour) and seek their esteemed guidance.%0D%0A%0D%0AWe hope if one follows the above points, he%2Fshe will be protected from the tricks of the Shaytaan.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.
