The following four deeds bring misery to a person’s heart, so avoid them:
1. Complaining and being angry with what Allah has decreed.
2. Committing sins without repenting afterwards.
Say [to them], It is, from yourselves [because of your evil deeds]. (Qur’an 3: 165)
1t is because of what your hands have earned. (Qur’an 42: 30)
3. Hating people for the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon them.
Or do they envy men for what Allah has given them of His Bounty? (Qur’an 4: 54)
4. Turning away from the remembrance of Allah:
…verily, for him is a life of hardship… (Qur’an 20: 124)
