DO NOT DESPAIR OF THE MERCY OF ALLAH
DO NOT DESPAIR OF THE MERCY OF ALLAH
Allah Almighty says in Az-Zumar-53: Say: "O My servants who have burdened their souls with extravagance (exceeding the limit)! Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Surely Allah will forgive (convert into rewards) all of your sins. Surely He is the Gafûr (Forgiving), the Rahîm (the One who sends the light of mercy)."
This address also includes servants who are under negative influences such as yoga, meditation, and astral travel. So, is it possible for a person to get out of these negative influences? Yes, Allah is capable of converting all your sins into good deeds, as long as you wish to reach Allah from your heart, perform the prayer of need and ask Allah for your religious guide and repent (pledge allegiance) to the murshid (religious guide).
After a person reaches their religious guide, their own spirit leaves their body and sets off towards Allah. Its place is taken by the spirit of the imam of the time, who will perform this duty in the best way. The spirit of the imam of the time is also a guardian. He is a protector and armor that protects people and jinn from all evils of the Satan.
Ar-Ra'd-11: For them (those in that nation) there are those who pursuing before them and behind them (the spirits of the Imam of the Time stretched from front to back). They guard them, being from the Command of Allah. Surely Allah does not alter what is in a people (He does not take away the spirit of the Imam of the Time from over their heads) unless they alter what is in their souls (their intention of remaining in Return). And when Allah wills punishment to a people, there is no averting it. And there is for them besides Him no protecting friend.
Ash-Shu'ara-215: And open your wings unto those of the believers who have obeyed you.
The spirit of the imam of the time takes a person under its protection both from front to back and from right to left. The satan was saying in Al-A'raf-17:
Al-A'raf-17: Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and You will not find most of them thankful.
'When the spirit of the imam of the time settles above your head, nothing will remain of Satan’s dark knowledge. The dark practices are full of jinn. What will you do when you are faced with a dark influence? You will start dhikr (repeat the name of Allah). Dhikr (repetition of the name of Allah) wipes out the darkness in your heart. These creatures are found in dirty and dark places; when you cleanse your heart, it is not possible for them to hold on there. Even if they try to hold on, Allah Almighty has granted, on the Rabbani path, the authority to recite at the post of guidance (irshâd). Through this recitation and dhikr, you are assuredly cleansed of these negative influences—but only if you believe. If a person thinks, “There is a jinn inside me; I cannot be freed from it,” then by doubting, they are locking the door from within.
The religious guide (murshid) is the doctor of all soul diseases. It is possible to get rid of these diseases with the prescription given by the religious guide (murshid). If there are people around you who are under the influence of darkness (zulmânî), be a means for them to wish to reach Allah from the heart.
