Qorax,
I want to share these lines with you all that reflect the nature of human beings... By any mean I am saying we are mean, or ignorants. And I understan ignorant refers t osomeone who ignores something... JUST THAT THIS TREAD MAKES ME THINK OF HOW ANXIOUS WE ARE.
Dr. Yahya al-Yahya states that it is necessary to understand the fundamental nature of a human being, that he is: weak, hasty, ignorant and unjust. He is also unappreciative, anxious, obstructive, fearful, mean, stingy, and miserly. He loves to argue, arrogantly ignores and turns away from his Lord in wealth and health, and despairs when in poverty and sickness. He also rejoices and boasts when in wealth to other slaves of Allah. He is never fed up or bored of asking for wealth.
These characteristics are always present in one; however, they increase or decrease, surface or fade away according to the upbringing and the amendment of the spirit.
He is also afflicted with hardships, works industriously, and struggles diligently all his life.
Allah the Most High says:
"Man is ever hasty." [Israa', 11]
"Mankind was created weak." [an-Nisaa', 28]
"Man was created of haste (i.e., impatience)." [al-Anbiyaa', 37]
"But man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant." [al-Ahzab, 72]
"Indeed man, to his Lord, is ungrateful." [al-Aadiyat, 6]
"Indeed, mankind was created anxious. When evil touches him, impatient, and when good touches him, withholding [of it]." [al-Ma`arij, 19]
Anxiety is strength of impatience in states of affliction, and strength of attachment to this world and holding onto it in states of blessings, fearing it will diminish and slip away.
