SHAFAQNA –
It is narrated from Imam Sadeq (AS) who said: The typical cases which lead the human being to rebel against Divine Commands and commit sins against Allah (SWT) are summarized in six cases; (of course there are other cases but the following ones are more usual) [1].
- Love of the world
- Love of the position and being in control
- Love of food and eating
- Having excessive sexual desire towards women
- Love of sleep (for example does not/cannot/not willing to wake up for Dawn Salaat)
- Loving comfort
The common word in all the above cases is “love”; which means having very strong/deep/excessive/abnormal feeling and affection (being smitten) towards someone or something.
