"Recently, the swine flu scare had been going on. People ran to the doctors at the smallest signs of flu, stayed away from big gatherings where the risk was higher, and took a lot of precaution to not catch this flu.
There is a similar flu in islam, called the spiritual flu.
This is when we don't feel like praying, don't feel like reading quran,feel like resorting to sins, and so on. Similar to the physical flu, at the slightest symptom we should go to seek help from a religious figure before it gets too late.
Similar to the physical flu, we should stay away from environments where we run the risk of doing sins (mixed weddings, theaters, bad friends, and the like).
Similar to the physical flu, we should take precaution and once we do catch the flu, try to cure it by tawbah before it gets too late and too embedded in our system like cancer and then we won't want to do tawbah, we won't care anymore, we cannot differentiate between right and wrong and so on.
So always remember to do tawbah tawbah tawbah. As quick as possible. Even if just in your head. Don't let it sit and ruin you.
If we can run to the doctor for symptoms of diseases,
we can run to Allah, the greatest curer for our biggest disease.


And Allah Knows Best
