Bad Thoughts About A Guy From The Past

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

A Muslim girl feels lots of resentment and grudge towards a Muslim guy because of things he said to her in the past (they shouldn’t have been talking in the first place). But this girl finds pleasuring in knowing that he is still doing haram things (i.e.: talking to non mahram girls on the phone) while this girl has repented. She finds satisfaction with herself that she is not doing such things. Is this bad? How can one go about to correct these feelings? There is no way that this girl will talk to the guy and tell him to correct his behavior. What is the least she can do?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam,

Such feelings are very blameworthy.

The Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) said, “None of you [truly] believes until he love s f or his brother that which he love s f or himself.”

The most essential of these matters we love for others is belief and obedience to Allah: we must wish for all to be fir m in belief and steadfast in obedience to Allah.

Whenever a bad though occurs about that brother, the sister in question should make a heart-felt dua to Allah for the brother’s worldly and next-worldly success, out of genuine concern, and ask Allah that He clear her heart of such bad thoughts.

And Allah alone gives success.

Walaikum assalam,
Faraz Rabbani.

Random Q&A

  I bought shares in a listed company over a period of 7 years.  The shares were bought at various prices; some were at a higher price than the current share price, and some were bought at a lower price than the current share price. Some were bought with my own money, and some were bought with money borrowed on a 0% credit card. I recently discovered that the company is haram because it has no earnings, except from interest, and has large debt on which it pays interest. I understand that I must sell the shares, and any profit made has to be donated to charity. I need some advice on how to go about selling the shares, as the total value of my holding is less than what I paid/invested. Some shares are in profit, the majority are in a loss.  There are a few options available: 1)      Wait until the total value of the shares is equal to the  money I invested, and sell. This means that some share will be in profit,  and some will be at loss, but the profit cancels out the loss. 2)      Sell shares as each lot/tranche of shares reaches the price that I paid for them. Donate any excess to charity. This means that it may take  a long time to dispose of the shares, as the price will have to at least double. In fact, the price may never reach what I paid. Do I need to treat the shares purchased by borrowing money on credit card separately to the shares purchased using my own money. How should I deal with transaction costs? If it cost me £12 to buy 10 000 shares at 10p, and it costs me £12 to sell the shares, I have lost £24.
