    Taqwa: The cure for All Decay – Episode 20

    This episode provides an insight on an address by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad regarding the vital importance of Taqwa (righteousness) and the necessity for a believer's internal state to match their outward claims. He emphasizes that for those who have pledged allegiance to a divinely commissioned teacher, righteousness is the only way to be delivered from malice, worldly attachments, and the "blemish" of sin, which can blacken the heart if left unchecked. He warns that historical failures of the faithful often occurred because their hearts were disposed to worldly interests despite their verbal declarations of faith, noting that even the Holy Prophet (sa) remained in fervent prayer because God is "Self-Sufficient" and not bound by hollow claims. Consequently, the rewards of true Taqwa include divine guardianship and provision from unexpected sources, which liberates a person from feeling compelled to use immoral means, such as lying, to achieve worldly success. Ultimately, this path leads to divine nearness, a state where Allah becomes the spiritual "eyes," "ears," and "hands" of the believer, granting them unique insight and responding to their every supplication.

    The Spiritual Ladder of Istighfar and Divine Protection – Episode 19

    This episode explores the profound spiritual depth of istighfār, defining it as a proactive effort to seek divine protection before a moral failing occurs.

The source distinguishes between seeking strength to prevent future errors and practicing repentance to mend the soul after a transgression has taken place. It emphasizes that Allah acts as the ultimate concealer of flaws, not only pardoning mistakes but also shielding a person’s honor and dignity from public disgrace. Ultimately, the passage serves as a call for constant humility and vigilance, urging individuals to cleanse their hearts and seek refuge in the Creator’s mercy.
