- Committing sins (ma'siah),
insisting on repeating them again and again, without istighfar (seeking
Allah's forgiveness) and without practicing repentance. - Shirk (associating
anything with Allah) whether in intentions, by showing off our good
deeds to others, seeking others' appraisal, avoiding being blamed by
others, being afraid of someone, or to seek rewards from others than
Allah. This part of shirk is also called riyya' or showing off. All
these lead to deviation in Istiqamah, and when these stimuli are not
there, the person's work is not perfect any more and it is not done in
the best way possible. - Nifaq
(hypocrisy). There are two forms of nifaq: in belief and in action. The
Muslim who surrenders totally to the will of Allah and accept Islam
based on his/her choice is free from the first form of hypocrisy.
However any Muslim is subject to and should avoid the second form of
nifaq which the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, warned us about:
Not keeping promises and breaking them continuously without good
reasons or excuses, not fulfilling commitments we make with others,
being aggressive and unjust to others in quarrels, and disputes,
failing to shoulder responsibilities/burdens we are entrusted with,
etc. All these bad qualities should be avoided since they lead to the
weakening of our Istiqamah. - Bida'ah
(innovations in ibadah), whether genuine bida'ah (performing ibadah
which has not been ascribed by Shariah, i.e. revelation), or relative
bida'ah (failing to observe the requirements of doing ibadah - the five
criteria discussed in Hadith 5), will lead to decreasing the quality of
good action or ibadah.
are other factors that also contribute to the weakening of Istiqamah,
such as: recklessness, reluctance, heedlessness, being overwhelmed by a
deceiving enjoyment, and being mislead by self interests and desires.
Applying
the above mentioned steps and requirements pinpointed by scholars will
help in overcoming all these obstacles and barrier
