If you remove the jeem of jah and the ba of bah, you are left with ah. This ah brings one into close proximity to Allah. You will find this ah in the word Allah. Allah has included this ah in His name so that when man experiences grief in sacrificing his status and desires, he will find solace in Allah’s name. Has not the whole of tasawwuf been encompassed in two sentences. These two illnesses make one rejected and entrapped by shaytan. He then becomes distant from Allah. Some people, due to their arrogance, think of themselves as being very great. Some people are involved with women. The carnal desires have overpowered such people. Haji Imdadullah Sheikhul Arab Wal Ajam (Rahimahullah) says that there are basically two illnesses of the nafs. The remaining are all branches. One is jah while the other is bah. Wipe out the feeling within you of becoming great. How can you decide now whether you are great or not? Allah will make this decision on the day of Qiyamah. Our value will be determined by Allah. The slave that determines his own value is foolish and insane. Allamah Sayyid Sulaiman Nadwi states,

When Allah will determine our value on the day of Qiyamah, then enter jannah while expressing gratitude over His grace and bounty. But the one who determines his own value in the world and regards himself superior to others is arrogant.
