Syeikh Abdul Kadir Abdul Mutalib dalam buku karangannya yang bertajuk Penawara Bagi Hati menjelaskan mengenai 10 celaan Allah s.w.t. terhadap manusia akibat daripada kelakuan dan tabiat manusiaitu sendiri dalam menempuh kehidupan seharian. Sepuluh celaan itu berdasarkan 10 sikap yang lazim dilakukan manusia iaitu:
Gelojoh ketika makan
Seseorang yang terlalu kuat makan dan bersikap tidak sopan ketika menjamah makanan. Sikap ini juga meliputi maksud makan terlalu kenyang dan menyediakan makanan dalam jumlah yang berlebihan sehingga membawa kepada pembaziran.
Banyak bercakap
Allah s.w.t. mencela manusia yang suka bercakap perkara yang sia-sia, fitnah memfitnah, umpat keji dan kata mengata kerana semua jenis percakapan itu menjurus kepada permusuhan dan perbalahan sesama manusia.

Is it that you hold your Mushaf, are reciting from it and yet your mind is wandering from the food in the fridge to the weather outside? You’re unaware of what you are articulating and can’t just focus? If so this piece of writing is intended for you.
Reciting the Qur’an is a
source of barakah and, as we know, barakah is a key to productivity. Therefore we must aim to recite it in anticipation of Allah’s pleasure and barakah from him.
Indeed reading the Arabic words contains reward and you attain 10 rewards for every single letter that you pronounce. However, reading while reflecting and reciting with comprehension holds a greater benefit! Unfortunately Arabic, for many of us, is a foreign language and we are only skimming through the pages.
Here are some tips for a productive Quran recital; get the most benefit out of it!
1. Choose a hassle free time when your brain is unsullied and free from the clutters and chatters of everyday life. The best time for sure is around Fajr, it’s the time of barakah, and reciting Quran at that time is witnessed as Allah
(glorified and exalted be He) says: “Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Quran of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.”[
Quran: Chapter 17 ,Verse 78]

Pernahkah kita membayangkan bahawa apabila tiba masanya, kita akan terbujur kaku dan tidak bergerak-gerak lagi. Kemudian orang ramai akan memandikan, mengkafankan dan mengusung kita di atas tandu jenazah. Lalu nampaklah oleh kita sebuah lubang yang selama ini ditakuti oleh semua manusia yang hidup; lubang kubur.
Pernahkah kita membayangkan bahawa saat itu mereka bagaikan tidak mengasihani kita, terus dan tanpa ragu menyumbatkan jasad kita ke lubang lahad, menutupnya dengan beberapa bilah kayu atau batang pisang. Dan kemudian menguburkan kita dengan tahan, berdoa dan pergi meninggalkan kita selama-lamanya.
Melangkah Tujuh Langkah
Saat mereka pergi tujuh langkah meninggalkan kawasan perkuburan, tiba-tiba datanglah dua lembaga yang sangat menggerunkan. Soalan mereka sederhana, tetapi disampaikan dengan suara yang keras bagaikan bunyi petir di tengah hari. Manakala keadaan kita ketika itu sangat lemah, kesejukan, ketakutan dan tidak bermaya.
Saudaraku, jika anda berasa takut dan gerun, sesungguhnya Rasulullah s.a.w. pun juga sangat merisaukan keadaan tersebut yang akan menimpa setiap umatnya. Oleh itu, baginda s.a.w. sebagai Nabi kita tercinta telah mengajarkan kepada kita amalan-amalan hebat yang akan berguna pada saat menghadapi perkara seperti itu.

Allaah has granted intellect to human beings. The intellect entails responsibility. The more intellect a person has, the more he/she is responsible.
When the intellect is missing, the responsibility is also not there. Little children are not held responsible, because their intellect has not yet developed. The insane are not responsible, because they have lost the intellectual capacity. However, part of our being human is also that we make mistakes. Sometime we make mistakes without deliberation and intention. But sometime we knowingly and deliberately sin and do wrong to others.
It is said: “To err is human and to forgive is divine.” Both parts of this statement are very true. As human beings we are responsible, but we do also make mistakes and we are constantly in need of forgiveness.
Islam speaks about two elements of forgiveness:
a) Allaah’s forgiveness;
b) Human forgiveness. We need both, because we do wrong in our relations to Allaah as well as in our relations to each other.
There are many names of Allaah given in the Qur’an. They are called “Most beautiful names” and they indicate many different and diverse attributes and qualities of Allaah. Some of these names are related to His mercy and forgiveness. Let us look at some of these names:
