3 Doors down

The Hellfire from Three Doors
Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim

Mankind will enter the hell fire from three doors:

1. The door of a shubhah' that caused the person to inherit doubt in the deen of Allah.

2. The door of base desires (shahwah') that caused the person to give presedence to his desires over the pleasure and obedience to Allah.

3. The door of anger that causes transgresion against the creation of Allah.

The root of all sins are three:

1. Arrogance, and it is that which caused iblees to become what he is.

2. Covetiousness (hirs), and it is that which took Adaam (`alayhis salaam) out of the Jannah.

3. Envy, and it is that which caused one of the sons of Adaam to kill his brother.

So whoever has been protected from the evil of these three things, then he has been protected from all evil- as kufr is from arrogance and disobedience is from covetiousness and oppression and transgression is from envy.
