Harms of hastiness

* Writings, speeches and conversation have no effect

* The sacred relationship of husband and wife becomes strained

* It becomes a means of harm for many organisational matters as well

* A hasty individual is deprived of sincere people

* It sows the seeds of hatred in the hearts

* It can pose many risks

* A hasty person makes wrong judgements

* A hasty person’s future can be ruined

* A hasty person is not able to properly ponder over the advantages and disadvantages of an action before doing it, and usually ends up in loss

* He considers good to be bad, and bad to be good

* He blindly trusts everyone

* He becomes fearless in making a Shar’i judgement on everyone

* He is even careless in the matters of food and drink

* He causes harm to his organisation, movement and institute

* The example of the hasty individual is like the one who ‘listens to everyone but does his own thing’

* He violates the rights of others just to fulfil his own right

* It becomes a means of causing harms to other Muslims too and a hasty person has been condemned in the Quran also:

It is stated in part 15, Surah Bani Israel, verse 11:

وَ یَدْعُ الْاِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهٗ بِالْخَیْرِؕ-وَ كَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ عَجُوْلًا(۱۱)

And (sometimes) man prays for evil just as he seeks goodness,
and man is very hasty.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part. 15, Surah Bani Israel, Ayah 11)
