The Heart Is Amazing!

[Abu Hafsat]

As-Salaam alaikum,

          ''Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest/satisfaction'' (Ra'ad 13:28)

And in the Hadith, we learnt of where the Noble Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, was quoted as having said that:

          ''There is a piece of flesh in the body, if it becomes good (reformed), the whole

           body becomes good but if it gets spoiled, the whole body gets spoiled and that is the heart.''

 

Imam Abu Abdullah at-Tirmidhi Hakeem says that:--

         ''The Zikr [remembrance] of Allah moistens the heart and cultivates tenderness in it.

           When the heart is bereft of Zikrullah, the heat of the nafs overtakes it; the fire of lust

         reaches it and it becomes barren and hard.''

The lie of qalb (the heart) is related to Allah's Remembrance. Man has only to implant Allah's Name firmly in his heart, what follows is amazing. So, be engaged in Zikr always... With that you find out that even though our hands cannot feel Allah Ta'ala, the mind cannot grasp Him but the heart would vividly recognize Him.

With regular, constant Zikr, the heart can discern Allah Ta'ala, hear Him, entreat Him, Obey and act according to His Will.
