The Heart Is Truly Amazing.

[Abu Habiba]

As-Salaam alaikum,

In ayat 28 of Surat Ra'ad of the Holy Qur'an (13:28), Allah Ta'ala says:--

     "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest/satisfaction".

And in the Hadith, we have read it where the Noble Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:-

  "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."

 

 Sheikh Abu Abdullah at-Tirmidhi Hakeem, may Allah be Merciful to him, said that "Zikr [remembrance of Allah Ta'ala] 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."

Indeed, the life of the heart (qalb) is related to Allah's Remembrance. Man has only to to implant Allah's Name firmly in his heart, what follows is amazing. So, be engaged in Zikr always... or most of the time. 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, obey and act according to Allah's Will... Tabaraka Wa Ta'ala.
