The Softening of the heart

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Everything in this world praises the All-Mighty Creator
Don't be left behind

Subhanallahi wabihamdih

Take a deep breath and listen to a qari reciting the book of Allah. Open your heart and taste it, the sweetness of having the words of Allah floating in the atmosphere, penetrating through the hearts and enlightening the soul. Sometimes, words of tadzkir at tarheeb (reminders of apprehension) of the hell fire and the agony of death shook the heart in a way that it pierces through you and breaking your nafs into pieces while the gentle verses of love (tadzkir at targheeb) that tells you of the bounties of heaven melts in your heart, like a splash of cool raindrops falling on dry lands. These verses of love, softer than feather yet sharper than swords lingers around you as if it was living. With a soothing feeling, it mixes with your blood and flows through your veins, watering the flesh and organs to give life to the body and food to the soul.

Masha Allah tabarakallah
Its beautiful isn't it?

But, with this great blessings, comes great responsibility

How would it feel to be like those blessed martyrs to be chosen to die in the path of Allah (either on the battlefield or in any form of jihad fi sabilillah)? Definitely with my scarcely-there good deeds we might not be in the list yet but we'll try and try until Allah grants us His guidance and divine love to sow the seeds of iman in our hearts and let it grow as trees that bears fruits of love and matiinul khuluq or He took us away to His side as we strive for jannah. May we be blessed to live and die in the path of Allah to gain maghfirah and the promises that were jannatul firdausi as vast as the earth and the sky. Allahumma ameen.

Allahumma a'inni 'ala dhikrika wa syukrika wa husni ibaadatik
Subhanallah wa astghfirullah wa atuubu ilayk

Wallahua'lam
Segala puji hanya bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam
